Automation

Agents that monitor and act on the web.

Create agents that watch sites, feeds and APIs and trigger actions — a self-hosted IFTTT.

Huginn is for automation that reacts to the outside world, running quietly on your own server.

1
Provision a VPS
Choose a plan with room for your data as well as the app.
2
Install the stack
Install Ruby on Rails + MySQL/Postgres.
3
Deploy the application
Follow the project’s official install guide for your distribution.
4
Enable HTTPS
Serve it on your own domain behind a reverse proxy with a certificate.
5
Back it up
Schedule a database dump plus a copy of any uploaded files to an off-box location.

Give Huginn its own database user with rights only on its own schema.
Reverse-proxy Huginn and terminate TLS at the proxy so certificates are managed in one place.
Take a VPS snapshot before major upgrades so you can roll back cleanly.
Keep Huginn patched — most self-hosting incidents are unpatched software.
