Overview

Postiz is a self hosted social media scheduler for teams that publish across more than one channel. Postiz covers the familiar Buffer style workflow: plan posts on a calendar, connect social accounts, collaborate with teammates, review analytics, and schedule content across platforms such as X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord, and more.

The appeal is control. You can run it yourself with Docker Compose, PostgreSQL, Redis, Temporal, and local or cloud object storage. The hosted product is paid, while the open source version is available under AGPL 3.0, with the project saying the hosted and self hosted versions currently have the same feature set.

Postiz also has automation hooks that make sense for small teams already using n8n, Make, Zapier, or custom API workflows. The public API, webhooks, team comments, repeated posts, post delays, analytics, and AI content tools turn it into more than a simple queue.

The hard part is social platform plumbing. Self hosting does not remove OAuth reviews, API limits, Meta app setup, X access rules, or provider specific policy changes. Postiz is best for teams that want ownership of the scheduling stack and are comfortable maintaining app credentials.
