Is it actually a replacement?
We have written a verdict on what it replaces — what you lose, and why people still pay:
How Mixpost runs
Where it runs
Mixpost runs on your server.
Installing it
Docker Compose; manual Laravel installation is also documented.
Where your data lives
Application data lives in MySQL or MariaDB, queues and cache in Redis, and media on local disk or configured S3-compatible storage.
What setup takes
A non-expert needs a server, Docker, a domain with TLS, cron/queue workers, and social-platform application credentials.
The catch compared with Buffer
Mixpost Lite replaces Buffer's managed service with a server you must secure, back up, update, and keep connected to changing social APIs.
