The major addition is a new SDK (npm i twenty-sdk) that lets developers define data models, custom objects, workflows, layouts, and widgets in code within their own repos. It ships with built-in AI chat, custom agents, serverless functions, full layout and navigation customization, and remains self-hostable. The goal is to give teams a CRM they fully own and can build on top of, without vendor lock-in. 79 4 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/i-d-do-these-5-things-differently-if-i-started-self-hosting-llms-today-4cf4ueqvi "I’d do these 5 things differently if I started self-hosting LLMs today") Article XDA Developers · 21w I’d do these 5 things differently if I started self-hosting LLMs today Lessons learned from months of self-hosting LLMs distilled into five practical changes: adopting Docker-only deployment for stability, documenting every configuration detail from the start, building agent-first infrastructure with tools like AgenticSeek and n8n instead of just chat interfaces, avoiding model hoarding by keeping only a few reliable models, and focusing on workflow integration so the LLM is embedded in daily work rather than a separate destination. 55 4 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/this-s3-alternative-is-insanely-lightweight-and-100-open-source--z86y6d6dj "This S3 Alternative is INSANELY Lightweight (and 100% open source)") Video DevOps Toolbox · 23w This S3 Alternative is INSANELY Lightweight (and 100% open source) A hands-on walkthrough of replacing AWS S3 with RustFS, an open-source, S3-compatible object storage solution written in Rust. Covers Docker Compose deployment, bucket creation, access key management, remote access via Caddy reverse proxy and DNS, pre-signed URLs, IAM-style policies, tiered storage, and integrating Restic for encrypted periodic backups. Benchmarks show RustFS outperforms MinIO for small-file workloads. The Apache 2 license is discussed as a safe choice for commercial and private use. Motivated by real-world cost savings — one team saved $1.5M/year by leaving S3. 47 4. 4 [](https://daily.dev/posts/i-replaced-portainer-grafana-and-prometheus-with-this-stack-zqh9rvadg "I replaced Portainer, Grafana, and Prometheus with this stack") Article XDA Developers · 24w I replaced Portainer, Grafana, and Prometheus with this stack A home lab enthusiast shares their switch from Portainer, Grafana, and Prometheus to a lighter trio: Dockhand for container management, Beszel for system monitoring, and Glance for a unified dashboard. The new stack uses fewer resources, offers better visuals out of the box, and is more beginner-friendly for small-scale self-hosted setups on low-end hardware like Raspberry Pi or mini PCs. 47 5. 5 [](https://daily.dev/posts/self-host-weekly-24-april-2026--mjtijllbf "Self-Host Weekly (24 April 2026)") Article selfh.st · 21w Self-Host Weekly (24 April 2026) A weekly self-hosting newsletter covering notable events from the week of April 24, 2026\.
