Own Your Workspace, Own Your AI: Self-Hosted Dev Stack with Dobase + NexaAPI

The Self-Hosted Movement Is Real

The appeal of Dobase is simple: your data, your rules. One Rails app, one SQLite database, one Docker container. MIT license. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party data sharing.

Developers who care about owning their server also care about:

• No vendor lock-in
• Transparent pricing
• Pay-per-use (not bloated subscriptions)
• Works with any stack

Sound familiar? That's exactly what NexaAPI offers for AI inference.

Why NexaAPI Is the Self-Hosted Developer's AI Layer

While Dobase gives you the workspace, NexaAPI gives you the AI superpowers — without locking you into a single vendor.

Integrate AI Into Your Self-Hosted Workflow

Python Example

# Install: pip install nexaapi
from nexaapi import NexaAPI

# Perfect for self-hosted workflows — no lock-in, pay per use
client = NexaAPI(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY')

# Generate AI images directly from your own server/workspace
response = client.image.generate(
    model='flux-schnell',  # or any of 56+ models
    prompt='A futuristic self-hosted developer workspace with glowing screens',
    width=1024,
    height=1024
)

print(f'Image URL: {response.url}')
print(f'Cost: ~$0.003 per image — cheapest in the market')

# Save to your own server
import requests
img_data = requests.get(response.url).content
with open('workspace_ai.png', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(img_data)
print('Saved to your local server!')

JavaScript / Node.js Example

// Install: npm install nexaapi
import NexaAPI from 'nexaapi';

// Integrate AI into your self-hosted Node.js workspace
const client = new NexaAPI({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });

async function generateWorkspaceArt() {
  const response = await client.image.generate({
    model: 'flux-schnell',
    prompt: 'A self-hosted developer workspace with AI-powered tools',
    width: 1024,
    height: 1024
  });

  console.log('Image URL:', response.url);
  console.log('Cost: $0.003/image — no subscriptions, no lock-in');
  
  // Download and serve from your own Dobase-style server
  return response.url;
}

generateWorkspaceArt();
