Open-source Self-Hosted AI Vibe Coding Platform – Libra AI

Open source alternative to V0 and Lovable. Build web apps with AI, deploy on Cloudflare Workers, maintain full control.

Libra AI is an open-source AI-native vibe-coding tool that enables you to build, iterate, and deploy web applications using natural language.

It’s built for the Cloudflare Workers ecosystem and positions itself as a direct alternative to popular vibe coding platforms like Vercel’s V0, Lovable, and Bolt.new, but with complete source code transparency and self-hosting capabilities.

Features

  • Multi-Model AI Integration: Supports Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, and other major AI models with intelligent context awareness and best practice adherence.
  • Integrated Cloud IDE: Features syntax highlighting, smart indentation, custom plugins, and Hot Module Replacement (HMR) for real-time preview during development.
  • Full-Stack Architecture: Built entirely on Cloudflare’s infrastructure using Workers, Durable Objects, D1 database, R2 storage, and other edge computing services.
  • Production Deployment Pipeline: Automated deployment to Cloudflare Workers with elastic scaling, TLS/SSL certificate management, and Git version control with one-click rollback.
  • Sandbox Environment Support: Integrates with E2B and Daytona for secure code execution and testing during the development process.
  • GitHub Integration: Provides one-way sync with GitHub repositories for version control and collaboration.
  • Enterprise Authentication: OAuth 2.0 multi-provider system with Stripe subscription management for commercial deployments.

How To Use It (Self-Hosting)

1. Clone the repository from GitHub and install the dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/nextify-limited/libra.git
cd libra
bun install

2. Create your own environment file by copying the example file.

cp .env.example .env

3. Add your API keys for services like OpenAI, Anthropic, and your GitHub OAuth application credentials.

4. Libra uses two databases. The main one is PostgreSQL, and the authentication system uses a D1 SQLite database. You’ll need to run migrations to set them up.

For PostgreSQL:

cd packages/db
bun db:generate
bun db:migrate

For the D1 authentication database:

cd packages/auth
bun db:generate
bun db:migrate

5. Start all the local services. The main application will be running at http://localhost:3000, and other services like the email previewer and auth management studio will be on different ports.

  • Email Preview (email): http://localhost:3001
  • Authentication Management (auth-studio): http://localhost:3002
  • Technical Documentation (docs): http://localhost:3003
  • CDN Service (cdn): http://localhost:3004
  • Build Service (builder): http://localhost:5173 (Vite default port)
  • Template Service (vite-shadcn-template): http://localhost:5173 (Vite default port, may conflict with builder)
  • Routing Service (dispatcher): http://localhost:3007
  • Deployment Service V2 (deploy): http://localhost:3008
  • Screenshot Service (screenshot): http://localhost:3009
  • Deployment Service V1 (deploy-workflow, deprecated): http://localhost:3008 (shares port with Deployment Service V2)
bun dev

Pros

  • Complete Source Access: Full codebase transparency allows deep customization, security auditing, and feature extensions that proprietary platforms cannot offer.
  • No Vendor Lock-in: Self-hosting capabilities mean your development workflow remains under your control, avoiding subscription dependencies or platform shutdowns.
  • Cloudflare Native Architecture: Built specifically for Cloudflare’s edge computing ecosystem, providing superior performance and integration compared to generic platforms.
  • Production-Grade Output: Generated code follows modern React patterns, includes TypeScript support, and implements accessibility standards through Radix UI components.
  • Multi-Provider AI Support: Freedom to choose between different AI models based on cost, performance, or specific capabilities rather than being locked to a single provider.
  • Enterprise-Ready Features: Built-in authentication, subscription management, and deployment pipelines suitable for commercial applications without additional third-party integrations.

Cons

  • Cloudflare Dependency: Currently supports only Cloudflare Workers deployment, limiting flexibility for teams using other cloud providers or hybrid infrastructure.
  • Setup Complexity: Self-hosting requires significant technical expertise, including knowledge of Cloudflare services, database management, and microservices architecture.
  • Resource Requirements: Running the full development environment locally requires substantial system resources due to multiple concurrent services and sandbox environments.
  • Limited Template Variety: While the platform supports custom development, it currently offers fewer pre-built templates compared to more established competitors.

FAQs

Q: How is Libra AI different from Vercel’s V0?
A: The main difference is the underlying platform and the degree of openness. V0 is deeply integrated into the Vercel ecosystem. Libra AI is built specifically for the Cloudflare ecosystem and is fully open-source, which means you can host and modify it yourself.

Q: Is the open-source version of Libra AI fully featured?
A: Yes, the open-source version contains the core functional architecture of the platform. The project states it follows a “99% features open source” principle, with only a small fraction reserved for commercial services.

Q: Can I use the code generated by the AI in commercial projects?
A: Yes, the code generated is production-grade and can be used for commercial projects. However, if you use the open-source version of Libra AI itself to provide a service over a network, you must comply with the AGPL-3.0 license, which requires you to open-source your modifications. Commercial licenses are available for closed-source deployments.
