Social Media Automation | PostIZ
TL;DR
Setup PostIZ and forget about loosing time with social media posts.
Focus on creating.
Intro
We can create a lot supported by AI.
But the more content gets created, the harder to get the attention of people who might be interested into such content.
Apps like PostIZ, n8n or growthchief…

PostIZ
Postiz helps you to manage all your social media accounts.
📨 The ultimate social media scheduling tool, with a bunch of AI 🤖 and Apache 2.0!
I got working PostIZ recently, together with Traefik, both as containers and locally accesible: https://postiz.jalcocertech.com/launches
- https://docs.postiz.com/reverse-proxies/traefik
- You could also install it as part of Coolify or similar PaaS, like Dokploy: https://coolify.io/docs/services/postiz
We can also use PostIZ via cloudflare tunnels: postiz:5000
git clone https://github.com/JAlcocerT/Home-Lab && cd postiz
cp .env.sample .env
#JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
cat <<EOL >> .env
JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
EOL
docker compose up -d
Once ready, go to https://postiz.jalcocertech.com/settings
And play around with PostIZ’s API: https://docs.postiz.com/public-api
And also the MCP integration.
PostIZ x n8n
Positz x MCP
Aware of the power of MCP already?
You will get something like:
https://postiz.jalcocertech.com/api/mcp/some_id_here/sse
Then, just tweak it to be:
docker run -p 3084:3084 --env-file .env --rm -it oculair/postiz-mcp:latest
{
"mcpServers": {
"postiz": {
"url": "http://localhost:3084/sse",
"disabled": false,
"alwaysAllow": []
}
}
}
