Bolt.diy setup: build a shop on a Hostinger VPS

This sponsored tutorial uses Bolt.diy on a Hostinger VPS to build an online store for a handloom business taking orders through Instagram messages. The speaker installs the open source browser coding assistant through Docker Manager on an Ubuntu server with two cores and 8 GB of RAM. The setup uses a provider API key; Ollama appears as an option for local models, but this demonstration does not run models locally.

The build starts with a mobile storefront and editable product data, then adds checkout and a backend that saves orders. A password-protected order desk checks for new orders every 10 seconds and plays a sound when one arrives. An AI listing writer turns rough notes into editable descriptions, with its API key kept on the server. The speaker also enables HTTPS before entering credentials.

Failures get attention too. The speaker reports retired models in the dropdown and an oversized prompt that cost $2.60 without producing files. A smaller backend request reportedly succeeded for one cent. Testing exposes orders that disappear after a refresh, prompting the persistence work.

The final deployment keeps the orders folder outside the container, and the speaker reports that orders survive a restart. For client work, he recommends replacing file storage and the shared password with a database and individual accounts, plus backups, live updates and staging before deployment.
