Dokploy

Dokploy is a self-hosted deployment and application management platform designed as an alternative to Heroku and Vercel. It enables developers and teams to deploy containerised applications, databases, and Docker Compose stacks to their own servers, with support for Docker Swarm clustering for multi-server setups.

The platform manages databases — PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, and Redis — with automated backup capabilities, and provides real-time system monitoring and alerts. Deployments can be built using Nixpacks, Heroku Buildpacks, or custom Dockerfiles. Role-based access controls, a pre-built template library for common applications, and both API and CLI access round out the feature set.

Dokploy is aimed at engineers who want the convenience of a platform-as-a-service experience without ceding control of their infrastructure or paying the premium of managed hosting providers.
