The open-source PaaS with 55,000+ GitHub stars and the largest one-click service catalog in its class — Coolify gives you the Vercel push-to-deploy workflow on a dedicated server you control. Connect a GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea repository and every push builds and deploys automatically via Nixpacks, a Dockerfile, or Docker Compose, with Traefik or Caddy reverse proxying, automatic Let's Encrypt certificates, and per-branch preview deployments with their own URLs. Databases — PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis — provision in a few clicks, and a catalog of 280+ one-click service templates covers WordPress, n8n, Grafana, MinIO, Plausible, Ollama, and more. One dashboard manages the entire server, with Docker Swarm available for clustering multiple nodes. Backups go to any S3-compatible storage with one-click restore, and a full API supports CI/CD integration. All configuration lives on your own server, so resources keep running even if you stop using Coolify — no vendor lock-in by design. Running on a dedicated VPS with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root access via SSH and browser console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

Your own Heroku or Vercel on a dedicated server — Dokploy is the open-source PaaS that replaces cloud platform subscriptions with a single dashboard you control. Point it at a Git repository or a Docker image, and it builds and deploys the application using Dockerfiles, Nixpacks, or Heroku/Paketo buildpacks. Traefik handles reverse proxying, routing, load balancing, automatic Let's Encrypt SSL, and HTTP/3. Databases — MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, libsql, and Redis — provision from the UI with automated backups to any S3-compatible destination. Complex multi-service applications deploy through native Docker Compose support, and multi-node scaling uses Docker Swarm. The web dashboard covers environment variables, volumes, resource limits, real-time CPU/memory/network monitoring, and deployment logs, with a CLI and REST API for automation. Deploy notifications go to Slack, Discord, Telegram, or email. One-click templates install common open-source tools, and a single control plane can manage deployments across multiple remote servers. Because everything is standard Docker, there is no lock-in: Dockerfiles, Compose files, and data volumes work anywhere else Docker runs. The push-to-deploy workflow of a $20/seat cloud PaaS, running on a dedicated VPS with guaranteed CPU, RAM, SSD, and full root access — no per-app, per-environment, or per-seat fees regardless of how many applications you deploy. 26,000+ GitHub stars.

Point Openship at a GitHub repo, local folder, or prebuilt artifact and it detects your stack, builds a Docker container, provisions databases, configures domains with automatic Let's Encrypt TLS, and routes traffic through an OpenResty edge layer on ports 80 and 443. Already past 10,000 stars since launching in March 2026, it turns any Linux VPS into a managed application host. Language support covers Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, Java, .NET, Docker, and monorepo projects with push-to-deploy CI/CD, pull request preview environments on unique subdomains, staging/production flows, and one-click rollbacks. Integrated backend services include managed Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, persistent volumes, WebSocket proxying, object storage, and worker processes, all provisioned from the dashboard without compose files. A built-in SMTP server handles transactional email with automatic DKIM, SPF, and DMARC configuration, eliminating external email services. The edge layer serves HTTP/3 with Brotli compression, configurable cache rules, and instant purging. Real-time monitoring streams build logs, container metrics, visitor geography, and per-status-code analytics at 1.4 microsecond overhead with zero database writes. Scheduled backups cover databases and volumes with one-click restore and export. Three interfaces (web dashboard, desktop app for macOS/Windows/Linux, and the openship CLI) drive the same API, plus a Model Context Protocol endpoint for AI integration. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

Zeabur is a self-hosted web platform that deploys and runs your services on your own Kubernetes cluster, presenting the cluster as simple projects and services instead of raw manifests. Every change starts as a readable plan listing the exact fields it will write and who owns them today, and nothing is applied until you confirm it. When something breaks, Zeabur says so in plain words and points at the fix: a worker that restarted fourteen times gets a button straight to the logs from the run before the restart. You deploy from Git repositories, from an uploaded folder or ZIP archive, or directly in the dashboard, then follow live logs, open a terminal inside a container, and watch CPU and memory move over time. Projects are namespaces and all state lives in Kubernetes objects, so there is no Zeabur database to back up, and uninstalling the platform leaves your Deployments, Services, and Ingresses running untouched. Companion pieces add passkey sign-in for kubectl with tokens that expire in minutes, image builds from Git through a BuildKit operator, and a catalog of cluster components and app templates. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.

Scatter a few cheap VPS boxes, a home server, and one bare metal machine across three different providers, and Uncloud still treats them as a single place to run your applications. You describe services in ordinary Docker Compose files, deploy them with the uc command line tool, and publish any container port as a public HTTPS endpoint in a single command. Every machine joins an encrypted WireGuard mesh with its own container IP addresses, so services on different continents reach each other directly without VPN configuration or exposed ports. A built-in DNS server resolves service names to container IPs, and the integrated Caddy reverse proxy provisions and renews Let's Encrypt certificates automatically, sharing them across the cluster. Rolling updates replace containers with zero downtime, persistent Docker volumes keep stateful services safe, and the Unregistry integration pushes image layers straight to your machines when no registry is available. There is no control plane to babysit: each machine keeps a synchronised copy of the cluster state, and SSH access to any single node is enough to manage the whole fleet. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.

With over 32,000 GitHub stars and a decade of production use since 2013, Dokku is the original self-hosted Heroku alternative — a Docker-powered PaaS that turns any single Ubuntu server into a full application platform with a simple git push. Deploy applications written in Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, Java, PHP, Scala, and Clojure using Heroku-compatible buildpacks, Cloud Native Buildpacks via pack-cli, standard Dockerfiles, or pre-built Docker images, with automatic language and framework detection handling the rest. Every deployment runs through zero-downtime checks that health-test new containers before routing traffic via the built-in Nginx reverse proxy, which handles virtual host configuration, WebSocket proxying, and HTTP/2 support automatically. The official plugin ecosystem provides managed datastores including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, and Elasticsearch, each provisioned with a single CLI command and linked to apps via environment variables. Automated TLS certificates arrive through the Let's Encrypt plugin with auto-renewal, while persistent storage volumes, cron job scheduling, user ACL management, and process scaling round out the platform capabilities. The entire system is CLI-driven — no web dashboard — keeping resource overhead minimal enough to run multiple applications on a $5/month VPS. Dokku also supports Lambda function builds, custom builder plugins, and app.json-based healthcheck configuration for advanced deployment workflows. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

OpenLLM serves any large language model as an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint from a single CLI command, handling model download, backend selection, quantization, and port binding automatically. It supports the full spectrum of popular models including Llama 3.3, Qwen2.5, DeepSeek, Mistral, and Phi3, choosing between vLLM and PyTorch inference backends based on hardware capabilities. When vLLM is available, continuous batching with PagedAttention achieves up to 23x throughput improvement over naive serving, while GPTQ and bitsandbytes quantization reduces memory requirements for GPU-constrained deployments. The server exposes a RESTful API on port 3000 with full OpenAI client library compatibility, enabling drop-in replacement for commercial providers in any application using the standard chat completions format. A built-in web chat UI at the /chat endpoint provides immediate interactive testing without external clients.

Komodo puts every server, container, and deployment pipeline behind a single dashboard where you build, ship, and monitor Docker workloads across unlimited hosts. Lightweight stateless agents install on each connected server and report CPU, memory, and disk metrics back to the Rust-powered core, giving you real-time visibility without heavyweight monitoring stacks. Docker Compose stacks deploy directly from the UI or link to Git repositories with webhook-triggered automatic redeploys on push. A built-in CI pipeline compiles versioned Docker images from source, with optional AWS spot instances for burst build capacity. For orchestration at scale, Docker Swarm management handles node configuration, service deployment, and multi-node stack orchestration from the same control plane. Browser terminal sessions open persistent named shells on servers and inside containers, complete with shared team access and scriptable Actions that chain executions into multi-stage procedures. Infrastructure-as-code support defines all resources declaratively in TOML files within a Git repository, keeping production state version-controlled and auditable. Granular role-based access control with user groups, per-resource permissions, and OAuth through GitHub and Google keeps teams operating within defined boundaries. A full OpenAPI specification, dedicated CLI, and typesafe client libraries for Rust and TypeScript make programmatic integration straightforward. With 12,000+ stars and active development, the community continues expanding multi-architecture builds and Swarm tooling.

Created by the developer behind Uptime Kuma and carrying over 23,000 GitHub stars, Dockge brings the same clean, reactive design philosophy to Docker Compose stack management with a web interface that makes Portainer's compose handling feel like editing YAML in a terminal over SSH. The interactive editor provides syntax highlighting, inline validation, and a live preview of your compose.yaml files while keeping every stack stored as a standard file on disk in /opt/stacks by default, meaning you can seamlessly switch between the web UI and the docker compose CLI without lock-in or proprietary database formats. Real-time WebSocket updates stream pull progress, container start/stop transitions, and build output directly to the browser with no polling delays. The built-in web terminal opens a shell session inside any running container for quick debugging, while the docker-run-to-compose converter transforms single-container run commands into proper compose.yaml definitions with one click. Multi-agent support introduced in version 1.4.0 connects multiple Docker hosts to a single Dockge dashboard, enabling centralized management of stacks distributed across different servers. Image update detection shows which stacks have newer versions available, and one-click updates pull the latest images and recreate containers without manual intervention. The stack is a single Docker container running on Node.js with Socket.IO for reactivity and stores no external database.

Push to git, watch the deploy go live over HTTPS, and roll back in one click, all on servers you own: Levelrail is a self-hosted platform for running apps and databases without Kubernetes. Deploys start from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea webhooks and build from a Dockerfile, Compose file, image, or framework preset such as Next.js, Go, React, or Spring Boot, with preview environments per pull request, canary and blue-green rollouts, approvals, and freezes. Embedded Caddy gives every app a domain with HTTPS: self-signed by default, Let's Encrypt with one toggle, a free sslip.io address when no domain exists, or your own uploaded certificate. Provision Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, ClickHouse, and more with scheduled backups that are re-downloaded and verified, Postgres point-in-time recovery, and password rotation. Metrics with deploy markers, searchable live logs, alerts, and a public status page need no separate monitoring stack. Roughly 360 one-click templates and a Cmd+K search across apps, databases, and nodes speed up daily work. Extra servers enroll with a one-time token and a reverse-dialed agent that needs no inbound ports. Sign in with passkeys, TOTP, OAuth from 20 providers, or OIDC, then scope access with IAM policies, encrypted secrets, and a tamper-evident audit log. A CLI, HTTP API, and MCP server let scripts and coding agents deploy and roll back.
