Visit Dokku
What is Dokku?
Dokku is an open-source, self-hosted platform-as-a-service that runs on a single Linux server.
Who is it for?
Developers and small teams comfortable administering a VPS who want Heroku-style deploys for side projects, internal tools and staging environments.
What are the alternatives to Dokku?
Coolify is the other self-hosted option, driven by a web UI rather than a CLI. Heroku, Render, Railway, Fly.io and Northflank are hosted platforms that run and scale the infrastructure for you.
