Dokku Alternative is a Docker-powered mini-Heroku PaaS, forked from Dokku, that bundles stable plugins for databases, TLS, zero-downtime deploys, and access control. The project is no longer actively maintained and users are advised to migrate to upstream Dokku.

Use cases

• self-host a mini-heroku style paas on a single vm
• deploy apps via git push to my own server
• run a small paas with built-in postgres and redis plugins
• get zero-downtime deploys on a cheap vps
• host docker apps with ssl and domains without kubernetes

When to choose

• you are studying paas internals or maintaining a legacy dokku-alt deployment
• you need a historical fork of dokku with bundled plugins for reference

When to avoid

• starting any new project - use upstream dokku instead
• you need security updates or active community support
• you are not on Ubuntu 14.04-era systems
