Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS) that simplifies deploying and managing applications and databases on your own VPS, serving as an open-source alternative to Vercel, Netlify, and Heroku. It supports multiple build strategies, Docker Compose, Docker Swarm multi-node clusters, database management with automated backups, Traefik-based routing, real-time monitoring, and enterprise features like SSO, RBAC, and audit logs.
Use cases
- self-host a heroku alternative on my vps
- deploy apps from github to my own server
- manage postgres and mysql databases with automated backups
- deploy docker compose stacks with a web ui
- set up multi-server deployments with docker swarm
- give my team role-based access to deployments
- deploy ai-generated apps without vendor lock-in
When to choose
- you want a free, self-hosted PaaS on your own VPS with no vendor lock-in
- you need to deploy apps in many languages plus managed databases and backups in one platform
- you want Docker Compose and Docker Swarm cluster support with Traefik routing built in
- you need enterprise features like SSO, SCIM, RBAC, and audit logs on a self-hosted platform
When to avoid
- you want fully managed hosting with zero infrastructure to maintain (use Dokploy Cloud or a commercial PaaS)
- you need serverless functions or edge deployment like Vercel/Netlify offer
- you only deploy static sites and don't need databases or container orchestration
- you require a permissively licensed open-source project (license is non-standard)
