## What it is
Vito is a free, self-hosted web application for managing servers and deploying PHP applications like Laravel to production. It provides a control panel for provisioning, database management, SSL, firewalls, cron jobs, and SSH keys.

## Use cases
- deploy laravel apps to a vps without a hassle
- self-hosted alternative to forge or ploi
- manage mysql and mariadb databases on my server
- set up letsencrypt ssl for my domains
- manage cron jobs and queues with supervisor
- provision and manage servers from a web panel
- manage server firewall and ssh keys

## When to choose
- you deploy PHP/Laravel applications and want a free self-hosted control panel
- you want an open-source alternative to Laravel Forge or Ploi
- you need server provisioning, database, SSL, and cron management in one web UI

## When to avoid
- you only deploy non-PHP stacks like Node, Go, or Python
- you prefer infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Ansible
- you need managed or cloud-hosted service rather than self-hosting the panel
