Overview

Dokploy deploys applications (Node.js, PHP, Python, Go, Ruby and others) and Docker Compose stacks to a VPS, with Traefik handling routing and load balancing. It also creates MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, libsql and Redis databases, with scheduled backups to external storage. Multi-node scaling uses Docker Swarm, and remote servers can be managed from one instance. It has no AI-specific features; it is a general hosting layer.

Who it is for: Self-hosters wanting a Heroku/Vercel-style deploy tool on their own VPS
