About Dokploy
Dokploy is a self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS) that is used to deploy and manage applications and databases. The project is hosted as a GitHub repository, and its README describes it as free and self-hostable. It is installed on a VPS by running a shell script. The homepage also mentions a hosted option, Dokploy Cloud, as a way to skip the installation process.
The platform can deploy many application types, including Node.js, PHP, Python, Go, and Ruby. It supports several database engines, scheduled database backups to an external storage destination, Docker Compose, and Docker Swarm for multi-node scaling. It also provides real-time resource monitoring, a CLI and API, and deployment notifications through services such as Slack, Discord, Telegram, and email. Pricing for Dokploy and Dokploy Cloud is not stated in the source. The repository contains both LICENSE.MD and LICENSE_PROPRIETARY.md files, and the source does not explain how these apply to different parts of the project.
