About CapRover
CapRover is a free, open source platform for deploying and managing apps on your own servers. It is built on Docker and nginx, and it handles building, routing and HTTPS for each app.
What it does
You can deploy from a dashboard, a CLI, a webhook or an existing Git workflow. CapRover manages ports, persistent directories, environment variables and instance counts from one place. It also offers one-click installs for databases and other popular services, and it can add nodes to a Docker Swarm cluster.
Key features
- Deploy from the dashboard, CLI, webhook or Git
- One-click installs for databases and services
- Automatic HTTPS with Let's Encrypt certificates
- Manage ports, volumes, variables and instance counts
- Add nodes to a Docker Swarm cluster
Who it's for
CapRover suits developers who run their own servers and want a simple control panel without learning every Docker and nginx detail. It also fits people who plan to scale across a Swarm cluster later.
Pricing and good to know
The project is free and open source, and the site says it has no vendor lock-in. The team asks for donations through OpenCollective to fund ongoing development. You are responsible for the servers CapRover runs on.
