About Dokploy
Dokploy is an open source platform for deploying containerized apps and databases on servers you control. It can manage deployments across several machines from one place.
What it does
Dokploy deploys apps with Nixpacks, Heroku-style buildpacks or your own Dockerfile. It supports Docker Compose, Docker Swarm clusters and remote servers, and it can back up MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB and Redis. The site also lists templates for tools such as Supabase and PocketBase.
Key features
- Deploy with Nixpacks, buildpacks or a Dockerfile
- Docker Compose support for multi-container apps
- Deploy to several remote servers
- Database backups for common engines
- API and CLI access for custom tooling
Who it's for
Dokploy suits developers and small teams who want self-hosted deployments and are comfortable running servers. It also fits teams that need several users with different permission levels.
Pricing and good to know
The project is open source and can be installed with a single shell command. The site also lists a 7-day free trial with no credit card needed. Running your own servers means you are responsible for their updates and backups.
