Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service that simplifies deploying and managing applications and databases on your own infrastructure. Run it on any VPS and get the developer experience of Vercel or Heroku — without the vendor lock-in or per-seat pricing.

Quickstart

Deploy your first application in minutes with the one-line install script.

Self-Hosting

Requirements, supported OS, and production configuration for your VPS.

Applications

Deploy Node.js, PHP, Python, Go, Ruby, and more from Git or Docker.

Databases

Spin up PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, MariaDB, and libsql instantly.

Docker Compose

Native Docker Compose support for complex multi-container applications.

API Reference

Manage every resource programmatically with the full REST API.

​
What is Dokploy?

Dokploy turns your VPS into a fully-featured deployment platform. Install it once with a single curl command, then use the web dashboard or REST API to:
  • Deploy applications from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, or Docker images
  • Manage databases with built-in support for six database engines
  • Run Docker Compose stacks natively without extra tooling
  • Automate backups to S3-compatible storage on a schedule
  • Scale horizontally across multiple servers using Docker Swarm
  • Monitor resources with real-time CPU, memory, storage, and network metrics
