CapRover
Scalable, Free and Self-hosted PaaS!

CapRover is a self-hosted Platform-as-a-Service that simplifies deploying and managing web applications and databases on your own server. It uses Docker, Nginx, Let's Encrypt, and NetData under the hood, exposing them through an easy-to-use web GUI and CLI. Developers can deploy apps in any language with free SSL, one-click database installs, and cluster support at a fraction of the cost of managed platforms like Heroku.
CapRover runs on your own server and wraps Docker Swarm, Nginx, and Let's Encrypt into a simple web dashboard and CLI, enabling one-click app and database deployment with automatic SSL.
