What you can use it for
Deploy applications and databases from Git or containers to your own servers.
- Covers the core everyday task of Vercel Pro, Netlify Pro and Heroku: deploying web apps from Git to a server you control.
- Creators report running all their Next.js apps on a single VPS with it, describing a Vercel-like workflow, and using it for production apps.
Workflow coverage and comparison notes
Manage containerized Docker applications, databases and automatic Git deployments using open-source Dokploy instead of Platform.sh.
Before you switch
Self-hosted: you install, patch, secure and back up the server; the free software does not include the server. Source is under a custom licence (no standard SPDX id) — check the terms for commercial use. Traefik-based routing and Docker Compose behaviour differ from managed platforms.
Alternatives to these paid apps
Each comparison covers the workflow described above, rather than every paid feature.
