CapRover

CapRover is an open-source, self-hosted Platform-as-a-Service that automates deployment of web applications and services using Docker. It provides a Heroku-like workflow (Git push, image deployment), application templates, one-click apps (databases, caches), and a lightweight dashboard.

Key characteristics:

• Self-hosted — you run CapRover on your own server or cloud VM.
• Docker native — applications run as containers managed by CapRover.
• Simple deployments via Git, CLI, or Docker images.
• SSL automation via Let’s Encrypt.
• Built-in load balancing, service discovery, and networking.
• Plugin ecosystem for common services (PostgreSQL, Redis, etc.).
• No managed infrastructure — infrastructure provisioning and maintenance are your responsibility.

CapRover is suitable for teams wanting a PaaS experience without cloud vendor lock-in, or for internal/private cloud environments where lightweight deployment automation is needed.
