Self-hostable PaaS for effortless application and database deployment
Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service that simplifies deploying and managing applications, databases, and Docker containers on your own infrastructure.

Dokploy is a self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS) designed for developers and teams who want the convenience of modern deployment platforms without vendor lock-in. Built with TypeScript and Docker, it transforms any VPS into a powerful application hosting environment.
Deploy applications in any language—Node.js, Python, PHP, Go, Ruby—with native Docker Compose support for complex multi-container setups. Provision and manage MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, and Redis databases with automated backup capabilities to external storage. Scale horizontally across multiple nodes using Docker Swarm orchestration, and deploy pre-configured open-source templates like Plausible, Pocketbase, and Cal.com with one click.
Real-time resource monitoring tracks CPU, memory, storage, and network metrics for every deployment. Traefik integration handles automatic routing and load balancing, while notification channels (Slack, Discord, Telegram, Email) keep teams informed of deployment status. Manage everything through a web interface, CLI, or REST API.
Dokploy suits development teams seeking infrastructure control, agencies managing client applications, and organizations requiring on-premises deployment with modern DevOps workflows.
When teams consider Dokploy, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Agency Client Hosting
Deploy and monitor dozens of client websites and applications from a single Dokploy instance across multiple VPS nodes, with automated backups and per-client resource tracking.
Startup MVP Deployment
Launch a full-stack application with PostgreSQL database, automated SSL, and real-time monitoring in minutes using Docker Compose templates—all on a $20/month VPS.
Internal Tool Infrastructure
Self-host open-source tools like Plausible Analytics and Cal.com for your organization using one-click templates, maintaining data sovereignty and avoiding SaaS subscriptions.
Multi-Region Application Scaling
Distribute application instances across geographic regions using multi-server deployment, with centralized management and Traefik-based load balancing for improved latency.
A VPS running a modern Linux distribution with Docker support. Installation is a single curl command that sets up all dependencies automatically.
Dokploy provides similar deployment simplicity but runs on your own infrastructure, giving you full control, predictable costs, and support for any application type—not just specific frameworks.
Yes, Dokploy has native Docker Compose support, allowing you to import and deploy existing compose configurations directly without modification.
Dokploy automates database backups to external storage destinations on configurable schedules, supporting MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, and Redis.
Yes, Dokploy Cloud is available for users who want the platform without managing infrastructure themselves, though self-hosting remains the primary offering.
