What is Dokploy?
Dokploy is an open-source deployment platform that its documentation positions as an alternative to Heroku, Vercel and Netlify. It is built on Docker and Traefik and is free to self-host. The project README describes native support for Docker Compose, multi-node scaling with Docker Swarm, one-click templates for open-source apps, and automatic Traefik integration for routing and load balancing.
The documentation covers applications, databases, Docker Compose, auto deploy, scheduled jobs, volume backups, watch paths and remote servers. The README also lists log and metric shipping to tools such as Grafana.
Self-hosting starts with a single install script. If you prefer not to run the control plane, Dokploy Cloud is priced per server, from $4.50 per month per server, with a 7-day free trial on the pricing page.
