Caprover Has a Free Self-Hosting Platform — Deploy Apps with One Click from a Web UI

CapRover is a self-hosted PaaS with a web UI — deploy Docker apps, databases, and WordPress-type apps with one click.

What You Get for Free

• Web dashboard — manage apps, domains, and deploys from browser
• One-click apps — WordPress, Ghost, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and 100+ more
• Git deploy — push to deploy, like Heroku
• Docker native — deploy any Docker image or Dockerfile
• SSL automatic — Let's Encrypt for all apps
• Load balancing — built-in Nginx with auto-config
• Persistent storage — volumes for databases and files
• Cluster mode — add servers for horizontal scaling
• Webhooks — CI/CD via webhook triggers

Quick Start

# On your VPS (Ubuntu)
docker run -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 3000:3000 \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  -v /captain:/captain \
  caprover/caprover

Open http://your-server:3000 → Set password → Add custom domain → Start deploying.

Why Developers Switch from Manual Docker Compose

Managing docker-compose on VPS requires SSH and terminal skills:

• Web UI — deploy, scale, and monitor from browser
• One-click installs — databases, CMSs, tools in seconds
• SSL automatic — no certbot configuration
• No SSH needed — manage everything through dashboard

A freelancer managed 8 client sites with separate docker-compose files on 3 VPS. After CapRover: one dashboard, all sites, one-click SSL, clients can see their app status.
