CapRover : Dumb name, awesome tool

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • CapRover

    Scalable PaaS (automated Docker+nginx) - aka Heroku on Steroids

  • Finally, I kinda wonder if CapRover is still alive. As I write this it has been over 60 days since there has been any activity on their GitHub.

  • docker

    Docker - the open-source application container engine (by microsoft)

  • CapRover is an open source platform as a service. Send your code and it'll run it with docker and proxy it with nginx. I found it to be one of those great open source projects that just worked for me. No weird hacks or gotchas.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

    Hugo Quick Start on Render

  • Render.com raised their prices last year. Their "Starter" instance type (512 MB / 0.5 CPU) is $7 per month. The next step up is their "Standard" instance type (2 GB / 1 CPU) which increased to $25 per month. Most of the services I manage are too big for a 512MB instance and to small for the 2Gb instance. If you're up for a laugh go check on the pricing of their 4GB and above instances. Current pricing is here. On render.com you can only run one app (container) per service so there isn't a way to leverage extra capacity either.

  • website

    Let's Encrypt Website and Documentation (by letsencrypt)

  • Let's Encrypt. CapRover automatically configures each service with nginx. SSL certificates (on multiple domains too) are just the click of a button.
