  1. dokploy

    Open Source Alternative to Vercel, Netlify and Heroku.

    I wouldn't consider this open source, the license [1] appears to put very non-open terms on the use, modification and distribution of the project.

  3. Dokku

    A docker-powered PaaS that helps you build and manage the lifecycle of applications

    Would be great to see a comparison to some better known alternatives like

    - Dokku [0]

    - CapRover [1]

    [0] https://dokku.com/

    [1] https://caprover.com/

  4. piku

    The tiniest PaaS you've ever seen. Piku allows you to do git push deployments to your own servers.

    I should add one to https://piku.github.io (spoiler - this doesn't use Docker at all)

  5. coolify

    An open-source & self-hostable Heroku / Netlify / Vercel alternative.

  6. kubevela

    The Modern Application Platform.

  7. porter

    Discontinued Kubernetes powered PaaS that runs in your own cloud.

    There's Porter, the "Kubernetes powered PaaS that runs in your own cloud".

    https://github.com/porter-dev/porter

  8. docs

    Discontinued Dokploy documentation (by Dokploy)

  9. SurveyJS
