  • Netlify just sent me a $104K bill for a simple static site
    Yeah there are a bunch of selfhostable things: Caprover (https://caprover.com/) Dokku (https://github.com/dokku/dokku. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago
  • The 2024 Web Hosting Report
    The modern iteration of these tools has taken the developer experience learnings from the Platform as a Service (PaaS) category, and will bring them to your own VM, giving you your own personal PaaS. Example of this include Dokku, Coolify, Caprover, Cloud66 and many more! - Source: dev.to / 13 days ago
  • Building a privacy-friendly, self-hosted application architecture with SvelteKit
    For hosting all of the services I am using CapRover. It's a wonderfully simple PaaS (platform-as-a-service) that gives you a Heroku-like interface but runs entirely on a Virtual Private Server you control. For automated deploys, GitHub Actions are used. I've recorded a tutorial on how to get started with and deploy SvelteKit onto this architecture, so do check it out if this sounds interesting to you by clicking... - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago
  • Top 8 Tools to Build Your Own PaaS
    CapRover, a popular open-source PaaS solution, emerged in 2017. Developed using TypeScript, CapRover boasts a user-friendly interface that demands just a few commands to kickstart your journey. Leveraging the power of Docker, CapRover supports the deployment of a wide range of applications with minimal overhead. While CapRover's ease of use sets it apart, its standout feature lies in the built-in marketplace... - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago
  • Questions about Swarm mode
    Not sure which kind of tools you're looking for. I'm using CapRover as Paas which is built on Docker Swarm, supports deploys via Web Hook and has docs for setup on GitHub Actions & GitLab CI: https://caprover.com/docs/ci-cd-integration.html But generally, a couple commands should be enough to do the trick. (docker image push ... && docker stack apply ...). Source: 8 months ago
  • How I published a gratitude journaling app for iOS and Android using SvelteKit and Capacitor
    I used DigitalOcean for hosting a CapRover instance. CapRover is a self-hosted PaaS that runs on a Virtual Private Server. If you are curious about this approach to hosting, I recently did a talk on the Svelte Society YouTube Channel about this architecture. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago
  • What are my 2023 options for deploying a personal project?
    Outside of free tiers, the cheapest option is VPS with a provider such as DigitalOcean/Hetzner, enabled buckups, and CapRover: https://caprover.com/. Source: 9 months ago
  • Where to host app?
    Get yourself a VPS server install CapRover and you're done. https://caprover.com/ its open source. I cant complain been running it without a problem. Source: 9 months ago
  • Simple cost-effective way to deploy multiple docker containers?
    I use a self hosted PaaS https://caprover.com on digitalocean droplet. Source: 10 months ago
  • Is there any Django app deployment tool for VPS-based environments with UI?
    I think https://caprover.com and https://coolify.io are what you want. Both are pretty easy to use and are based on Docker. Source: 10 months ago
  • You didn’t just do that, Heroku
    Https://caprover.com FTW - just host everything yourself. You can host multiple services without any problem on a 5$ VPS nowadays, especially if you using just a simple SSR webapp, some lightweight backend and sqlite db. As soon as your hardware is not keeping up with your demand, you make enough money to scale vertically. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Proxmox Docker Containers Monster – 13000 containers on a single host
    >docker swarm init And just like that you have a cluster to run containers on. I really like the simplicity of Docker Swarm. I've been using it for at least five years and it's just worked. During the COVID lockdown I got tired of having to open a UI (at the time I was using CapRover[0]) to edit any of the services I run so I decided to make my own PaaS with a nice CLI. Connecting to the docker socket is simple... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Any easy to use gui to create/deploy/monitor k8s for a devops newbie?
    But for me caprover is usually more than enough. Source: 11 months ago
  • How can I lock distributed resources in multi-step HTTP requests?
    I'm deploying and load balancing multiple instances of my server with CapRover. Source: 11 months ago

  • How to own your own Docker Registry address
    Been a fan of CapRover for its ability to create a self-hosted private registry at the click of a button, besides swarm/cluster support, and multiple deployment methods. https://caprover.com. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

    Thank you for sharing your process and setup, great read, and learned loads of new stuff! Hadn't heard about https://caprover.com/ before which sounds very handy! Source: about 1 year ago
  • Is self-hosting devops really that hard?
    CapRover is a good Docker Swarm implementation if you want something simpler and don't want to invest time in learning Kubernetes right away. Source: about 1 year ago

External sources with reviews and comparisons of CapRover

Heroku vs self-hosted PaaS
CapRover is in many ways similar to Dokku. It uses Docker for deployment just like Dokku but CapRover does not support buildpack deployments as it uses Dockerfiles only. This is not necessarily a bad thing since Dockerfile deployments are great in Dokku as well. You don’t have to write your own dockerfiles however for simple deployments as there are multiple defaults for popular stacks such as Node.js, PHP and...
