Dokku
Free, open-source (MIT) Heroku-style PaaS for your own server.
Dev Hosting
What you get
A self-hosted, Heroku-style platform: git push to deploy with buildpacks or Dockerfiles, nginx routing, background processes and cron.
How to get it
Run the install script from dokku.com on an Ubuntu or Debian server.
What it requires
A server with Ubuntu 22.04+ or Debian 11+ and at least 1GB RAM (or swap).
The catch
Single-server by default and fully self-managed; some extras are in the paid Dokku Pro.
