Dokku — open source alternative

Self-hosted mini-Heroku on a single server.

Strengths

  • Deploy via git push, just like Heroku.
  • Works on any Linux VPS.
  • Plugin ecosystem for databases, SSL, etc.

Weaknesses

  • Single-host — limited scaling story.
  • Requires Linux sysadmin comfort.
  • UI is CLI-first.
