Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Coolify.
CapRover
Self-hosted platform-as-a-service built on Docker and Nginx.
CapRover is also Apache-2.0 and self-hosted with automatic certificates and a one-click store, but it is built around Docker Swarm and single-server setups lack high availability.
Dokku
Minimal Docker-powered platform-as-a-service for a single server.
Dokku is an MIT-licensed git push platform for one server, driven from the command line with plugins for databases and certificates instead of a web interface.
