About
CapRover is a self-hosted platform as a service for deploying and managing web applications and databases on Docker. It provides a web dashboard and CLI for app deployment, SSL setup with Let's Encrypt, Nginx-based routing, Docker Swarm clustering, and one-click installs for services such as MySQL, MongoDB, Postgres, and WordPress.
The product is aimed at developers who want to run applications on their own server without managing low-level server setup, while still keeping direct control over Docker, Nginx, and custom configuration. The documentation notes support for multiple languages and frameworks, deployment from source, GitHub, GitLab, webhooks, and git push, plus optional clustering and custom Nginx settings.
