Any SSH-accessible Linux box - VPS, bare metal, Raspberry Pi, EC2 - becomes a Heroku-like deployment environment under Coolify, an open-source, self-hostable platform-as-a-service. Connect a GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea repository and every push builds and deploys automatically via Nixpacks, a Dockerfile, or Docker Compose, with Traefik reverse proxying, automatic Let's Encrypt certificates, and per-branch preview deployments with their own URLs. Databases - PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis - provision in a few clicks, and a catalog of 280+ one-click service templates covers WordPress, n8n, Grafana, MinIO, Plausible, and more, replacing an afternoon of Compose YAML with a two-minute operation. One dashboard manages multiple servers, with Docker Swarm available for clustering. Backups go to any S3-compatible storage with one-click restore, a browser terminal gives real-time server access, and a full API supports CI/CD integration. All configuration lives on your own servers, so resources keep running even without Coolify. Apache 2.0 licensed.

Your own Heroku or Vercel on a single server - Dokploy is the open-source, self-hosted Platform-as-a-Service that makes the swap. You point it at a Git repository or a Docker image, and it builds and deploys the application using Dockerfiles, Nixpacks, or Heroku/Paketo buildpacks. Traefik is integrated as the reverse proxy, handling routing, load balancing, automatic Let's Encrypt SSL certificates, and HTTP/3. It also provisions and manages databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, Redis) with automated backups to external storage. Complex multi-service applications deploy through native Docker Compose support, and multi-node scaling uses Docker Swarm. The web UI covers environment variables, volumes, resource limits, real-time CPU/memory/network monitoring, and deployment logs, with a CLI and API for automation. Deployment notifications go to Slack, Discord, Telegram, or email. One-click templates install common open-source tools, and a single Dokploy control plane can manage deployments across multiple remote servers. Because everything is standard Docker under the hood, there is no lock-in: your Dockerfiles, Compose files, and data volumes work anywhere else Docker runs. You get the Heroku-style push-to-deploy workflow without operating a Kubernetes cluster, and the total cost is the server it runs on - no per-app, per-environment, or per-seat platform fees regardless of how many applications you deploy.

ShareX and file uploads, next generation: Zipline is a Node.js/React/PostgreSQL server that turns screenshot sharing and file hosting into something you run yourself instead of renting from Imgur or a paid image host. The core workflow is built around ShareX: generate an .sxcu config from your account settings, import it, and every screenshot or clipboard capture uploads to your domain with a short link copied automatically. Uploads accept any file type, organized with folders and tags, with token-protected uploading, optional password protection, view-limited auto-deletion, image compression, metadata stripping, automatic video thumbnails, and chunked/partial uploads for large files. File URLs come in configurable formats - UUIDs, dates, random alphanumerics, original names, even zero-width spaces. A built-in URL shortener adds vanity slugs, passwords, view caps, and custom domains. Discord embeds are first-class: customize OG metadata titles, descriptions, and colors so links unfurl exactly how you want, and fire fully customizable Discord or HTTP webhooks on each upload. Authentication is serious: OAuth2 (Discord, GitHub, Google, OIDC), TOTP two-factor, and passkeys, with invite-based registration and per-user quotas for shared instances. Storage targets local disk or any S3-compatible backend, a full REST API automates everything, and custom themes plus a PWA round out the experience.
