Show HN: A open source Heroku-like PaaS that runs on your server

Looking forward to seeing this mature. I am using dokku to host Webase [1] on a dedicated server and also have used Heroku extensively. It feels like there is room in the market for a tool like this.

How is it different than Dokku?

Perhaps to answer the question, one might ask: How is Heroku different from Dokku?

For one, Heroku has dedicated customer support when you pay them.

Right, dedicated support should be available at launch. Thanks for the feedback.

How does this differ from CloudFoundry?

See also: CapRover. Beats dokku all to hell, in my experience.

Be careful, their (CapRover) embedded NetData image has the NetData upstream defaults for spyware, so you are advised not to enable it (use of their embedded NetData is optional).

It is straightforward to set up CapRover with an ssh deploy key and a webhook for deploying automatically on any repo change (even from a self-hosted Gitea, which CapRover also makes easy).

Isn't Show HN for products that we can actually try out? Looks like this is just collecting emails at this point.
