coolify.io is also a great open-source alternative if someone wants a web interface.
Anyone with experience to compare Coolify vs. Dokku? (and maybe something else?)
There's caprover too: https://caprover.com/
Is that really self hosting though ?

Self hosting to me is, at the very least having physical access to the machines.

I think GP miswrote; Dokku does not host, it manages containers and makes deployment easier. It's like a self-hosted Heroku.
Yes, it's self hosting. You have access to the machine.
Aw yes Dokku is still great in 2025! Hear hear!
Dokploy is really nice
