Self-Hosted App Platform & Container Hosting
Run your own Heroku on hardware you control. Self-host Coolify, Dokploy, or plain Docker on a dedicated machine and deploy apps straight from Git — no per-app SaaS pricing, no vendor lock-in.
Platforms like Coolify and Dokploy give you the Heroku or Vercel experience — push from Git, automatic builds, SSL, databases, and a clean dashboard — but running on infrastructure you own. A dedicated server is the ideal home for them: Docker gets the whole machine, so your containers have real, reserved CPU and memory instead of a thin shared slice, and you avoid the per-app or per-seat pricing that managed platforms charge. You keep full root and Docker access, so there is no ceiling on what you can deploy.
Deploy straight from Git
Coolify and Dokploy build and ship your apps on push — your own platform-as-a-service, self-hosted.
Run many containers
Apps, databases, and services as containers side by side, with the machine’s resources reserved for you.
No per-app pricing
Host as many projects as the hardware allows for one flat machine cost — no per-seat or per-app fees.
Real dedicated resources
Docker runs on bare metal, so containers get genuine reserved CPU and RAM, not a throttled shared slice.
Why dedicated hardware for this
Shared hosting and noisy-neighbour VPS plans compromise on exactly the things this workload needs. A whole machine removes those compromises.
What to look for in a machine
A few things worth weighing when you pick a configuration for this workload.
CPU & RAM for builds
Builds and many running containers add up — size cores and memory for your busiest deploys.
NVMe for images & data
Container images, volumes, and databases want fast NVMe with room to grow.
One box or a cluster
Start on a single machine; add more dedicated nodes later if you outgrow it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. With full root access you can install Coolify, Dokploy, CapRover, Dokku, or run Docker and Docker Compose directly — whatever self-hosted platform you prefer.
Managed platforms charge per app, per seat, or per resource and place you on shared infrastructure. Self-hosting on a dedicated machine gives you flat pricing, dedicated performance, and full control of the stack.
Yes. These platforms can provision databases as containers next to your apps, or you can run a dedicated database engine on the same machine — the resources are all yours to allocate.
