I was also looking at alternatives -

K8S-based -

https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack

https://github.com/kubero-dev/kubero

https://github.com/pluralsh/plural

DCR-based -

https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify

https://github.com/dokku/dokku/

https://github.com/Dokploy/dokploy

https://github.com/swiftwave-org/swiftwave

Most of these projects are maintained by a single maintainer; for business critical apps look elsewhere.

The most recent significant discussion of this topic (271 comments 7 months ago) with anecdotal recommendations of several of these:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41358020 Dokku: My favorite personal serverless platform

Which was nearly immediately preceded by a smaller (62 comments) Coolify discussion also on the front page:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41356239 Coolify’s rise to fame, and why it could be a big deal

Thanks for the links. I didn't know about SwiftWave.

I have a page with a comparison table of self-hosted PaaS on my site: https://dbohdan.com/self-hosted-paas. It only covers options that don't use Kubernetes. I have just added SwiftWave.

I’m building another one, based on Docker Swarm: https://lunni.dev/

My goal is to build an intuitive, snappy UI that helps you but doesn’t get in your way. Happy to answer any questions and would love to hear what you think :-)

Thanks for adding this.

The core problem of most of the PaaS is the dependency on Swarm (serious workload can't be run on swarm from my experience, disaster recovery too tough).

Working towards building an orchestrator.

There is also piku, sort of a tiny dokku; https://github.com/piku/piku

This is true for most alternatives, but not for Coolify.

I am the second maintainer of Coolify and Andras and I maintain most of Core Coolify while we have 4 other maintainers helping with support and the docs and a few other maintainers who help with CLI and some other stuff.

Because businesses always support their software better than individuals?

[o1o1o1]

He did not say "companies vs individuals", he said "single maintainer", which is obviously a high risk factor to consider IMHO.

I wonder why they all start their own projects instead of putting their heads together. They could achieve so much more and make a bit more money on the side, while each of them would have to spend less time on it. It would also attract risk-averse companies.

The amount of random 1 man opensource projects holding up industries is shocking XD

[edoceo]

Bus factor maybe? Which is mitigated by good community/contributors

[theanonymousone]

What is DCR?

[selexin]

I’m wondering the same thing. Docker Container Registry maybe?
