Welcome to dployr ​

dployr architecture

I’m launching dployr: a deployment platform for people who want the convenience of a PaaS, but still want real control over where things run.

What is dployr? ​

At a high level, dployr has two parts:

  • A control plane (the “base”). Use our hosted, globally distributed base (free), or self-host your own base.
  • Lightweight agents on your VMs that make an outbound, mTLS-secured connection to the base

Because the agents dial out to the base, you don’t need to open inbound ports to your VMs. Point them at our hosted base, or at your own base if you prefer.

Dployr supports multiple runtimes out of the box: Node.js, Python, Go, PHP, Ruby, .NET, Java, Docker containers, and static sites.

Key Features ​

Simple Management ​

Deploy through the web dashboard or the CLI. If you’re working with a team, RBAC is built in so access can be scoped properly.

Automatic HTTPS ​

HTTPS is handled for you via Caddy integration, so you’re not stuck hand-rolling certificates for every new service.

Open Source ​

dployr is open source (Apache 2.0). If you want to dig into the code, change how something works, or contribute fixes, you can.

Getting Started ​

If you want to try it, start with the quickstart guide.

If you run into issues or want to share feedback, join us on Discord. You can also follow development on GitHub.
