Dokploy: Free Self-Hosted PaaS Alternative to Vercel and Heroku
Dokploy is a free, open-source PaaS that bundles Docker Swarm, Traefik, PostgreSQL, and Redis into a single web dashboard. It lets developers deploy apps, manage databases, and handle domains without manual Docker configuration. The setup guide covers Ubuntu 20.04-24.04 LTS with minimum 2GB RAM and 2 vCPU requirements.

While Dokploy offers a compelling free alternative to paid PaaS platforms, its reliance on self-hosting means users must manage their own VPS and security, which may not suit all teams.
