# Dokploy

> Dokploy is a self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS) that simplifies the deployment and management of applications and databases. The core product is open source and free to self-host, making it a compelling alternative to platforms like Heroku, Vercel, and Netlify. It is built on Docker and Traefik, and is available as a self-hosted installation or as a managed cloud product. Enterprise features—including SSO, fine-grained RBAC, audit logs, and white labelling—require a commercial licence. Dokploy is designed for individual developers, small teams, and large enterprises alike.

Dokploy lets teams deploy any application—using Nixpacks, Heroku Buildpacks, or a custom Dockerfile—alongside databases and Docker Compose stacks, across single or multiple servers. It supports Docker Swarm for clustering, real-time monitoring, automated backups, and granular role-based access control. AI-assisted deployments are supported via an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, enabling AI agents and tools to interact with Dokploy directly.
