    Prerequisites

    • •A RamNode VPS with at least 2GB RAM running Ubuntu 24.04
    • •A domain name with DNS access (or use server IP for testing)
    • •SSH access to your server
    • •About 20-30 minutes for initial setup

    Why Self-Host with Dokploy?

    Cost Predictability

    Starting at $4/month, a single VPS can run multiple apps that would cost significantly more on managed platforms. Pay for compute, not per-deployment pricing.

    Vercel/Netlify Experience

    Get the polished deployment experience you're used to—automatic builds, preview deployments, and instant rollbacks—on infrastructure you control.

    Built-in Traefik

    Dokploy includes Traefik for automatic SSL, routing, and load balancing. No manual certificate management required.

    Full Control

    Your code, your data, your infrastructure. Essential for compliance requirements and projects where data sovereignty matters.
