/dev/push
An open-source deployment platform for your own servers: connect a GitHub repository, configure a Docker Compose app, and push to deploy.
What is /dev/push?
/dev/push gives you a Vercel-like workflow on servers you control. You connect a GitHub repository, describe the app with Docker Compose, and every push deploys it. The dashboard can run on Cloudflare Workers or on Node, while a small Linux agent on each server manages applications, HTTPS certificates, deployment logs, monitoring and backups. Teams, environments and encrypted variables are built in.
Good fit if
- You want push-to-deploy for compose apps on your own VPS.
- You like the idea of a serverless dashboard with light agents on servers.
