Getting to Know Deplo

DeluxHost · 9:47AM

Hello LET 👋

Today we wanted to share something a little different from our usual hosting offers.

We’re happy to introduce Deplo, an open-source deployment platform designed to make running applications on your own VPS, dedicated server or hardware significantly easier.

The idea is simple:
Connect your repository → pick your server → deploy.

Deplo handles the builds, containers, routing, HTTPS, logs, monitoring, backups and the operational work around your application, while the infrastructure remains completely yours.

Deplo is an independent open-source project, and DeluxHost is supporting the project as an official sponsor.

DeluxHost is also the first hosting provider to officially integrate Deplo as a one-click deployment option on compatible servers, as part of our partnership with the project.

The public Deplo Live Demo is hosted on infrastructure provided by DeluxHost.

This looks interesting for sure!

I have starred the git repo, good luck with deplo!

Looks cool. wanna try that out

@DeluxHost there’s an issue with the installer. i think it needs to be more reliable across different environments. if Docker isnt installed, it tries to set everything up, but it doesn’t do it correctly, even though the Docker app is running. idk is it for me or not

installer fails if Docker isn’t installed, or sometimes because of some other issue.
the link print doesn’t print correctly sometimes. not always, but sometimes.

main issue i got is bash: line 1329: DEPLO_DOMAIN: unbound variable. idk why, i tried it on 3 servers and it only worked on this one. i didn’t go check what the issue was. i tried it and the tool is awesome . i might move from Dokploy to this.

   Open https://deplo-7f3a91.nip.io - your apps kept running throughout.

    deplo-7f3a91.nip.io already resolves to this server, so there is no DNS to set up.
    Its certificate issues on the first request.
    To use your own domain, re-run with --domain <your domain>.
    Locked out? ssh -L 3000:localhost:3000 [email protected], then open http://localhost:3000
    Lost the owner account? `deplo recover owner <username>` on this host.
    GitHub must be able to reach https://deplo-7f3a91.nip.io for callbacks and webhooks.

Let us know what you think! Your suggestions would surely help us get a better platform in the next few days or months

It's how cloud platforms work generally. They also use docker in some way or another to simplify the deployment of apps - also, the “alternative to the cloud” part refers to the platform model, not Docker Compose itself.

so it just like Vercel?

It's a Vercel-like experience, but self-hosted and running on your own infrastructure

first, i didn’t check the app properly. but it has so many failures and memory leaks. hope u fixed them. i’m still gonna use Dokploy for now

forest · 1:23PM

Podman > Docker anyway.

deplo · 1:27PM

@forest said:

I've tried Podman and it's great. But Deplo is made for people who don't want to deal with docker (or any terminal/containerization system) directly - there is still an option to interact with it, but it's completely optional.

The installation issue should be fixed now. As for the memory leaks, could you please provide us more details? Thanks! (You can also open an issue on github and we'll look into it asap)

AI generated slogan.

something fully generated daily by an unemployed person. first it looked cool, but it doesn’t anymore. anyway, better than SSHSpan.

Hi! Thank you for such a thorough comment, although we don't find some of its conclusions particularly accurate.

We’d like to take this opportunity to clarify our position regarding AI, because we believe it’s important to set clear boundaries around how we use it.

We believe AI is a great and valuable tool that can certainly be helpful. At the same time, we believe ideas should come from the person first and then be reviewed and refined using the tools available today. Fortunately, AI is still not quite capable of coming up with titles that compelling, which is why I can confirm that the copy for our website was entirely conceptualized by a copywriter and then transcribed and refined in certain parts with the help of AI.

The slogan was entirely conceived by the copywriter in question, with no AI involved in the creative process behind it.

We want to be very clear and transparent about this: we are absolutely PRO-AI, but we believe in using it within reasonable limits. AI cannot currently replace a human being or their expertise in a specific field. You only need to look at websites that are genuinely AI-generated to notice the pattern: generic wording, an unclear target audience, zero emotional depth, gradients everywhere, and the same recognizable formatting patterns.

To make our position crystal clear, the founder of the project is a Web Developer and Designer, as well as a UI/UX Graphic Designer. The other members of the team are specialized in different fields that complement the project and bring their own expertise to it.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to properly explain our vision and approach to AI.
Have a great day!

1 entirely useless, make permissions PER ACTION LOL useless.
Networkin? Balatant lie works fine on coolify if that's complicated ur brain is smooth
Coolify only needs 1 server for team.

3 things, 1 useless, 2 complete lies! what a great ass platform give ur AI tokens back to society.

Aka, 4 paragraphs to say humans wrote the text on the website (Of which has countless errors)

And the entire backend is 100% AI but you avoid talking about it.
