Hey Product Hunt! Deplo is an open source deployment platform built to make deploying your applications simpler, without Docker, SSH or hand-written YAML.
We built it because every self-hosted alternative we tried seemed to assume you enjoy debugging a compose file at midnight. We don't. So we built the one we wanted to use.
What's in it today:
- Deploy without Docker, SSH or YAML: connect a repo, pick a server, and you're live
- Share servers across teams, with granular control over who can deploy where
- Automatic preview environments for every pull request
- Custom roles (RBAC) from day one: define roles and control access across your infrastructure
- One-click rollback to any previous deployment, without rebuilding
- AI-ready with MCP: let AI agents deploy, inspect logs and manage your infrastructure with scoped access
- Encrypted backups with a recovery key you own
There are good tools in this space already and we're not here to tell you yours is bad. If what you run works for you, that's genuinely fine. If you've been putting off self-hosting because it looked like a second job, that's who we built this for.

We'll be here all day. If something breaks, or if a part of the UI made no sense to you, say it here.
Deplo will officially launch here on September 14th, 2026 12:01 AM PDT.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 We built a self-hosted deploy platform where you never have to open a terminal.
We developed it because every self-hosted alternative we tried seemed to assume you enjoy debugging a compose file at midnight. A no-no. So we created the solution we wish we could use ourselves.
Two things pushed us into it. The first is the bill. Not the price, the surprise. The second is that every self-hosted alternative we tried assumes you enjoy debugging a compose file at midnight. We don't. So we built the one we wanted to use.
Talking more precisely, Deplo is an open source platform you install on your own server. Connect a repo, pick a server, and it builds it, runs it, puts it behind a domain, gets the certificate and keeps it alive. The rule we set ourselves is that you never need Docker knowledge, SSH or hand-edited YAML to get full value out of it. The shell is there as an escape hatch if you want it, never as a requirement.
What's included today:
- Deployment without Docker, SSH, or YAML: connect a repository, choose a server, and you're online
- Server sharing across teams, with granular control over who can deploy where
- Automatic preview environments for every pull request
- Custom roles (RBAC) out of the box: define roles and control access to the entire infrastructure
- One-click rollback to any previous deployment, without having to rebuild the application
- AI-ready with MCP: enable AI agents to deploy, analyze logs, and manage infrastructure with limited access
- Backups encrypted with a recovery key owned by you

@umberto_abbatantuono Thanks Umberto! Compared to Coolify, Deplo has full role-based access controls with 40+ permissions, encrypted backups, the option to share servers between teams and more that you can discover in our dedicated comparison page :) https://deplo.build/comparison/coolify
And yes! A fully automated migration from Coolify is possible, learn more here: https://deplo.build/docs/migrations
This is really cool! I'm gonna have to try it I do self hosting but the server debugging can be a real pain, had it not been for a friend that had already seen most of the issues I ran into I would've been lost!
very interesting project! do u plan to release a paid version too?
Deplo
@luca_ardito Thank you Luca! For now, there will be no paid version :)
Cool idea - and they are really responsive on their discord channel! Good luck on your launch.
Deplo
@dennishlewis Thank you so much! We will do our best :)
Avoiding terminals will open self-hosting to more users. Well done.
Deplo
@david_cavill1 Absolutely, that's our mission!
