CapRover
CapRover is a scalable, free, and self-hosted platform as a service built to make app, database, and web server management extremely easy. It is designed for Node.js, Python, PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby, MySQL, MongoDB, Postgres, WordPress, and many other applications, giving developers a simple way to move from localhost to a live HTTPS domain in seconds. CapRover is blazingly fast and very robust because it uses Docker, Nginx, Let’s Encrypt, and NetData under the hood, while keeping the experience simple through a web GUI and a CLI for automation and scripting. It helps developers avoid spending hours setting up servers, build tools, SSL certificates, Nginx rules, and deployment scripts, so they can focus more on writing application code and less on server work. It supports any language, one-click apps, free SSL with automatic HTTP-to-HTTPS redirection, and several deployment methods, including uploading source from the dashboard, using the CapRover deploy command.

Easypanel
Easypanel is a next-generation server control panel powered by Docker, built to deploy applications, manage databases, and provision SSL certificates through an intuitive interface. Unlike many other panels, Easypanel can run any application, creating Docker images for Node.js, Ruby, Python, PHP, Go, and Java apps using Heroku Buildpacks, while still allowing users to bring their own Dockerfile when they need greater control. Developers can push to GitHub and let Easypanel get the code, build it, and deploy it automatically, with support for zero-downtime deployments so updates happen seamlessly without interruptions for users. It also supports Cloud Native Buildpacks, Paketo Buildpacks, Nixpacks, and Dockerfile-based builds, giving teams several ways to turn source code into Docker images. Databases are first-class citizens in Easypanel, with support for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis, plus web-based tools to inspect logs or connect to the database CLI.
