No. It is advertised as having zero telemetry, so it does not report usage data back to its developers.
Yes. You can deploy stacks from a Git repository and redeploy them when the repository changes. It also includes vulnerability scanning of your images.
More apps in Containers.
Manage Docker containers, Compose stacks and image builds across as many servers as you like from one web interface.
Deploy household web apps and services to your own server through a dashboard for builds, domains, backups, and logs.
Create, edit and update Docker Compose stacks from a web UI, built by the developer of Uptime Kuma.
Hand Dokploy a Git repo or a Compose file and the self-hosted PaaS builds and runs it on your own server, with Traefik in front for routing.
Manage containers, images, volumes and networks from a web dashboard, across Docker, Podman and Kubernetes hosts.
Manage a Linux server from a browser with an open-source control panel: files, Docker containers and databases in one place. Websites run behind OpenResty, cron jobs are scheduled from the same page, and the store installs open-source apps as containers.
