description CapRover Overview

CapRover is an open-source, self-hosted Platform as a Service (PaaS) built on top of Docker. It provides a web-based graphical user interface that simplifies the deployment and management of containerized applications, databases, and web services.

The platform includes a one-click app repository, allowing developers to quickly install popular software stacks without writing complex configuration files. It is designed for developers and system administrators who want the convenience of a managed cloud platform on their own hardware.

help CapRover FAQ

Does CapRover use Kubernetes?

No: CapRover uses Docker Swarm beneath its web interface and CLI. It combines Docker with Nginx and Let's Encrypt to provide deployment, routing, scaling, and HTTPS without requiring Kubernetes administration.

What must be configured before installing CapRover on a VPS?

The server needs a public IP, a supported Docker installation, and the required TCP and UDP ports opened. A wildcard DNS record is recommended because it lets CapRover create HTTPS hostnames for applications automatically.

Can CapRover deploy directly from a Git repository?

Yes: the CapRover CLI can package and deploy a repository using a captain-definition file, and CI systems can trigger deployments through webhooks. It can also deploy a prebuilt Docker image or accept a source archive through the dashboard.
