# Deplo Deplo is a self-hosted deployment platform that builds, deploys, and serves applications on servers you own. It provides repository-based deployments, HTTPS, managed data services, access controls, and optional AI-assisted infrastructure operations. - Findings24: - Website: - Pricing: Freemium - Categories: Developer Tools ## What is Deplo? Deplo is a self-hosted deployment platform for running applications on servers you own. It deploys from repositories or templates, detects supported frameworks, builds applications, and serves them over HTTPS. Its dashboard covers routine deployment and infrastructure tasks without requiring Docker, SSH, or YAML knowledge, while Docker and a compose escape hatch remain available for users who need them. The platform supports push-based deployments, pull-request preview URLs, rollback to a previously working image, encrypted build and runtime variables, and managed database services. It is open source under AGPLv3 and is currently in beta, with a stable release targeted for Q4 2026 according to the product site. ## What can Deplo do? ### Repository-based deployments Connect GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea. Pushes to a production branch can deploy automatically, and pull requests receive preview URLs that disappear when the pull request closes. ### Framework detection and builds Deplo recognizes the application framework and fills in the port, build command, and start command. Node, Python, Go, PHP, Ruby, and Rust applications can build through Nixpacks. ### HTTPS and managed data services A deployed web application receives a public URL with HTTPS, and a custom domain can have its certificate issued. Managed Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis services can be added and reached by name. ### Access control and activity trail Fine-grained capabilities separate actions such as deploying and deleting, while per-folder grants restrict members to a defined part of the fleet. The activity trail records who performed an action and when. ### Optional AI infrastructure access The native MCP server allows Claude, Cursor, or another MCP client to deploy, read logs, and roll back using a user-controlled token. It is off by default and applies the same permission checks as the dashboard. ## Use Cases ### Host a web application Point Deplo at a Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, Remix, or other supported application repository. It detects the framework, builds the project, and provides a public HTTPS URL without requiring a Dockerfile. ### Deploy from every code push Connect a repository and use the production branch for continuous deployment. Teams can also use temporary preview URLs for pull requests and return to the last working image when a release fails. ### Run applications with nearby data services Add a managed Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis service alongside an application. The service is reachable by name, allowing the application and its data layer to run on the same self-managed infrastructure. ### Let an AI coding agent operate infrastructure Enable the MCP server and provide a minted, revocable token to Claude, Cursor, or another MCP client. The agent can deploy, inspect logs, and roll back while remaining subject to the permissions granted in Deplo. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Does Deplo require Docker or SSH knowledge? No for the standard dashboard workflow. Deplo runs Docker underneath but handles the container work when deploying from a repository or template. A terminal and compose escape hatch are available when needed. ### How is Deplo installed? The documented self-install method runs a single shell command on a fresh compatible Linux server. The installer can install Docker if it is absent, deploy the control plane and reverse proxy, enroll the server, and print the dashboard address and setup link. Hosting-provider onboarding is also available on the site. ### Which application languages and frameworks are supported? The web application use case specifically names Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, and Remix. The site also says any Node application works, while Python, Go, PHP, Ruby, and Rust applications can build through Nixpacks. ### What happens when a deployment fails? For repository-based deployments, Deplo can roll back a bad release to the exact image that worked previously. Its optional MCP interface can also be used to read logs and roll back, subject to the same permissions as the dashboard. ### Is Deplo free and open source? The site states that Deplo is free and open source, with an AGPLv3 license. Users pay their server provider; the site says there are no per-seat charges, bandwidth tiers, or charges for additional environments. Deplo is currently in beta, with a stable release targeted for Q4 2026. ## Quick Facts - **Category**: Self-hosted deployment platform - **License**: AGPLv3 open source - **Deployment inputs**: Repositories and templates - **Supported repository hosts**: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gitea - **Installation**: One-command install on a compatible Linux server - **Current status**: Beta; stable release targeted for Q4 2026
