Kamal on a Mac
Deploy containers to your own servers over SSH (37signals) · Hosting
Kamal (from 37signals, the tool behind their move off the cloud) deploys a containerised app to servers you already own; no control plane and no PaaS: it SSHes in, installs Docker if needed, pulls your image from a registry and cuts traffic over through kamal-proxy once the new container passes its health check. Zero-downtime deploys, rollbacks by image tag, accessories for databases and Redis, and an audit log kept on the servers themselves. gem install kamal, then kamal init, a config/deploy.yml, and kamal setup. FrontierStack's Kamal pane is the UI it doesn't ship with: point it at a project folder and it shows what's running on which hosts and at which version, cross-references those hosts against your fleet, and puts deploy, redeploy, rollback, logs and the audit history one click away; every change streamed to a console. A lighter-weight alternative to Dokku, CapRover or Coolify when you want plain Docker on plain servers.
