What Caprover does
CapRover is a Docker-based platform that deploys applications with git push. It self-hosts on any server, and the listing says setup takes under a minute. Developers who want a platform-as-a-service on their own machines use it instead of a managed host. The listing presents it as a self-hosted alternative to managed platforms. The project is available at caprover.com.
