Why use this?

Dokku gives developers a minimal, scriptable Heroku-like workflow on their own infrastructure. Applications can be deployed with git push, while Dokku handles builds, containers, process management, domains, SSL, and plugins.

It is ideal for engineers who want simple, low-overhead hosting without a heavyweight control plane. Dokku is particularly popular for side projects, small teams, and cost-sensitive production deployments.
