Show HN: QuickDeploy – Deploy your web app to a VPS with one command
quickdeploy.devHi HN, I am Max and I am building QuickDeploy! It lets you deploy web applications of all sorts to your VPS with one command! Here is a little showcase of the tool itself: https://youtu.be/Feauj4OaePg
Under the hood quickdeploy detects the language and framework you use, so e.g. Next.js and then creates a Docker image. After that it starts the container and waits until it is in a healthy state before using a reverse proxy to redirect traffic to the app. Added benefit is the use of your own domain with instant https!
I am super happy with the result and the ease of use. After it is configured once it just works with one command, that's so cool! Hopefully it will enable more developers to host their own apps and get them interested in that kind of stuf..
Would love your feedback on the tool!
Congrats on shipping! What are the main differences between QuickDeploy and Dokku/Dokploy/Caprover/etc?
I just checked them out, because I only heard about Dokploy before! Yeah, they’re definitely in a similar space. IMO the key difference is simplicity: with QuickDeploy it’s literally two commands and your app is online.
Tools like Dokku are great for managing full lifecycles of apps that will be live long-term. QuickDeploy is focused on a different use case like getting something live instantly (e.g. for a hackathon, demo, or side project) without needing to think much about it! Also especially in those use cases you do not really need an UI like you get with Dokploy, the goal is just to have the app live.
Does it support Rails?
I had some problems setting up rails on my mac.. I tried it and it also works with rails (at least with a scaffolded app that only shows ok haha) Demo: https://rails.quickdeploy.dev
If you then go to another path it should be clear its rails^^
Cool, will check it out. Thanks!
it should also support rails, but I havent tried it yet, I will try and let you know!
