A Dokku alternative for the whole fleet
Push to a branch. Walk away. Every server, every app and every backup on one screen.
What you get moving from Dokku
Dokku is a free, open-source, Heroku-style PaaS driven by git push and a CLI, built around one server. Serversinc is a hosted control plane for a fleet.
Many servers, one screen
Import or provision servers and manage them all from one organisation.
No SSH keys to hand out
The team works from the dashboard, API or MCP, each with their own account.
Rollback on a failed check
Traffic stays on the old container until the new one passes its health check.
Users, schemas and grants
Provision Postgres, MySQL or MariaDB and manage access without a shell.
Scheduled from one place
Database and volume backups to S3, R2, B2 or Spaces, with retention and locks.
Metrics and alerts
Server metrics and disk insights, sent to email, Slack or a webhook.
The bill, side by side
Dokku is free and open source. Dokku Pro, a paid add-on, adds a web UI and JSON API.
