What is it?

ZaneOps is a self-hosted platform for deploying static sites, web apps, databases, background workers and other services on your own server. It is aimed at developers who want a Heroku, Railway or Render style workflow without handing their infrastructure to a hosted provider. The README gives examples such as Supabase, WordPress and Ghost as things you can run on it.

The platform uses Docker Swarm for scheduling and scaling containers, and Caddy as the reverse proxy that routes HTTP traffic. Installation is a single shell script that sets up the stack on a server.

The web interface includes a dashboard, project detail pages, HTTP request logs and runtime logs for each service.
