Is CapRover free and open source?
Not by the OSI definition. CapRover is source-available rather than open source: its code is public under the Apache 2.0 with CapRover appendix, which is not an OSI-approved open-source license. This is a custom license: the source is public, but it adds conditions that OSI-approved licenses do not, such as limits on commercial, hosted or production use. Read it before you deploy. Check the license in the repository before using it commercially.
Can I run CapRover with Docker?
Yes. CapRover provides a Docker image, so you can run it on any Linux server with Docker and Docker Compose installed. The project README lists the image name and the environment variables to set.
