By GitHub stars, Coolify is the most popular self-hosted app for self-hosting platforms with 64,712 stars, followed by Portainer and Dokploy. The best fit depends on your needs, so compare Docker support, license and recent activity on each app page.
Are these Self-hosting Platforms apps free?
Mostly. 26 of the 30 apps here are open source; 4 are source-available. The open-source apps are free to run on your own server; source-available licenses add conditions, such as limits on hosted, commercial or production use, so check the license on each app page. A few projects also offer a paid hosted plan or enterprise add-ons.
How do I install a self-hosted Self-hosting Platforms app?
17 of the 30 apps here ship a Docker image, which is the easiest route: rent a small VPS or use a home server, install Docker, and start the app with its Docker Compose file. Apps without an image list their native install steps in the README.

Measured by commits in the last twelve months, the most active projects are Coolify (5,039 commits), Mother-of-All-Self-Hosting (3,916 commits) and Dokploy (2,820 commits). Active development usually means faster bug fixes and security patches.
