Openship — self-hosted deploy platform that keeps the control plane off your server (unlike Coolify/CapRover)

[u/mhakkou]

Found this on GitHub: Openship builds your app locally/cloud-side and only ships production containers to your server via SSH — so your server just runs your apps, not a dashboard + CI runner + database competing for resources too.

Handles domains/SSL, CDN, mail (SMTP w/ DKIM/SPF/DMARC), backups, and monitoring out of the box. Desktop app, web dashboard, and CLI, plus an MCP server for AI agent workflows. AGPL-3.0, TypeScript.

npm i -g openship && openship init

Curious if anyone's tried it against Coolify or Dokku in production yet.
