Congrats on shipping! What are the main differences between QuickDeploy and Dokku/Dokploy/Caprover/etc?

I just checked them out, because I only heard about Dokploy before! Yeah, they’re definitely in a similar space. IMO the key difference is simplicity: with QuickDeploy it’s literally two commands and your app is online.

Tools like Dokku are great for managing full lifecycles of apps that will be live long-term. QuickDeploy is focused on a different use case like getting something live instantly (e.g. for a hackathon, demo, or side project) without needing to think much about it! Also especially in those use cases you do not really need an UI like you get with Dokploy, the goal is just to have the app live.

I had some problems setting up rails on my mac.. I tried it and it also works with rails (at least with a scaffolded app that only shows ok haha) Demo: https://rails.quickdeploy.dev

If you then go to another path it should be clear its rails^^
