A web control panel for deploying applications on your own servers using Dokku.
Intercity Next is a web control panel that allows developers to deploy and manage applications on their own servers. It provides a Heroku-like experience for self-hosted deployments by leveraging Dokku as the underlying deployment engine, enabling teams to maintain control over their infrastructure while simplifying deployment workflows.
Developers and small teams who want to self-host applications without managing complex DevOps tooling, particularly those familiar with Heroku-style deployments but needing more control over their infrastructure.
Intercity Next offers a polished, open-source alternative to commercial Platform-as-a-Service solutions, giving teams full control over their deployment environment while maintaining a simple, intuitive interface that reduces the learning curve for server management.
