I'm happily using Dokku[1] and another one in this host your own PaaS space is CapRover[2]

I can second caprover. Personally I find it easier to use than dokku. The admin ui is quite nice.

Aside from having an admin UI, would you be willing to talk a bit about how caprover is easier to use than dokku?

Feel free to hit up the `@dokku` twitter account, catch us on the gliderlabs slack (https://glider-slackin.herokuapp.com), or even provide feedback in the Discussions section of the primary Github repository (https://github.com/dokku/dokku/discussions).

(I am the dokku maintainer).

I can second Dokku, though haven't used CapRover. Dokku has its quirks but it has served me well in the past two years.

Maintainer of Dokku here.

Would love to pick your brain as to what our quirks are and how we might avoid them in the future. Feel free to hit up the `@dokku` twitter account, catch us on the gliderlabs slack (https://glider-slackin.herokuapp.com), or even provide feedback in the Discussions section of the primary Github repository (https://github.com/dokku/dokku/discussions).

@josegonzalez, thanks so much for all of your work on Dokku and for being so responsive in the community for the last couple years. We tried Flynn at one point and had enough issues we moved back to dokku within 2 months and have been happily living on it for years now. You helped me directly with an issue with DB naming at one point, much appreciated!

Going to take you up on this offer. We've been running Dokku in production for years; and have a few quirks which have resulted in us evaluating moving to k8s.

Dokku is FANTASTIC, thank you so much for your work on it.

@josegonzalez Thanks for the reply. :) I’ll try to write something down when I have some time.

Kind of related: is there something like Dokku but for FaaS?

There's faasd [https://github.com/openfaas/faasd] which is OpenFaaS without the Kubernetes overhead.

And alexellis is a pretty active maintainer.
