Self-hosted deployments
without the complexity
Push to Git → webhook fires → deploy script runs → logs stream live in your browser.
No third-party CI. No per-seat pricing. Your server, your rules.
Everything you need to
ship faster
Production-grade deployment tooling — without the enterprise price tag.
Real-time Log Streaming
Watch every output line of your deploy script stream live in the browser via Socket.io. No more SSH-ing into the server to check if it worked.
Git-triggered Deploys
Push to a branch → webhook fires → deploy script runs automatically. Supports GitHub and GitLab with HMAC-SHA256 signature verification.
7 Framework Templates
Pre-built bash deploy scripts for React/Vite, Vue/Vite, Node.js/Express, PHP, Python, Static sites, and fully custom bash.
Secure Webhooks
Every incoming webhook is verified with HMAC-SHA256 before anything runs. Arbitrary code execution is impossible without the secret.
Role-based Access
ADMIN, DEVELOPER, and VIEWER roles. Developers can trigger deploys; viewers can watch logs; only admins manage users.
npm CLI Installer
One command installs everything — Node.js, PM2, Nginx, SSL, and your admin account. No Docker, no manual config.
Live in 4 steps
From a fresh VPS to automatic git-triggered deploys in under 10 minutes.
Create a Webhook
In DeployManager, create a new webhook for your project. Choose your framework template, set the git repo path, deploy path, and target branch.
Add to GitHub / GitLab
Paste the webhook URL and secret into your repository settings. DeployManager supports both push and pull_request events.
Push to Your Branch
Push a commit to your configured branch. DeployManager instantly receives the webhook, verifies the HMAC-SHA256 signature, and fires your deploy script.
Watch Logs Stream Live
Open the deployment in your dashboard and watch every output line appear in real time. Green means live.
See it in action
A clean dashboard built for the workflow you already have.
All projects, recent deployments, success rate, and quick-deploy actions in one view.
Full deployment history with status badges, commit hashes, duration, and who triggered each deploy.
Watch every output line stream live via Socket.io. Scroll back through the full log after it completes.
Step-by-step wizard. Pick a framework template, browse the filesystem for git and deploy paths, get the URL and secret to paste into GitHub.
Full-featured bash editor powered by CodeMirror 6. Shell syntax highlighting, autocomplete snippets, and a live preview.
Up and running in minutes
One command installer handles Node.js, PM2, Nginx, SSL, and your admin account automatically.
Standard VPS (recommended)
Ubuntu 22.04 / Debian 12
The CLI sets up Nginx, PM2, and Let's Encrypt SSL automatically. Answer a few prompts and you're live.
Hosting Panel
cPanel · CloudPanel · HestiaCP · Plesk
Already have a control panel? The CLI skips Nginx setup and gives you the proxy config to paste into your panel.
Requirements
Built on battle-tested tech
No exotic dependencies. If you've shipped a Node.js app before, this stack is familiar.
Built from
frustration
I manage 10+ client VPS servers as a freelancer. Every deploy was the same routine: SSH in, git pull, npm run build, copy files, reload Nginx.
GitHub Actions costs money I didn't want to spend on small client projects. Jenkins felt like piloting a fighter jet to get groceries. Coolify was brilliant but had too much surface area.
I wanted one dashboard that showed me what deployed when, let me re-trigger a deploy with one click, and streamed logs so I knew if it worked — all running on the server I already had.
DeployManager is that tool.

Building tools I wish existed
I build web apps for clients and needed a deployment workflow that was simple, cheap, and gave me visibility into what was running on my servers.
Built with
Tools that made development faster and better.
AI coding assistant that dramatically accelerated development — architecture decisions, debugging, and writing boilerplate.
Visit →Type-safe backend and frontend. Prisma + TypeScript made the DB layer painless to refactor.
Beautiful documentation framework built on Next.js. Powers the full docs site.
Visit →Blazing-fast frontend build tooling. HMR during development made iteration loops instant.
Inspired by
Projects that shaped the design philosophy.
Coolify
↗Great open-source PaaS — but the complexity was overkill for teams who just want git-triggered deploys without the full platform.
Dokku
↗The minimal philosophy I was aiming for. Showed me that a small tool that does one thing well beats a bloated platform.
Caprover
↗The dashboard concept — giving a visual interface to server deployments was the right call.
GitHub Actions
The workflow YAML model is brilliant. I wanted the same power but running on a $6/month VPS instead of shared cloud runners.
