Hey HN, I’m Gianni and the creator of Kubero, an open-source PaaS. I've been working on it for the past 3 years and now I've just released version 3. The idea for Kubero was born during Heroku’s major outage in 2022, when I realized how much we rely on closed platforms — and how fragile that can be. The main goal is to keep the workflows and simplicity of Heroku, but with the freedom and control of self-hosting. Developers are empowered to take charge of their infrastructure. No infrastructure hassle — just push your code, and it runs. Kubero is running on Kubernetes, as an operator. It comes with an intuitive web UI, Accessible API, and a CLI. It supports Dockerfiles, Nixpacks, Runpacks, and Buildpacks for building your applications. You can deploy any containerized app with ease. Or just use the 170+ pre-configured templates to get star

ted quickly. It’s designed to be user-friendly, even for those who aren’t Kubernetes experts. Core Features: - Run any docker container with Add-Ons (Postgres, Redis, etc.) - Git-based deployments (just git push) - Starting Apps with a pull request - High availability and autoscaling - App metrics and logs - 170+ pre-configured templates for quick setup - API for automation and integration - CLI for easy management and installation - Web-Console and Logs in the UI - SSL handling with cert manager ... I’ve also put together a detailed feature comparison with Heroku here: https://www.kubero.dev/docs/comparison-heroku What’s New in v3: - Built-in User Management –> Roles, API tokens, permission system. - Team Views –> Manage multiple teams/projects in one instance. - Multi-language support (English, German, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, ... more to come) - Tested and Stable –> 500+ Jest tests, ~85% test coverage. Kubero is 100% open source and welcomes contributors. If you’ve ever wanted more control over your app platform — or just want a break from vendor lock-in — give it a try! Happy to answer questions and get your feedback!

I was also looking at alternatives - K8S-based - https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack https://github.com/kubero-dev/kubero https://github.com/pluralsh/plural DCR-based - https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify https://github.com/dokku/dokku/ https://github.com/Dokploy/dokploy https://github.com/swiftwave-org/swiftwave Most of these projects are maintained by a single maintainer; for business critical apps look elsewhere.
