The lightweight nature of Dokploy was my main reason for choosing it. Its simplicity is reflected not only in the UI design but also in the deployment process. Other self-hosting platforms introduce too many concepts, leaving me unsure of where to click. However, Dokploy strikes a great balance in its design. Currently, I’ve been using it to deploy Firecrawl, Weblate, and many of my custom Next.js applications with Docker Compose. Everything has been running smoothly for the past three months. Thanks to Dokploy!
