Why this score: One of the two most popular open-source self-hosted PaaS options (~38k GitHub stars, pushed Oct 16 2026, v0.30.8 released Sep 29) with native Docker Compose and multi-server support, and a cheap per-server managed option. Like Coolify, you become the ops team for server security, backups and updates, and its ecosystem is a bit smaller, so it lands just behind Coolify.
