How it works

From bare server to live site in three steps

Run one command

Copy one line into a fresh Debian or Ubuntu server. DCMS installs Docker, a reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS, DNS, firewall and mail. That is the last time you touch the terminal.

Paste your repository

GitHub or GitLab, public or private with an access token. Pick a branch. DCMS detects the runtime, from WordPress to Django, or uses your own Dockerfile.

Pick a domain. Done.

Choose a free subdomain or connect your own domain. DCMS builds the container, requests the certificate and puts your app live with a health check.

AI Editor

Why DCMS

The control of a panel. The isolation of containers.

Classic panels run everything on one PHP stack. Clouds run your code on someone else’s machines. DCMS gives every app its own container on hardware you control.

Questions

Frequently asked

What do I need to run DCMS?

A fresh Debian or Ubuntu server with root access. A small 2 GB RAM virtual server from any provider works great. You run one command, then everything else happens in your browser.

Is DCMS really free?

Yes. The Free plan includes the full platform with one repository instance per server. Pro removes that limit for 5 EUR per server per month, billed through the Customer Portal.

Do I need to know Docker or Linux?

No. DCMS turns deployment into a form: paste a repository URL, pick a branch and a domain. Docker, HTTPS, DNS and the firewall are handled for you.

Where does my code run?

On your own server. DCMS is self-hosted: your code, your data and your traffic never pass through our infrastructure.

Which languages and frameworks work?

PHP 7.4 to 8.3, Node.js 16 to 22, Python 3.10 to 3.13, static sites and any repository with its own Dockerfile. WordPress, Laravel, Symfony, Django, FastAPI and Flask are detected automatically.
