Deploy like the cloud.
Belune is an open-source, self-hosted PaaS that runs as a single Go binary next to Docker — git-push deploys, managed databases, automatic TLS, and backups you can actually restore. On your own server.

why belune
The parts other self-hosted PaaS tools leave to you.
Databases treated like they matter
Scheduled backups to S3, one-command restore, and guarded major-version upgrades that snapshot first. Not an afterthought bolted onto a container.
TLS you can see
Live certificate status per domain — and the actual reason when issuance fails, instead of a silent 526. Caddy does the work; Belune shows it.
One Go binary + Docker
No Kubernetes, no control-plane sprawl, no cluster to babysit. A single binary talks to Docker on the host. Install, and you have a platform.

the honest table
How Belune compares — including where it doesn't win yet.
| Feature | Belune | Coolify | Dokploy | CapRover |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-binary control plane | ||||
| Per-domain TLS status & failure reasons | ||||
| Managed DB backups & restore | ||||
| Guarded major-version DB upgrades | ||||
| Web terminal | ||||
| Multi-server | soon | |||
| Docker Compose import | soon |
Point-in-time comparison; competitors ship fast — verify against their current docs. “Soon” = on the Belune roadmap, and free when it lands.
questions
Straight answers.
- Is it really free?
- Yes. Belune is Apache-2.0 licensed. Everything an individual needs — including audit logs — is and will remain free. Any future paid tier targets organization-only needs like SAML/SCIM.
- Does it support Docker Compose?
- Not yet. Compose import is planned after launch as a way to bootstrap a project from an existing compose file — a starting point, not a runtime format Belune passes through.
- What do I need to run it?
- A Linux host with Docker installed. Belune talks to the Docker socket to build images and run your apps and databases. No Kubernetes, no external control plane.
- How safe is my data?
- Databases back up on a schedule to S3-compatible storage, restores are one command, and major-version upgrades snapshot before they touch anything. Secrets are encrypted at rest.
- What does the version number mean?
- Belune is pre-1.0. A minor release (0.x) may include breaking changes; a patch is always safe to apply. Back up before upgrading — Belune makes that a one-liner.
