Short summary
This guide walks through installing Dokploy, an open-source self-hosted PaaS alternative to Heroku and Vercel, on Ubuntu 24.04. It covers deploying a sample app from GitHub, securing traffic with Traefik and Let's Encrypt HTTPS, provisioning a PostgreSQL database, and monitoring container resources. By the end you have a fully functional PaaS running an app and database behind automatic HTTPS.

- •Deploy a sample app from GitHub using Nixpacks auto-detection and secure it with Traefik + Let's Encrypt HTTPS
- •Provision a one-click PostgreSQL database and monitor CPU, memory, and network I/O per container
