/dev/push

/dev/push is an open-source, self-hosted Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that allows users to build and deploy applications directly from GitHub repositories. The software is deployed as a server-side application, primarily supporting Ubuntu 20.04+ and Debian 11+ distributions via a dedicated installation script.

Users manage the entire deployment lifecycle through a web interface, including environment configuration and domain mapping. It supports a wide range of frameworks and languages, including Next.js, Django, FastAPI, and Flask, by utilizing Docker containers for application execution. This allows for a consistent build environment regardless of the underlying host hardware.

Key features

• Git-based deployments with zero-downtime rollouts and instant rollback
• Support for any language or framework that can run on Docker
• Branch mapping and encrypted environment variables for multiple environments
• Live and searchable build and runtime logs for monitoring
• Role-based access control with team invitations and permissions
• Custom domain support with automatic Let's Encrypt SSL certificates
• Self-hosted installation via a dedicated setup script

The system architecture relies on Docker and Docker Compose to manage application stacks and data persistence. It requires the creation of a GitHub App for authentication and repository access, and integrates with email providers like Resend or standard SMTP for login emails and team invitations. The platform includes a registry catalog for runner and preset definitions, which can be modified or overridden during the installation process to suit specific project needs.

Administrative tasks are handled through a set of provided scripts for backups, database migrations via Alembic, and service restarts. The software uses a PostgreSQL database for metadata and Fernet keys for the encryption of sensitive environment variables. It is designed for developers and teams who want the workflow of a managed PaaS while maintaining full control over their own infrastructure and data.
