Seriously! Who should care about CapRover?
A [web] developer who does not like spending hours and days setting up a server, build tools, sending code to server, build it, get an SSL certificate, install it, update nginx over and over again. A developer who uses expensive services like Heroku, Microsoft Azure and etc. And is interested in reducing their cost by 4x (Heroku charges 25$/month for their 1gb instance, the same server is 5$ on vultr!!) Someone who prefers to write more of showResults(getUserList()) and not much of $ apt-get install libstdc++6 > /dev/null A developer who likes installing MySQL, MongoDB and etc on their server by selecting from a dropdown and clicking on install! How much server/docker/linux knowledge is required to set up a CapRover server? Answer: Knowledge of Copy & Paste!! Head over to "Getting Started" for information on what to copy & paste ;-)
? CLI for automation and scripting ? Web GUI for ease of access and convenience ? No lock-in! Remove CapRover and your apps keep working! ? Docker Swarm under the hood for containerization and clustering ? Nginx (fully customizable template) under the hood for load-balancing ? Let's Encrypt under the hood for free SSL (HTTPS)
