Aeroplane

Aeroplane provides a self-hosted deployment control plane designed to manage applications, databases, domains, logs, backups, and updates on user-owned infrastructure. It enables individuals or teams to deploy and oversee apps and databases directly on their own servers, rather than relying on third-party cloud services. After installation via a single script, Aeroplane equips the server with a management interface referred to as a cockpit, which centralizes control of deployments, database access, host health, storage, and updates. The platform supports the creation and management of apps and databases from the same interface, allowing users to configure domains, environment variables, logs, and backups for each project. Supported managed surfaces include applications, Postgres, Redis, domains, backups, and logs, among others. Aeroplane also provides panels for day-to-day operations such as deployments, monitoring host health, and managing storage and updates. Migration features are available for users transitioning from other platforms. Aeroplane can import projects from Railway by connecting with a Railway personal API token, enabling the transfer of projects, environments, services, and deployment settings. The import process includes app variables, command overrides, supported database data (such as Postgres-family databases), custom domains, and detected service ports. Similarly, Aeroplane facilitates importing Vercel apps, transferring Git repositories, environment variables, build and install commands, and custom domains, while skipping Vercel system variables and hostnames. Aeroplane is offered as a 100% free-to-use tool, with no cloud subscription, seat pricing, or deployment fees. Users are required to provide their own server, install Aeroplane, and retain full control over their deployment control plane. The platform positions itself as a solution for those seeking to manage their apps and infrastructure independently, without reliance on proprietary cloud hosting services.
