Show HN: DockerHoster – Self-hosted alternative to Vercel with auto-deployments

说明与用途

DockerHoster 允许在单个 12 美元/月 VPS 上托管 20+ 网站，并通过 GitHub Actions 自动部署，支持完整 Docker 生态系统，消除无服务器平台的限制。

问题

The author wanted the simplicity of Vercel’s “push to deploy” workflow but needed to run databases, cronjobs, and long-running processes that serverless platforms don’t support well.

结果

DockerHoster enables self-hosted, cost-effective deployment of multiple web projects with automated GitHub push-to-deploy, full Docker ecosystem support, and no serverless limitations.

工作流

• 1. Deploy a $12/month VPS (e.g., DigitalOcean droplet).
• 2. Install Docker and Docker Compose.
• 3. Install nginx-proxy and configure VIRTUAL_HOST for routing.
• 4. Copy the provided GitHub Actions workflow and docker-compose.yml into each project repository.
• 5. Push code to GitHub; GitHub Actions triggers DockerHoster to build and deploy the container automatically.
• 6. Use Cloudflare for DNS, SSL, DDoS protection, and WAF if desired.

证据

I built DockerHoster after getting tired of paying per-project hosting fees.

It’s a one-command setup that lets you host 20+ websites on a single $12/month VPS with automated GitHub deployments.

DockerHoster uses nginx-proxy to automatically route traffic to Docker containers based on VIRTUAL_HOST.

You just copy a GitHub Actions workflow and docker-compose.yml to any project, and it deploys automatically on push.

Tested running 20+ sites on a 2GB RAM DigitalOcean droplet.
