About

Ployz is an open-source cloud that runs on servers you rent. Point it at any Linux server you can reach as root over SSH and it runs your apps, databases and preview environments there. Push a repo and it builds — language detection means no Dockerfile needed, and one workflow file hands builds to GitHub Actions if you'd rather build elsewhere. It also runs public or private images, so tools you didn't write run beside your app: web services, workers, queues, cron jobs. Databases take one click: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis and others from the canvas, connected to your app by name. Variables reference services by name and every preview gets its own credentials. Networking is private by default. Services reach each other by name across all your servers; the internet sees only your domains, and each domain gets its own certificate. Previews show exactly what changed. Changes stage on a visual canvas and wait until you press Deploy. Services move between servers with their data while they keep serving. Built for coding agents: the ployz CLI does everything the dashboard does, and an MCP server is included. Pricing: Free plan covers the whole platform on your own servers with unlimited servers and projects; paid Hobby and Pro plans are coming soon.
