What is CapRover?​

You are probably familiar with cPanel, a web hosting control panel that allows you to manage your websites, databases, and other services. CapRover is a self-hosted, open-source alternative to cPanel. It is a web-based app deployment & management platform for your Docker-compose apps. It is a free and open-source project that you can install on your own server. It is a great tool for developers and system administrators who want to deploy their apps quickly and easily.

What are requirements?​

Info you will not find in documentation​

If you want to install CapRover to ARM64 server you are out of luck. Currently automatic installation does not work. You will need to compile code for yourself.

Installation​

To install CapRover run this command:

docker run -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -p 3000:3000 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /captain:/captain caprover/caprover

After installation is finished wait for about 30sec to 1 min for everything to start.
