So if I understand correctly, DigitalOcean just built an inferior version of caprover? (for which a digital ocean one-click droplet exists BTW)

Caprover is essentially a really nice GUI for docker swarm, Let's encrypt and nginx.

Well DigitalOcean usually have pretty amazing docs, which was something I found lacking with caprover. DO documentation feels like it was written for humans instead of.. I dunno caprover just feels too technically written. It activates the CBA "I'll find something easier to use" feeling

Or yes, use their one click droplet and be using DO anyway except you manage the server if it breaks. Also auto scaling? That's on you

It's from this comment thread. Upcoming rather than available
