What about Kamal? https://kamal-deploy.org/ Did anybody here use it for anything that is not a Ruby on Rails app?

Yes, I have been using it and really enjoying it for deploying web apps. So far I have deployed web apps using: * fastapi (python) * Django ninja (python) * ghost cms (node)

I have been writing up my thoughts (and an example): https://andrewperkins.com.au/kamal/

The ability to deploy to both cloud servers and on-premises is a big win as I often work on projects that have a mix of both.

As the sibling comment says, it’s focussed on web servers. In my use case that is fine!

Great! Are you also deploying DB servers or any other kind of additional servers that are dependencies of those webapps?

Yes, I am deploying mysql with ghost

``` accessories:

  db:
    image: mysql:8.0
    host: 170.64.156.161
    env:
      secret:
        - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
    options:
      restart: always
    directories:
      - data:/var/lib/mysql

```

For my other services I am just using sqlite combined with a volume for persistence (managed by kamal)
