Heya, Disco is the open source PaaS I've been working on with my friend Antoine Leclair.

Lots of conversation & discussion about self-hosting / cloud exits these days (pros, cons, etc.) Happy to engage :-)

Cheers!

what does this service offer over an established tool like Coolify? currently hosting most of my services on a cheap Hetzner VPS so i'm interested what Disco has to offer

Coolify and other self-hosting options such as Kamal are great. We're all in the same boat!

I'd say the main differences is that we 1) we offer a more streamlined CLI and UI rather than offering extensive app/installation options 2) have an api-key based system that lets team members collaborate without having to manage ssh access/keys.

Generally speaking, I'd say our approach and tooling/UX tends to be more functional/pragmatic (like Heroku) than one with every possible option.
