ShipVPS helps AI consultants, solo founders, indie hackers, agencies, and Cursor or Claude Code users deploy Dockerfile-based apps from GitHub to their own VPS. Connect a server, then manage setup, secrets, logs, HTTPS, restarts, and rollbacks from one desktop workflow.
ShipVPS turns a plain VPS into a Dokku-powered deploy target and gives AI builders a clean desktop workflow, no DevOps skills required.
Take the app you built in Cursor, Claude Code, or an AI tutorial and deploy it from a GitHub repository with a Dockerfile. ShipVPS runs Git-based deployments and shows the build stream clearly.
Add a server from Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Contabo, OVH, AWS, or another provider over SSH. ShipVPS verifies access and sets up Dokku as the deploy runtime for your apps.
Tail app logs in real time, filter output, jump to recent errors, check process status, and restart apps from structured controls when something needs attention.
Add domains, review current routing, issue SSL certificates, and see certificate state clearly so HTTPS problems are easier to catch before they affect users.
Create and update environment variables from a guided form instead of hand-editing shell commands. Review changes before applying them to each app.
Deploy multiple apps to one server and keep recent releases within reach. When a deploy goes wrong, roll back to a previous version from the same desktop workflow.
ShipVPS connects directly to your VPS over SSH, no cloud middleman, no credentials uploaded to a third-party service. Server profiles, operation history, app secrets, and SSH keys live on your computer. You stay in control.
