What runs under the hood
Deploy Dash uses Railpack as part of the deployment engine to handle runtime builds and app delivery workflows.
Features built for developers who want control.
Deploy Dash gives you the convenience of expensive hosting platforms, but everything runs on your own server and your computer. Connect a server, deploy code, manage data, and recover safely.
Railpack capabilities inside Deploy Dash
What Deploy Dash adds on top
Deploy Dash combines Railpack-powered deploys with server setup, Postgres provisioning, domains, email, backups, and local-first security in one desktop UI.
What you can do with Deploy Dash
Bring your own server
Connect a fresh Ubuntu server from any provider. Deploy Dash sets it up for real websites, without expensive hosting markups.
Railpack-powered deployments
Deploy Dash uses Railpack under the hood to ship Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby, and static sites from a simple desktop flow.
Zero-config app shipping
Connect your repository and click deploy. Deploy Dash builds the app, sets up secure HTTPS, and publishes it without manual server commands.
Project buckets and isolation
Keep each app neatly separated. Store repo, domain, database, and settings together, so changes stay predictable.
Database linking and reuse
Reuse one database across multiple apps with clear permissions and connection details generated for you.
Time Machine recovery
If production data breaks, rewind your database to a specific second using a visual slider.
How the feature stack works
- Check connection details and tighten server security before anything runs.
- Install the core services for app hosting, HTTPS, databases, domains, and email with health checks.
- Create a project bucket, connect GitHub, map your domain, and deploy with secure HTTPS.
- Enable scheduled backups, then use Time Machine restore when needed.
