EzPaaS CLI

A miniature Heroku clone for easy in-house deployments, powered by Docker.

What Is It?

At Tendigi, we build applications for a variety of clients, often simultaneously, and those applications usually require server-side infrastructure. We also build random things internally from time to time, and these often depend on services that have to live somewhere.

For production deployments, we love Heroku (when it makes financial sense) as well as systems like Deis which can be deployed on AWS / DigitalOcean / etc.

We longed for a simple, on-site PaaS solution that we could hack on as our needs evolved. Dokku is a great project, but we ran into some issues with it (problems updating to newer versions, discrepancies in application behavior compared to our other Deis deployments, a little annoying to work on because it's a collection of shell scripts, etc). As a result, we built EzPaaS: a mini Heroku clone, built in Ruby, powered by Deis images running on Docker.

EzPaaS Server

Important! To use this CLI utility, you need to have EzPaaS Server deployed somewhere. This can be on your local machine (the CLI will connect to localhost on port 3000 by default) or a remote server by passing the --server option.
