Server Compass

Server Compass

Vercel-like deploys to your VPS. Nothing installed on it

Server Compass is a Vercel alternative that runs on your machine, not your server.

Connect any VPS over SSH, link your GitHub repos, and deploy with one click—no Docker agents, no control panels, no bloat installed on your server.

Unlike Coolify, Dokploy, or CapRover, Server Compass keeps your server clean. It deploys from your desktop via SSH using blue-green zero-downtime deployments.

Built-in:

16+ framework detection — Next.js, React, Vue, Django, Laravel, Go, Rust, and more
Database management — PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis
.env Vault — AES-256-GCM encrypted environment variables

Stop paying $200+/month for Vercel, Railway, or Render. Get the same polished deployment experience on a $5 VPS.

Pay once ($29). Own it forever.

Available on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Building ServerCompass.app - Deploy like...

I built Server Compass because I was tired of paying $200+/month to deploy basic apps on Vercel and Railway. The alternative? SSH into a server, write Docker Compose files, set up Nginx, manage SSL certs, configure CI/CD pipelines... I didn't want that either. I wanted the Vercel experience—push to deploy, rollbacks, preview URLs—but on a $5 VPS. And I didn't want anything installed on my server. No control panels, no agents, no bloat. Just a clean server that I fully own. So I built Server Compass as a desktop app. It connects to your VPS over SSH, deploys your code with zero-downtime blue-green deployments, and manages everything from your machine. Your server stays clean. It auto-detects 16+ frameworks, handles databases, encrypts your .env files, and gives you one-click templates for 100+ apps like Postgres, Wordpress, Ghost, MySQL, OpenClaw, etc All for a one-time $29 payment.
