About Dokploy
A self-hosted PaaS spending its releases on secrets, injection fixes and plan limits.
Dokploy cuts patch releases every one to two weeks, and the recent stream is dominated by hardening rather than features. v0.29.12 added AES-256-GCM encryption for environment variables at rest and made backups carry the full keyring; v0.29.13 closed an OS command injection in git clone across all providers. The newest tag says outright that it is bug fixes only. Alongside that, plan limits landed in v0.29.10.
