What is 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.

What is Infisical?

Infisical is outgrowing 'secrets manager' — PAM, PKI sync and credential rotation now dominate its releases

Infisical ships a patch release every few days. The recent stream is dominated by three tracks: privileged access management getting connection tests, CLI domain flags and org-admin auto-enrolment; PKI sync destinations expanding to KEMP load balancers, Nutanix Prism Central and Windows and Linux servers; and credential rotation adding Azure app connections, LDAP and Datadog API keys. Machine identity work runs alongside, including expiry alerting.

6.3

A self-hosted PaaS spending its releases on secrets, injection fixes and plan limits.

◆ Current state

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.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is a self-hosted platform trying to earn production trust: encrypted secrets, injection fixes, a pinned install script tied to each release, and Postgres query rewrites to stop hitting the 100-argument limit on rollbacks, schedules and backups. Plan limits point the other way — toward a commercial tier layered on the open-source core. Both arcs suggest the project is past feature-chasing and into making the platform defensible.

◆ Prediction

Expect the hardening thread to continue into the rest of the 0.29 line, with the plan-limits work being the seed of a paid tier that gets more definition before a 0.30 release.

Infisical is outgrowing 'secrets manager' — PAM, PKI sync and credential rotation now dominate its releases

◆ Current state

Infisical ships a patch release every few days. The recent stream is dominated by three tracks: privileged access management getting connection tests, CLI domain flags and org-admin auto-enrolment; PKI sync destinations expanding to KEMP load balancers, Nutanix Prism Central and Windows and Linux servers; and credential rotation adding Azure app connections, LDAP and Datadog API keys. Machine identity work runs alongside, including expiry alerting.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is assembling the pieces of a full secrets-and-access platform rather than deepening secret storage. PAM, certificate lifecycle and automated rotation are three separate enterprise categories, and Infisical is now shipping into all of them at once from a single release train. Note that the broader architectural work — secrets brokering through proxied services and an agent-proxy CA — sits just outside this window and is not classified here.

◆ Prediction

Expect PAM to keep absorbing release surface and reach general availability signals, with the proxied-service template library growing beyond the Google Workspace entry point.
