Dokku
The smallest PaaS implementation you've ever seen·dokku.com
Dokku is an extensible, open source Platform as a Service that runs on a single server of your choice. It builds applications from a git push using either a Dockerfile or Heroku-style buildpacks, then runs them in isolated containers. Web processes are automatically routed via nginx while background and cron tasks are managed by Dokku itself. It is powered by Docker and can be installed on almost any hardware or cloud provider.
