What it is

Openship builds apps from a Git repository, deploys them to your servers, and handles routing, domains, and Let's Encrypt TLS. It can run as a desktop app that drives servers over SSH, as an always-on self-hosted server with push-to-deploy and team logins, or through a CLI. Developers and small teams use it to ship web apps to their own machines instead of paying for a managed hosting platform.
