What it is
Peon: the homepage
Peon is an open-source deployment platform that turns any Linux server into a Docker hosting platform. It enables git push deployments with zero-downtime rollouts, automatic HTTPS with Let's Encrypt, managed databases (Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis), and team collaboration with workspace and project roles. The platform works on any server with SSH and Docker—Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS, Google Cloud, or bare metal—without per-seat pricing.
Peon offers two deployment options: self-host the entire control plane for free, or use Peon Cloud for $3 per project per month with a managed dashboard and pipelines. All plans include unlimited team members, audit logs, an MCP server for AI agents, and an in-app AI assistant. Features include PR preview environments, scheduled tasks, SSH terminal access, custom domains, and one-click marketplace templates.
The platform is MIT licensed open source. Unlike managed PaaS like Vercel or Heroku, Peon keeps your applications and data on servers you own and control, while providing the operational convenience of a modern deployment platform at a fraction of the cost.

Quick answers
How is Peon only $3 per project?
You bring the servers, so Peon doesn't resell compute at a markup. The $3 per project per month (or $30 per year, about 17% off) covers the deployment pipeline, dashboard, TLS, backups and team access. A $4 Hetzner VPS plus Peon can run several production apps for less than one Vercel seat.
Is Peon a Vercel or Heroku alternative?
Yes. Like Vercel, you get git-push deploys, custom domains, HTTPS and preview-style environments, but on servers you own at a fraction of the cost. Peon manages Docker on your own machines with a flat, predictable price and unlimited team members.
Which cloud providers work with Peon?
Any server with SSH and Docker works: Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS EC2, Google Cloud, OVH, Contabo, a Raspberry Pi or bare-metal machines. This makes Peon a container hosting service you can point at whichever cloud provider already hosts your infrastructure.
Are team members really unlimited?
Yes. Every plan includes unlimited members with workspace and project role-based access. Peon never charges per seat.
Does Peon include audit logs?
Yes. Workspace owners can review who did what across projects, services, servers, deploys and settings. This is included on Self Hosted and Cloud plans, not gated behind Enterprise.
