## Description

Openship is a self-hostable deployment platform that builds applications from a Git repository, folder, or existing Docker Compose file and releases them on servers you control or on a managed cloud. It detects the stack, build commands, and port automatically, so no pipeline files or YAML are required, and it packages every app as a standard container so workloads can move between providers. Targets include rented servers, bare-metal or home-lab machines, and multiple servers at once, all reached over SSH through the same interface.

Releases are driven by repository push webhooks, with preview environments, staging-to-production flows, and rollback to earlier deploys. Each release stores a frozen snapshot of its resolved build configuration, so redeploys and rollbacks replay exactly what shipped. In monorepos only the changed services are rebuilt, and ordered release commands can run before cutover. Detected settings can be overridden with a config file. The platform can be operated from a desktop app, web dashboard, command line, JavaScript SDK, REST API, or an opt-in AI-agent endpoint that re-checks permissions on every call.

Around deployments, Openship covers custom and wildcard domains with automatic Let's Encrypt certificates, edge routing with rate limits and country or user-agent filters, and CDN-style caching. It also hosts Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis next to applications, with scheduled backups, one-click restore, and persistent volumes. A built-in mail stack provisioned over SSH provides DKIM, SPF, and DMARC, mailbox management, and an optional webmail client. Live build logs, container metrics, and edge traffic statistics are shown in the interface. Stored secrets are protected with authenticated encryption, and OpenID Connect single sign-on is supported.

A command-line tool installs the self-hosted server, bundling the API and dashboard with a guided setup for the first admin, a domain, and a boot service. One environment setting switches between self-hosted and multi-tenant billing modes.
