Built for the{" "} Self-Hosting Community

DashCaddy was born from the frustration of managing dozens of Docker containers, SSL certificates, and DNS records by hand. We built the tool we wished existed.

Our Story

Self-hosting is powerful. You own your data, you control your infrastructure, and you're not at the mercy of SaaS providers who can change their terms, raise prices, or shut down overnight. But let's be honest — it can also be a pain.

Every new service means editing Caddyfiles, creating DNS records, configuring SSL certificates, writing Docker Compose files, and hoping everything plays nicely together. Multiply that by 20, 30, or 50 services, and you've got a full-time operations job on your hands.

DashCaddy was built to solve this. One click to deploy an app. SSL, DNS, and reverse proxy configuration happen automatically. A beautiful dashboard to monitor everything. And when something goes wrong, you know about it immediately — not when a family member texts you that Plex is down.

We believe self-hosting should be accessible to everyone, not just people who enjoy writing YAML at 2 AM. DashCaddy makes it beautiful and effortless.
