Product Overview
What is Openship?
Openship brings application deployment and infrastructure management into one platform. It detects your stack, builds versioned containers, and handles routing, SSL, and rollbacks. Developers can use Openship Cloud or connect their own servers over SSH, with built-in services and management through a CLI, dashboard, desktop app, or MCP-compatible agent.
Key Features
Flexible Hosting
Deploy to Openship Cloud, your own Linux servers, or a hybrid setup using standard containers that remain portable.
Automated Deployment
Detect application stacks, build from Git pushes, and create isolated preview environments for pull requests.
Versioned Releases
Ship immutable builds with zero-downtime traffic switching and restore previous versions without rebuilding.
Built-In Services
Provision databases, Redis, S3-compatible storage, and mail alongside applications on private networks.
Domains and Monitoring
Manage custom domains, automatic SSL, streaming logs, resource metrics, and scheduled jobs.
Developer and Agent Controls
Manage deployments through the CLI, web dashboard, desktop app, or AI agents connected through MCP.
