OpsCaptain (Heroku alternative on your droplet)

Deploy and manage unlimited apps on your droplet using OpsCaptain Agent, CLI, Docker, open source Heroku and Cloud Foundry buildpacks. OpsCaptain creates a PaaS environment on your droplet so you can deploy apps written in most popular languages to your droplet using a single command.

Steps to deploy:

Buy a droplet running Ubuntu 16 and from the OpsCaptain dashboard, provide the IP Address and the root password of this droplet. OpsCaptain then installs Docker, OpsCaptain agent, OpsCaptain proxy and open source buildpacks on your server.

Download the OpsCaptain CLI from npm using [npm install -g opscaptain-cli]

Create an app and the required database engine from the OpsCaptain dashboard. You can then proceed to deploy from the command line using [opscaptain deploy]. You can also zip your project folder and upload it from the dashboard. When deploying from the dashboard, you do not require the CLI as you can do everything from the dashboard.
