I have experience with Dokku, Flynn (also look at this if you're looking at Dokku), CapRover, k8s, and a tiny bit of Nomad.

I think CapRover has the best experience out of the Dokku/Flynn/CapRover "group". Not a huge Dokku fan. Would use Flynn over Dokku again, but I'd rather use CapRover over both.

If you're intent on using Dokku, there's a useful web console:

I would agree with that. I’ve used most of the various options for a DIY PaaS and also prefer CapRover.

CloudRon [1] is actually really great, but its pricing is prohibitive (and changes frequently) for side-projects, which is when I most want to use something like this rather than just deploying/managing the k8a myself.

Would you say CapRover is 'more complicated' or more suited to bigger projects than Dokku? I gave it a good hard look before deciding on Dokku, as my use case was so simple, but wondering whether it'll scale.
