Show HN: Docklift – Probably the cheapest and fastest way to deploy web apps (opens in new tab)

I bought a VPS for less than $4, yet it was large enough to host multiple of my silly projects. I needed something simple and clean to deploy all of them on the same machine with SSL. No clutter, no BS. So I created it:

    uv tool install docklift
    # Create a Dockerfile
    docklift init  # Provide host info and domain
    docklift deploy

That's it. It installs Docker and Docker Compose on your VPS, uploads the source code, generates `docker-compose.yml` file for the project including Caddy configuration with SSL, builds and runs the Docker container. You only need to have Dockerfile.
