Open Source PaaS Built on Docker

I've been following PaaSs built on docker for a while, and it seems like the new swarm mode in version 1.12 makes them pretty much obsolete. I was a huge fan of deis (deis.io), but it seems like they are pivoting away from docker to do something different (deis.com). At this point, think docker has become big enough such that building a platform on top of it is pretty much redundant, but something like this may prove useful for more modular container systems such as rkt.

This project has not been updated since February. Cursory searches are not showing more active forks. It might be interesting to look at the code for educational purposes, but I wouldn't recommend building on this.

How does this compare against dokku (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dokku&#x2F;dokku" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dokku&#x2F;dokku</a>)?

Very cool - there is Convox who does this as well.<p>one question - there have been a few open source PAAS out there for a while. But no real competitor to Heroku till now. What&#x27;s missing ?

Really pleased to see that they&#x27;ve open-sourced this work! I interviewed at Ooyala back in 2013 when they were just getting started on this project so it&#x27;s quite satisfying to see how far they&#x27;ve taken this project!

This looks cool. I&#x27;m using dokku to do that and I&#x27;m very satisfied with it, but I would like something closer to core docker experience, which would make it easier to integrate with other tools&#x2F;process (like swarm, which not to have on dokku is a big problem).<p>This is where I want to see docker go, being able to handle zero downtime deployment without pain, good luck!

I don&#x27;t understand why this was necessary given Swarm, Mesos, Kubernetes, AWS... Can someone elaborate?

Super cool! I&#x27;ve been using Singularity (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;hubspot&#x2F;singularity" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;hubspot&#x2F;singularity</a>) for the last year and love it.<p>(Also I work at HubSpot where Singularity was developed)

Don&#x27;t forget supergiant.io which addresses the very kludgey way that Docker addresses stateful distributed apps

I assume the &quot;aaS&quot; stands for &quot;as a service&quot;, but what&#x27;s the P stand for?<p>And yes, I looked at the link. It uses &quot;PaaS&quot; without defining it.
