CapRover

CapRover is an easy to use PaaS with a dashboard. It helps you to take your app from http://localhost:3000 to https://awesomeapp.com in seconds. It makes HTTPS enabling as simple as clicking on a button. It makes database (MongoDB, MySQL, Postgres and etc) deployment available with a single click. No more manual nginx configurations, or building everything from scratch. See https://caprover.com/docs/get-started.html#caprover-setup for setup documentation. If you are using this One-Click droplet, you should skip step 1 in the guide.
