sh0 is a self-hosted deployment platform for developers, agencies, and teams that need isolated environments for pull requests. It connects to Git repositories through webhooks, builds Docker images, detects stacks automatically, and creates preview deployments with unique URLs. The platform combines deployment, reverse-proxy configuration, automatic SSL, monitoring, backups, managed database containers, and infrastructure-as-code configuration in a single binary. Its web, API, and self-hosted interfaces suit teams that want control over the infrastructure running their applications.

The plan structure covers free experimentation through larger team deployments. Free includes 1 stack, unlimited deployments, 170+ templates, preview environments, API keys for CI/CD, and community support. Pro costs $19 per month and adds 1 stack with unlimited apps, database servers, S3-compatible file storage, a PostgREST API gateway, serverless functions, and email support. Scale costs $49 per month and adds unlimited stacks, managed database, storage, mail, auth, realtime, and functions, plus cloud backups, monitoring and alerts, uptime monitoring, and public status pages. Business costs $99 per month and adds multi-server BYOS clusters, unlimited team members, role-based access control, auto-scaling, priority support, and team-wide AI API keys. Yearly billing saves 17%.

Its ecosystem fit is broad for a self-hosted preview platform: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, Forgejo, Docker, Let's Encrypt, and Caddy are supported. Preview environments can use configurable expiry, database containers for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis, and MongoDB, custom domains with automatic SSL certificates, blue-green deployments, and rollback support. Choose sh0 if infrastructure control, full-stack previews, and a low entry price matter. Teams seeking a fully hosted deployment service should look elsewhere, while larger organizations may need Business features for access control, team scale, and multi-server clusters.
