Canine

About the project

Canine is a self-hosted Kubernetes deployment platform that brings the simplicity of Platform-as-a-Service (like Heroku) to your own Kubernetes infrastructure. Deploy applications with git push, manage services through an intuitive web interface, and leverage the full power of Kubernetes without writing YAML.

Why Canine?

Kubernetes Made Simple Stop wrestling with kubectl and complex YAML manifests. Canine provides a clean web interface to deploy, scale, and manage your applications on Kubernetes.

Git-Driven Deployments Connect your GitHub or GitLab repository and deploy automatically on every push. Canine builds your Docker images and handles the entire deployment pipeline.

Full Kubernetes Control Unlike hosted PaaS solutions, you maintain complete control over your infrastructure. Run Canine on any Kubernetes cluster - cloud, on-premise, or edge.
