The short answer

Is Temps better than Dokploy? It depends on what you need. Here is what each one is, and what Dokploy has that Temps doesn't.

What they share
Both are free, self-hosted PaaS platforms with git-push deploys, Docker Compose support, automatic SSL, managed databases and multi-server support.
Where they diverge
Dokploy shows CPU, memory, disk and network usage per resource, but leaves error tracking, session replay, web analytics and uptime checks to other tools: about $211/month as Plausible, Sentry Team and LogRocket, or more services to run. Temps includes all four in the binary.
What Dokploy has that Temps doesn't
Docker Swarm for multi-server clusters, a larger community (about 37,700 GitHub stars), a managed cloud you can use today from $4.50 per server, and SAML SSO on its Enterprise tier. Temps joins worker nodes to its own control plane for multi-node and puts SAML SSO in Premium.

Why teams switch from Dokploy

Choose Temps if you want error tracking, session replay, web analytics and uptime monitoring in the platform; choose Dokploy if you want Docker Swarm clusters, a larger community or a managed cloud you can buy today. Both are free to self-host and both deploy Docker Compose stacks directly. Dokploy's built-in monitoring covers server and container resources; application observability is left to other tools.

Application observability built in
Dokploy monitors CPU, memory, storage and network for each resource. Error tracking, session replay, web analytics and uptime checks come from separate tools such as Sentry, a replay product and Uptime Kuma. Temps includes all four.
Proxy built into the binary
Temps is one Rust binary with its Pingora-based proxy built in (no Traefik), running beside Docker and a TimescaleDB container that the installer sets up. Dokploy is a Node.js application that runs with Docker, Traefik and several containers.
Sentry-compatible error tracking
Keep the official Sentry SDK and change the DSN to point at Temps. Dokploy has no error aggregation of its own.
Session replay built in
Watch real user sessions to debug UX issues, recorded with rrweb and stored on your own server. With Dokploy, replay is a separate tool such as OpenReplay or a SaaS product.

What it actually costs

Both are free to self-host. Dokploy's cloud is $4.50/month per server, or from $15/month for three servers with team features, and SAML SSO is on its custom-priced Enterprise tier. For application observability you either run Sentry or GlitchTip, a replay tool and Uptime Kuma yourself, or pay for SaaS: Plausible, Sentry Team and LogRocket come to about $211/month. Temps includes the equivalent in one binary; OIDC sign-in is free and SAML SSO is part of Premium ($399 per organisation per month).

Which one should you choose?

Choose Temps if you…

  • You want error tracking, session replay, analytics and uptime checks without extra tools
  • You want one binary with the proxy built in rather than Traefik plus several containers
  • You need session replay to debug user-facing issues
  • You want transactional email in the platform
  • You want OIDC sign-in without an enterprise tier

What Dokploy does better than Temps

  • You want Docker Swarm for multi-server, multi-container clusters
  • You already have an observability stack you prefer
  • You want a managed cloud you can buy today
  • You prefer Dokploy's larger community (about 37,700 GitHub stars)

Migrating from Dokploy

Easy difficulty

Temps has a Dokploy import wizard: connect it to your Dokploy instance's API, and it discovers the applications and databases, shows you a plan, and recreates each one as a Temps project with its environment variables and a live deployment. Compose-based apps deploy through the Docker Compose preset; splitting a Compose stack into separate Temps services is optional.

Frequently asked questions

Dokploy vs Temps: which should I choose?

Choose Temps if you want deployments plus application observability: web analytics, Sentry-compatible error tracking, session replay and uptime monitoring in one Rust binary. Choose Dokploy if Docker Swarm clusters matter to you, you want its larger community (about 37,700 GitHub stars), or you want a managed cloud now. Both are free to self-host and deploy Docker Compose stacks, with git-push deploys, automatic SSL, preview environments and managed PostgreSQL, Redis and MongoDB.

What does Temps include that Dokploy doesn't?

Dokploy monitors CPU, memory, storage and network per resource. Temps adds web analytics, error tracking (point the official Sentry SDK at a Temps DSN), session replay and uptime monitoring with alerting, plus S3-compatible object storage and transactional email. With Dokploy those come from separate tools such as Sentry or GlitchTip, OpenReplay and Uptime Kuma.

What does Dokploy do better than Temps?

Dokploy has Docker Swarm for multi-server clusters, a larger community, a managed cloud from $4.50 per server, and SAML SSO, SCIM and audit logs on its Enterprise tier. Temps joins worker nodes to its own control plane rather than Swarm, and its SAML SSO and SCIM are part of Premium.

Is Dokploy open source?

Mostly. Dokploy's licence file puts the code under Apache 2.0, except for directories named /proprietary, which are under a proprietary licence; GitHub reports the licence as 'Other'. Temps is dual-licensed MIT / Apache 2.0.

How much does each cost?

Both are free to self-host. Dokploy's cloud is $4.50/month per server, or from $15/month for three servers with team features, and Enterprise is custom. Temps Cloud, a hosted control plane for your own servers, is $29/month in an invite-only beta; Premium for self-hosted Temps is $399 per organisation per month. The larger difference is observability: with Dokploy you pay for, or run, separate error tracking, replay, analytics and uptime tools.

Can I migrate from Dokploy to Temps automatically?

Yes. The Temps import wizard connects to your Dokploy instance's API, discovers applications and databases, and recreates them as Temps projects with environment variables and a live deployment. The Dokploy migration guide walks through each step.
