What does AODE actually do?

AODE is a self-hosted deploy portal. Install it once on your VPS, connect your GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repos, and push to deploy. You get automatic SSL, one-click PostgreSQL and MySQL, nightly database backups, health-checked zero-downtime deploys, log streaming, and a built-in database browser. One panel for your whole stack.

What do I get with the license?

A one-time license that installs AODE on any VPS. Pay once and keep using it. Updates are currently included at no extra charge, and support is best-effort email from the developer. No subscription, no per-user fees, no egress charges.

What are the system requirements?

A fresh Ubuntu 20.04+ or Debian 11+ server with root or sudo access, at least 4 GB RAM and 20 GB disk, a public IP, and a domain with its DNS A record pointed at your VPS. The installer brings Docker, Traefik, SQLite, ClickHouse, and the panel — all in isolated containers with health checks.

Can I install it on multiple servers?

Each license activates one production server. Reinstalling on the same server always works; moving servers is handled via support. Need AODE on more servers? Each server needs its own license, no volume pricing tricks.

How does updating work?

AODE updates from inside the panel when new releases ship. Updates are currently included at no extra charge, and there is no maintenance subscription today.

Do deploys cause downtime, and are my databases backed up?

Deploys swap in the new version only after it passes a health check, and the old version keeps serving if the new one fails. PostgreSQL and MySQL databases that AODE provisions are backed up nightly and kept on the server, with an optional copy to Cloudflare R2, and you can restore from the panel. Backups cover databases, not the server itself.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes. Email within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. See the refund policy for details.

How is this different from Coolify or CapRover?

AODE is push-to-deploy from GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket, with a DB browser and SSH-attack bans built in, all under one panel you own. Coolify and CapRover are open source and support more stacks. We have a detailed comparison post on the blog.

Do I need a domain to use it?

You need one domain for the panel itself. After that, every project gets a subdomain (myapp.yourdomain.com) automatically, and you can add custom domains anytime with auto-SSL.

Database Backups & Restore

AODE backs up each project database every night at 03:30 server time. It keeps the newest 14 backups on the server. If you configure Cloudflare R2 in Settings, each backup is also copied there and the newest 30 are kept. This applies to PostgreSQL and MySQL databases that AODE provisioned.

Back Up Now or Download

The project's Database card lists every backup with its time and where it is stored (server, R2, or both). Click Back up now for an extra backup, or use the download button on any row to save the file.

Restore

Click the restore button on the backup you want
Type the confirmation text shown in the dialog
AODE takes a safety backup of the current state first, then replaces the database contents with the chosen backup

A PostgreSQL restore runs in one transaction, so a failure changes nothing. A MySQL restore empties the database before importing.
