What does AODE actually do?

AODE is a self-hosted deploy portal. Install it once on your VPS, connect your GitHub repos, and push to deploy — with automatic SSL, Docker introspection, 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. Lifetime updates included. No subscription, no per-user fees, no egress charges. Pay once, use forever.

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 on one VPS. Need it on more servers? Buy additional licenses at the same price — no volume pricing tricks.

How does updating work?

AODE updates from inside the panel when new releases ship. Lifetime updates included with every license — no extra fees, no maintenance subscriptions.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes — 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. See the full refund policy for details.

How is this different from Coolify or CapRover?

AODE focuses on a polished GitHub-to-VPS flow with auto-SSL, Docker introspection, and a built-in DB browser — all under one panel you own. We have a detailed comparison post on the blog.

Do I need a domain to use it?

No. AODE assigns subdomains under your VPS hostname by default. Add custom domains anytime — auto-SSL is handled via Let's Encrypt.
