Canine is a self-hosted Kubernetes deployment platform that brings a Platform-as-a-Service style workflow to your own infrastructure.
It’s designed to make Kubernetes application deployment more approachable, letting developers deploy from Git repositories, manage services from a web interface, and use Kubernetes without manually writing lots of YAML manifests.
This is free and open source software.

- Deploys applications to Kubernetes from GitHub and GitLab repositories.
- Builds Docker images automatically using Dockerfiles or buildpacks.
- Manages web services, background workers, and scheduled cron jobs.
- Supports custom domains, DNS integration, and automatic SSL.
