Lift CLI

Deploy to your own server with a single command.

Lift is an open-source CLI tool that turns any VPS into a production-ready deployment target. No platform fees, no vendor lock-in -- just your servers, your rules.

Key Features

  • No vendor lock-in -- Deploy to any server you control (Hetzner, Vultr, DigitalOcean, Linode, or any VPS).
  • Your servers, your rules -- Full SSH access, no proprietary runtime, no black boxes.
  • Git-push deploys -- Push your code and Lift handles the rest: build, deploy, health check, rollback.
  • Auto HTTPS with Let's Encrypt -- Traefik reverse proxy with automatic SSL certificate provisioning.
  • Zero-downtime updates -- Tool updates deploy without interrupting live traffic.
  • Auto-recovery -- Unhealthy containers are automatically detected and restarted.
