TragwerkPHP hosting on your own server

A single XML file generates your whole Docker stack — FrankenPHP (a drop-in PHP-FPM replacement, with optional worker mode), Traefik routing, automatic SSL. Host as many PHP apps as you like on any server with SSH.

Get Started

What is Tragwerk?

XML-driven config

Commit a single .tragwerk/config.xml to your repo. Tragwerk generates the entire Docker and docker-compose setup from it — no YAML! You're wondering, "Why XML?" Because you get autocompletion and validation for free.

FrankenPHP runtime

Apps run on FrankenPHP — by default a drop-in PHP-FPM replacement, with optional worker mode for high throughput. PHP 8.x runtimes are selected per application in your config.

Branch-based environments

Every git branch becomes an isolated environment with its own containers, services, and domains. Push a branch, get an environment.

Backing services

Declare databases and caches (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and more) as services and bind them to applications through relationships.

Auto SSL via Traefik

Traefik fronts every app as a reverse proxy and provisions Let's Encrypt certificates automatically, so multiple apps share one server over HTTPS.

Self-hosted on any server

Bring your own server. Register a server, run the automated setup job, and Tragwerk turns it into a Docker host ready to deploy to.

Tragwerk is a self-hosted platform for deploying PHP applications to your own server. You describe your application once in XML; Tragwerk generates the Docker configuration, builds your images, starts the containers, and routes traffic through Traefik with automatic HTTPS.
