Propel Legacy

Overview

Propel is a powerful deployment tool designed to streamline the process of hosting multiple web applications on a single server. Whether you are working with Python-based frameworks like Flask and Django or deploying PHP/HTML sites, Propel makes it easier to manage your deployments with minimal hassle. Its aim is to allow developers to deploy applications effortlessly while ensuring they run smoothly in isolated environments.

Designed primarily for environments such as DigitalOcean, Propel harnesses the capabilities of various underlying technologies, including Gunicorn, Gevent, Supervisor, and Nginx. The ability to run scripts, background workers, and even manage maintenance mode on your applications sets Propel apart in the field of deployment solutions.
