fujin
[!IMPORTANT] This tool currently contains minimal features and is a work-in-progress
fujin is a simple deployment tool that helps you get your project up and running on a VPS in minutes. It manages your app processes using systemd and runs your apps behind caddy.
Features
- 🚀 One-command server bootstrap
- 🔄 Rollback broken deployments
- 🔐 Zero configuration SSL certificates via Caddy
- 🛠️ Secrets injection from password managers (Bitwarden, 1Password, etc.)
- 📝 Ejectable Defaults: Full control over
systemdandcaddytemplates - 👨💻 Remote application management and log streaming
- 🐍 Supports packaged python apps and self-contained binaries

Why?
I wanted kamal but without Docker, and I thought the idea was fun. At its core, this project automates versions of this tutorial. If you've been a Django beginner trying to get your app in production, you probably went through this.
I'm using caddy here instead of nginx because it's configurable via an API and it's is a no-brainer for SSL certificates. Systemd is the default on most Linux distributions and does a good enough job.
Fujin was initially planned to be a Python-only project, but the core concepts can be applied to any language that can produce a single distributable file (e.g., Go, Rust).
The goal is to automate deployment while leaving you in full control of your Linux box. It's not a CLI PaaS - it's simple and expects you to be able to SSH into your server and troubleshoot if necessary. For beginners, it makes the initial deployment easier while you get your hands dirty with Linux. If you need a never-break, worry-free, set-it-and-forget-it setup that auto-scales and does all the magic, fujin probably isn't for you.
Inspiration and alternatives
Fujin draws inspiration from the following tools for their developer experience. These are better alternatives if you need a more robust, set-and-forget solution
