Yes. Cloudpirates seems to be the successor. Not all charts are available now, but it is growing fast. All charts are built with official images. So another rugg pull is way harder.

Hey HN,
I’m Gianni and the creator of Kubero, an open-source PaaS. I've been working on it for the past 3 years and now I've just released version 3. The idea for Kubero was born during Heroku’s major outage in 2022, when I realized how much we rely on closed platforms — and how fragile that can be. The main goal is to keep the workflows and simplicity of Heroku, but with the freedom and control of self-hosting. Developers are empowered to take charge of their infrastructure. No infrastructure hassle — just push your code, and it runs.
Kubero is running on Kubernetes, as an operator. It comes with an intuitive web UI, Accessible API, and a CLI. It supports Dockerfiles, Nixpacks, Runpacks, and Buildpacks for building your applications. You can deploy any containerized app with ease. Or just use the 170+ pre-configured templates to get started quickly. It’s designed to be user-friendly, even for those who aren’t Kubernetes experts.
Core Features:
- Run any docker container with Add-Ons (Postgres, Redis, etc.)
- Git-based deployments (just git push)
- Starting Apps with a pull request
- High availability and autoscaling
- App metrics and logs
- 170+ pre-configured templates for quick setup
- API for automation and integration
- CLI for easy management and installation
- Web-Console and Logs in the UI
- SSL handling with cert manager
...
I’ve also put together a detailed feature comparison with Heroku here: https://www.kubero.dev/docs/comparison-heroku
What’s New in v3:
- Built-in User Management –> Roles, API tokens, permission system.
- Team Views –> Manage multiple teams/projects in one instance.
- Multi-language support (English, German, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, ... more to come)
- Tested and Stable –> 500+ Jest tests, ~85% test coverage.
Kubero is 100% open source and welcomes contributors. If you’ve ever wanted more control over your app platform — or just want a break from vendor lock-in — give it a try!
Happy to answer questions and get your feedback!

Kubero is very similar, 100% open source, and runs on any Kubernetes.

Not free, since you still need a Kubernetes somewhere.
But at least 100% open-source and selfhostable.
It covers most of Herokus features.

Nice analogy. But with ladder, you're just wearing a Google shirt and get invited.

I can fully agree on that.

We live in a world, where we have more misinformation and poor journalism every day, and less money in the pockets of the people to afford paying for good journalism. So this might start a more open discussion on how to finance journalism. And while discussions are still going on, people can inform themselves with good journalism, which supports the democracy.

Thats not the full story. It works on many sites, but some (ft.com as an example) have more severe countermeasures to bypass the paywall. Therefore the ladders modifies the served HTML from origin to remove such.
Those rules still need to be build up. (by me or the OS-community)

Not sure about the paywalls. But it might be used for "drive by attacks" or phishing.

In deed it was. Sad it's gone.
One single downside was the intransparency. It was not clear which code was added or removed on the site you where looking at.

Yes, the one i provide is still pretty empty yet. I plan to build one that can be used as a starting point or as a default.

Those were Paywall bypassing tools. 12ft.io was shut down one week ago and 1ft.io still works.
But I feel a bit unconfident to let someone inject code to sites i view.
It is called http://www.kubero.dev and runs on kubernetes.
