I built a self-hosted PostgreSQL Control Plane that runs in a single Docker container

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
A developer built NeonD, a Dockerized control plane on the open-source Neon storage engine.
It lets users manage PostgreSQL instances, create branches, restore to specific points in time, and route connections through a web UI on a single server.
The setup uses Docker Compose, S3 backups, and TLS SNI routing to deliver Neon-like branching in a self-hosted package.
It gives developers a lower-cost way to run preview databases and fast branching without relying on managed cloud services.
