Why not Dokku, Coolify, or CapRover?
Those are broader self-hosted platforms. They build apps with Dockerfiles or Buildpacks and run them in containers.
pack is intentionally smaller. It builds your app into a single-file executable, deploys it to your server, gives each deployment a persistent HTTPS URL, and handles ports, routing, and inactive deployments
