If you're looking for an alternative, you might want to check out https://www.tutum.co/. They are a bring-your-own-cloud solution that lets you deploy Docker containers to services like DigitalOcean and AWS, and they do a lot of the deployment automation Heroku does.

That's still $5 a month minimum from, for example, DigitalOcean. For that, why not just pay the extra $2 and skip any potential headaches?
For a single app, yes. if you can fit 2 or three on a $10 VPS things look different.
I didn't like the fact that this installs its own docker that is incompatible with the docker from the official site.
It's actually the same binary - the tutum agent just downloads it and upgrades it when requested. If you had docker already installed using a storage engine different than AUFS, because the tutum agent installer tries to use the AUFS storage engine (way more stable than "devicemapper"), you won't be able to "see" what you had in your previous storage engine. But the binary is the one from https://docs.docker.com/installation/binaries/#get-the-linux...
