Your infrastructure
- Full control over your servers and data
- Predictable costs without per-request pricing
- No vendor lock-in or platform dependencies
- SSH into machines and debug with standard tools
Self-host and scale web apps
without the complexity
Take your Docker Compose apps to production with zero-downtime deployments, automatic HTTPS, and cross-machine scaling. No Kubernetes required.
# Start with any cloud VM or your own server
$ uc machine init [email protected]
# Deploy your app with automatic HTTPS
$ uc run --name my-app -p app.example.com:8000/https app-image:latest
✨ Your app is available at https://app.example.com
# Achieve high availability by adding more machines and scaling the app
$ uc machine add [email protected]
$ uc scale my-app 2
PaaS-like workflow on your own servers
Deploy with the simplicity of Heroku or Fly.io while keeping full control over your infrastructure.
Familiar Docker Compose workflow
- Build, push, and deploy with one command
- No image registry required
- Zero-downtime rolling deployments
- Scale replicas across machines
Low maintenance
- No control plane or quorum to manage
- Secure cross-machine communication without opening ports
- Services find each other automatically
- Automatic HTTPS via Let's Encrypt
How it works
Simple by design,
powerful in practice
Uncloud replaces complex clusters with a simple network of machines working seamlessly together — no maintenance overhead, just reliable infrastructure.
Secure private network
Each machine joins a WireGuard mesh network with automatic peer discovery
and NAT traversal. Containers get unique IPs and can communicate directly
across machines.
Fully decentralised
Unlike traditional orchestrators, there's no central control plane to
maintain. Each machine maintains a synchronised copy of the cluster
state
through peer-to-peer communication, keeping cluster operations
functional
even if some machines go offline.
Smart CLI
Control your entire infrastructure using intuitive Docker-like commands from
anywhere. Deploy, monitor, and scale applications across all your machines
while the CLI only needs SSH access to a single machine.
Deploy anywhere
Run your apps on any Linux machine — from cloud VMs and dedicated servers to bare metal at your office or home.
Automatic HTTPS
Get free TLS certificates and automatic HTTPS for your domains with zero configuration using built-in Caddy reverse proxy.
Load balancing
Distribute traffic across container replicas running on different machines for improved reliability and performance.
Service discovery
Access any service by its name from any container using the built-in DNS that automatically tracks services across your network.
Infrastructure as Code
Define your entire app stack in a familiar Docker Compose file. No need to learn a new config format.
No vendor lock-in
Mix cloud providers and your own hardware freely to optimise costs and performance, without changing how you deploy or manage apps.
See in action
Deploy a highly available web app with automatic HTTPS across multiple regions and on-premises in just a couple minutes.
