Self-host and scale web apps without Kubernetes 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

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.
