▸ Docker simplicity. Multi-machine power ◂

Uncloud is a lightweight clustering and container orchestration tool that lets you deploy and manage web apps across cloud VMs and bare metal with minimised cluster management overhead. It creates a secure WireGuard mesh network between your Docker hosts and provides automatic service discovery, load balancing, ingress with HTTPS, and simple CLI commands to manage your apps.

Unlike traditional orchestrators, there's no central control plane and quorum 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.

Uncloud is the solution for developers who want the flexibility of self-hosted infrastructure without the operational complexity of Kubernetes.

The screenshot below demonstrates how I use Uncloud to deploy https://uncloud.run website to 2 remote machines from the compose.yaml file on my local machine.

It exposes the container port 8000/tcp as HTTPS on the domain uncloud.run, served by the Caddy reverse proxy on the remote machines. All managed by Uncloud.

Here is a more advanced use case. Deploy a highly available web app with automatic HTTPS across multiple regions and on-premises in just a couple minutes.
