Distr is an open-source software distribution platform (control plane) for delivering applications to self-hosted, BYOC, on-premises, air-gapped, and edge customer environments. It combines a vendor hub with deployment agents for Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, and Helm/Kubernetes, a white-label customer portal, an OCI-compliant artifact registry, and license management.
Use cases
- distribute my docker compose app to self-hosted customers
- manage BYOC deployments across customer cloud accounts
- run an on-prem software distribution control plane
- host a private OCI registry with per-customer entitlements
- monitor and collect logs from deployments in customer environments
- issue license keys and control which versions customers can deploy
- manage a fleet of edge deployments from one dashboard
- give customers a white-labeled portal to manage their deployments
When to choose
- you ship software to customers who run it in their own infrastructure (on-prem, VPC, air-gapped, edge)
- you need deployment automation, observability, and a customer portal out of the box
- you want an integrated OCI registry with access control and download analytics
- you need license/entitlement management tied to artifact distribution
When to avoid
- you only deploy to cloud infrastructure you fully control - standard CI/CD suffices
- you need a general-purpose PaaS or app hosting platform rather than a distribution control plane
- you require license management or alerts but cannot use the paid Pro features
- your applications are not containerized (Docker Compose, Swarm, or Helm based)
