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)
