Uncloud is a lightweight, decentralised container orchestration tool that deploys and manages containerised applications across a network of Docker hosts using Docker Compose files. It creates a secure WireGuard mesh network between machines and provides service discovery, load balancing, automatic HTTPS, and zero-downtime deployments without a central control plane.
Use cases
- deploy docker compose apps across multiple servers
- self-host web apps on my own VPS without kubernetes complexity
- run a multi-machine docker cluster on cloud VMs and bare metal
- get zero-downtime rolling deployments with docker compose
- replace docker swarm for production workloads
- move off heroku or a cloud PaaS to my own servers
- set up automatic HTTPS and reverse proxy for self-hosted services
- connect docker hosts into a secure private network
When to choose
- you want multi-host Docker Compose deployments without Kubernetes or Swarm overhead
- you self-host web apps on a few cloud VMs or bare-metal servers and want zero-downtime deploys and automatic HTTPS
- you want a Heroku-like deployment workflow on your own infrastructure
- you need a decentralised cluster with no control plane or quorum to maintain
- you're migrating away from Docker Swarm or a PaaS
When to avoid
- you need large-scale orchestration with autoscaling, advanced scheduling, or a rich ecosystem — use Kubernetes
- you need a managed control plane, RBAC, and enterprise cluster features
- your workloads are non-Linux or non-Docker
- you need a mature GUI dashboard today (Uncloud Hub is still early access)
