Uncloud is a lightweight container orchestration and clustering tool that enables developers to take Docker Compose applications to production, offering a simple, cloud-like experience without the operational overhead of Kubernetes. It achieves cross-machine scaling and zero-downtime deployments by automatically configuring a secure WireGuard mesh network for communication and using the Caddy reverse proxy to provide automatic HTTPS and load balancing. Uncloud’s main architectural advantage is its fully decentralized design, which eliminates the need for a central control plane and ensures cluster operations remain functional even if individual machines go offline. With Uncloud, you can freely mix and match cloud VMs and bare-metal servers into a unified and cost-effective computing environment.
