I'm continuing to develop Uncloud [1] — an open source tool for deploying and managing containerised applications across multiple Docker hosts. Includes WireGuard overlay network, ingress with automatic HTTPS, and simple Docker-like CLI. Unlike traditional orchestrators such as Kubernetes, Uncloud has no state reconciliation or quorum needs which makes it easy to understand and use. If you ever wanted something simpler than Kubernetes for self-hosting your apps on cloud VMs or in your homelab, Uncloud might be for you.
Key updates from the past month:
- New demo screencast [2]: Deploy a highly available web app with automatic HTTPS across cloud VMs and on-premises in just a couple minutes
- Added initial Docker Compose support for service deployment. The same Compose can be used for developing locally and deploying to your cluster
- Completely revamped how service and container specifications are stored, enabling proper implementation of the service 'scale' command and selective container recreation
My goal for Uncloud is to create a more capable and modern replacement for Docker Swarm, which is no longer being actively developed.
