After a decade of professionally working with container orchestrators like Kubernetes and ECS I quit my job to build Uncloud — an open source lightweight version of those [1]. I want the tool to bring me joy when I use it, in a similar way Docker did when I first tried it in 2013.
Imagine Docker Compose and Tailscale had a baby. Uncloud is the baby that allows you to deploy and manage containers across a network of Docker hosts. I feel like we forgot how to build simple tools that do the job and not a thousand other unnecessary things.
I've started migrating some of my self-hosted web apps from my k8s cluster and I really enjoy it. Using the tool early on helps me better understand where the biggest pain points are and what I need to prioritise.
