  • Show HN: We moved from AWS to Hetzner, saved 90%, kept ISO 27001 with Ansible
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Jun 2025
    We're in the process of migrating away from azure. Currently lots of cloudflare, but also some stuff runs on Hetzner.

    If I manage to get https://uncloud.run/ or something similar up & running, the platform will no longer matter, whether it's OVH, Hetzner, Azure, AWS, GCP, ... It should all be possible & easy to switch... #FamousLastWords

  • What Would a Kubernetes 2.0 Look Like

    > I'd want k8s-lite, that was more opinionated and less flexible

    You seem to want something like https://skateco.github.io/ (still compatible to k8s manifests).

    Or maybe even something like https://uncloud.run/

    Or if you still want real certified Kubernetes, but small, there is https://k3s.io/

  • Ask HN: What are you working on? (April 2025)

    Working on Uncloud [1] — open source tool for self-hosting containerised apps across multiple machines. You can combine cloud VMs and on-premises to create hybrid compute environments, e.g. for cost optimisation or data privacy.

    While Kubernetes offers power at the cost of complexity, Uncloud focuses on simplicity for common deployment workflows.

    Progress from this month:

    - Enhanced Docker Compose support: You can now deploy your entire stack from standard Docker Compose files. This includes volumes, environment variables, resource limits, scaling and logging configuration.

    - Volume management: Create and manage Docker volumes across your cluster with automatic scheduling based on volume location.

    - Context management: CLI command to quickly switch between multiple clusters, e.g. homelab and production one

    I'm particularly excited about the volume management system as it provides the cluster semantics to the good old Docker volumes. It uses a constraint-based scheduler that ensures services sharing volumes are properly co-located.

    If you're seeking something between "just Docker" and full Kubernetes for deploying applications on your own infrastructure, I'd love to get your feedback on Uncloud.

    - 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.

    Working on https://github.com/psviderski/uncloud (https://uncloud.run) — think Fly.io but self-hosted. A lightweight Docker clustering tool for running web apps on your own servers (from cloud VMs to bare metal) with no control plane to maintain. Perfect for teams who want cloud-like deployments without Kubernetes complexity. Early days but seeing promising results with eventually consistent state sync, zero-config mesh networking, and automatic HTTPS ingress.
