Making BYOC and on-prem deployments easy for everyone

[Philip Miglinci @pmigat]

i am curating a list of awesome #mcp infra tools on GitHub. Which one is missing?

Before Distr, @sophrisai relied on customer IT teams to deploy their software. The result? Delays, misconfigurations, and slow iteration.

Now:
🚀 Docker-compose based deployments
⚙️ Easy updates
🙅 Minimal IT involvement

“Updates that took days now take minutes.” – CTO, Sophris

Glasskube Offsite 2025: Turns out you can ship on a lake ⛵

One week of prototyping, experimentation, jetskis, late-night jams & tighter feedback loops. Remote work’s great, but being together? Even better. Let’s build!

[Louis Weston @thekubernaut]

The Glasskube 2025 offsite is in full swing.
Lakeside, laptops out, whiteboards full, even a fully kitted makeshift office.

We're reflecting, planning, and experimenting with new ideas as a team (it’s more fun that way).

Stay tuned. For now, it’s Jetski time 🛥️

[glasskube.dev @glasskube]

Yes, you can self-host the self-hosting platform. 😅

Deploy Distr in your own environment with minimal setup:
📦 Docker Compose
☸️ Helm for K8s
🛠️ Just Postgres (+ optional S3)
🔒 Enterprise support ready

Excited to talk about software distribution at @KCDCzechSlovak! @pmigat will be on stage sharing insights on common challenges, packaging, and how to distribute software into complex environments. See you in Bratislava tomorrow!

This hybrid model offers:

• Easier deployments
• Data sovereignty & compliance
• Lower data transfer costs • Better support for AI/security use cases

[Louis Weston @thekubernaut]

At Distr, we’re building open source tools to help vendors support CloudPrem, BYOC, and on-prem setups — with automation and minimal overhead.

[Louis Weston @thekubernaut]

CloudPrem separates concerns:

🔹 Control plane (updates, orchestration) → vendor-managed
🔹 Data plane (compute, data) → stays on the customer’s infrastructure

It blends SaaS-like convenience with on-prem control.

[Louis Weston @thekubernaut]

Over the last decade, SaaS became the default for companies.

But for industries dealing with sensitive data or strict compliance, it’s not always a fit.

A more flexible model is gaining traction: CloudPrem

[glasskube.dev @glasskube]

Not all teams that deploy software are the ones that operate it.

That’s why we’ve been working on a deployment model that fits real-world org structures.

We call it Assisted Self-Managed.

Here’s how it works

🚀 Launch Week – Day 5: Docs Upgrade

We’ve overhauled the Distr docs to focus on simplicity, clarity, and a better developer experience.

Now powered by Starlight instead of Docusaurus, with a new structure and clearer guides for every step.
