RunOS is Now Open to Everyone
We're opening the doors. Anyone can now sign up for RunOS and start using the platform. Just create an account and go.
And here's the thing: it's free. We're not charging anything for the foreseeable future. Create as many clusters as you want. Add as many nodes as you need. It's all yours.
Sign up however you want
Use your Google account, GitHub account, or just a good old email and password. Whatever works for you.
Why free?
We're building something we genuinely believe in. And right now, what we need most isn't revenue. It's feedback.
We want to know what you need. What's working. What's not. What features are missing. The only way to figure that out is to get the platform in front of as many people as possible and listen.
So don't worry about pricing or tiers or any of that. Just use it. Build things. Tell us what you think.
What can you do with it?
Pretty much anything you'd want from a cloud platform, but on your own hardware.
- Deploy 20+ services with a few clicks: PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, ClickHouse, and more
- Push your code and watch it build and deploy automatically
- Spin up AI workloads through Ollama
- Create multiple clusters for different projects or environments
Want to quickly see how ClickHouse works? A few clicks and you've got a running instance. Curious about running local AI models with Ollama? Same deal. Got a Vite app you want deployed somewhere? Push it to your RunOS cluster and it's live.
Get your feet wet with Kubernetes
Here's something cool: if you've been curious about Kubernetes but intimidated by the learning curve, this is a great way to start.
RunOS handles all the hard parts. You don't need to learn kubectl or write YAML files. But under the hood, it's real Kubernetes. You can poke around, see how things work, and gradually learn more as you get comfortable.
And it's your cluster. You have full control. Break it, bend it, experiment with whatever you want. If things go sideways, just reset and start fresh. Quick and easy.
Try it on your own machine
Run a virtual machine with Ubuntu 24.04 Server on your laptop using any virtualization tool (VMware, VirtualBox, Parallels, whatever you've got). Add that VM as a node in RunOS. That's it. You've got a working Kubernetes cluster on your local machine.
We've tested this with several virtualization providers and it works great. No cloud instances needed just to experiment. And if you run into any issues, let us know and we'll fix it right away.
Of course, if you want more power, grab a cheap VPS from any provider. There are plenty of affordable options around the globe. A small server is more than enough to start exploring what RunOS can do.
Coming soon: the RunOS CLI
We're very close to launching the RunOS CLI. This will let you define your infrastructure and deployments as code. Think of it as the next step beyond clicking around in the console.
But that's coming soon. In the meantime, everything you need is already in the web console.
We're here to stay
Yes, we're still in beta. Yes, things might break occasionally. But we want to be clear: RunOS isn't going anywhere.
We're committed to this project. We've been building it because we genuinely believe infrastructure should be simpler. The whole point of RunOS is to give you cloud-like services on any hardware you choose, so you're never locked into a single vendor. You can move between providers as your needs change. Your infrastructure stays yours.
We're looking for the community to come along on this journey with us. The more people using the platform and giving us feedback, the better we can make it for everyone.
What we're building towards
The goal has always been simple: give you the power of cloud services without the lock-in. Run on your own hardware, any Linux server, anywhere in the world. Switch providers whenever you want. Keep full control of your data and your infrastructure.
That's the vision. And with your help, we'll get there.
Come build with us.
