Distr

Ship self-hosted software. Start simple, scale as you go

Visit Distr

Distr is an open-source software distribution platform for vendors delivering software into customer-controlled environments, including VPC, BYOC, on-premises, GovCloud, and air-gapped installations. It addresses the operational work that follows the first install: onboarding, access, updates, observability, troubleshooting, and customer-facing workflows. The platform is built by Glasskube and is available as Distr Cloud or self-hosted.

Distr provides Docker Compose and Helm/Kubernetes deployment agents, a white-labeled Customer Portal, license and entitlement management, signed license keys, registry distribution with fine-grained access control, deployment status metrics, live container metrics, logs, alerts, and support bundles. It also supports air-gapped deployments via Zarf, GitHub release automation, pre/post install scripts, vulnerability management, and enterprise SSO options including OIDC and SAML.

Distr is aimed at software vendors and AI companies operating self-hosted deployments. Pricing is based on internal users and customer organizations, with monthly or yearly billing. A free open-source Community Edition is available for local use and first customer installs; paid Pro, Business, and Enterprise editions can be self-hosted or run on Distr Cloud.
