A control plane for the hardware you already own

Kumo is a self-hosted control plane for applications, virtual machines, databases, and CI pipelines. Point it at a server you control, click through a form, and get production workloads — without wiring up proprietary APIs or renting someone else's region.

What Kumo is

One dashboard for compute, ingress, data, and pipelines. From a single place you can:

• Deploy container applications or full virtual machines (Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky, Alma) with snapshots, backups, and resize built in.
• Run managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, or MongoDB with auto-generated credentials and optional read replicas.
• Build from GitHub, ship to GHCR or your own registry, and route custom domains with automatic TLS.
• Toggle metrics and logs on when you need them, and invite teammates with workspace-scoped roles.

The philosophy

Kumo is built around a few convictions:

• No vendor lock-in. Open-source virtualization and routing sit under the hood — nothing proprietary keeps you from walking away.
• Flat, predictable cost. You run on a box you already own. No egress meters, no per-hour balancer charges, no surprise bill at the end of the month.
• Your data stays on your box. Workloads and their data live wherever the server lives. Kumo the software doesn't route your data through us.
• Fewer moving parts. No SPA to learn and no IAM maze. Bring a server and Kumo wires up the rest.

Who it's for

Kumo is for teams and operators who want the ergonomics of a modern cloud console on infrastructure they control — homelabs, on-prem racks, or a VPS you already pay for. If you'd rather own the bill and the box than rent them, Kumo is built for you.

See it running

The fastest way to understand Kumo is to watch it stand up real workloads on real hardware. Book a demo and we'll walk through your kind of workloads live.
