Everything you need

One platform. All your workflows.

Deploy from any folder

Run distribute . from any project. The CLI detects your stack, packages only what matters, and streams it to your server. Pick from existing deployments or name a new one — no config files required.

Auto-detects Node, Python, PHP, Docker, React, Next.js, Vue, Angular
Smart packaging — skips node_modules, build caches, media files
Interactive app picker — redeploy existing or create new
Custom domains with automatic SSL via Let's Encrypt
Zero-downtime blue/green container swap on every update

Expose local servers instantly

Share your dev environment with a client, test webhooks, or demo a prototype without deploying. distribute http 3000 creates a secure public URL in seconds.

HTTP tunnels for web apps — React, Vue, Angular, Next.js all work
TCP tunnels for databases — PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, SSH
TLS tunnels for SSL-wrapped protocols — HTTPS, AMQPS, MQTTS
Automatic HTML rewriting — assets, fetch() calls, redirects all proxied correctly
HMR neutralized gracefully — pages load without live reload errors

Terminal inside every deployed app

Each deployed app has a live shell directly in the dashboard. Run migrations, inspect logs, debug processes, or install packages — all from the browser, no SSH needed.

Full shell access via HTTP polling — works through any proxy
Starts in the app's working directory automatically
Ctrl+C support to interrupt running processes
No WebSocket dependency — reliable on all networks and CDNs

Turn any web app into a PWA

Paste a URL and Distribute analyzes the site, generates a complete PWA package — manifest, service worker, icons — and bundles it for Android and iOS. No Xcode or Android Studio required.

Auto-generates Web App Manifest with correct theme colors and icons
Creates service worker with offline-first caching strategy
Produces installable APK for Android sideloading
Builds iOS-compatible Capacitor project ready to submit
Detects framework: React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, plain HTML

# Dashboard → PWA Builder
# URL: https://myapp.distribute.app

  Analyzing site…
  ✓ Framework: Next.js
  ✓ Manifest generated
  ✓ Service worker created
  ✓ 6 icon sizes generated

Full app lifecycle control

Start, stop, restart, and delete apps from the dashboard. Stopping an app removes it from Traefik routing immediately — no dangling containers serving stale responses.

One-click start, stop, restart per app from the dashboard
Stop removes from Traefik — zero traffic leakage to offline apps
Admin panel lists all Traefik instances with one-click kill
Domain uniqueness enforced — no two apps can share a custom domain
Version history — roll back to any previous deployment

# Dashboard app controls

Supported Stacks

Zero-configuration support for the tools you love. Optimized, containerized, and globally accessible by default.

10+ Runtime Environments

Docker

Node.js

Python

React

Vue.js

Next.js

Angular

Static HTML

PHP

Any TCP/TLS

Engineered for Simplicity

Automatic SSL + Custom Domains

Every app gets a free SSL certificate the moment DNS propagates. Domain uniqueness is enforced — no two apps can ever share the same address.

∞Domains

<2mSSL Issuance

0Config files

Zero-Downtime Updates

Blue/green container swap on every deploy. Old container stays live while the new image builds. Your app never drops a request.

Team Collaboration

Invite collaborators with role-based access. Admins manage infrastructure. Developers deploy without touching the server.
