Self-hosted PaaS.
Commitless deploys.

One file describes the running system.

HCL out-of-the-box. No YAML to coerce, no Compose tricks, no chart-of-charts. Apps, ingress, and stateful services share the same shape — and the same blast radius.

// Ship a web app with TLS + 3 replicas behind a load balancer.
app "myapp" "web" {
  image    = "ghcr.io/myorg/myapp:latest"
  replicas = 3

  env = {
    PORT     = "8080"
    NODE_ENV = "production"
  }

  health_check = "/healthz"
  host         = "myapp.example.com"

  tls {
    email = "ops@example.com"
  }
}

// HA Redis: primary + sentinel cluster, declared, not orchestrated.
redis "clowk-lp" "redis" {
  replicas = 3
}

redis "clowk-lp" "redis-ha" {
  sentinel {
    monitor = "clowk-lp/redis"
  }
}

Laptop talks. Server reconciles.

The CLI streams your build context over SSH. The controller diffs it against embedded etcd, builds, swaps, and reroutes. It's k8s-shaped reconciliation without the k8s-shaped operations bill.

A small, k8s-shaped command surface.

Six verbs cover ~95% of day-to-day. Everything else is a plugin discovered from /opt/voodu/plugins.

Built on boring, well-loved parts.

Voodu is opinionated where it counts and pluggable where you'd want it to be. Postgres, Mongo, Redis, ingress — independent binaries, not a rewritten universe.
