Deploy your infrastructure in 4 steps

Deploy your own private cloud infrastructure in minutes, without any DevOps expertise.

What You Get#

With Siovos Desktop, you deploy a complete infrastructure on your own server:

  • Private cloud with Kubernetes
  • Secure VPN to access your services from anywhere
  • Docker registry to store your applications
  • Database ready to use
  • SSL certificates for secure connections

All managed through a simple desktop application.

2. Download & Install#

Go to our download page and get the app for your system (macOS, Windows, or Linux). Install it like any other application.

You can also install the certificate later from My Infrastructures → select your server → Actions tab → "Install Root CA".
