A project, created by Leafd What is Hack Club?

Turn any Linux box into a private hosting platform.

What is Orchard?

A hosting platform you run on your own servers. Connect a GitHub repo, and Orchard builds it, runs it, and gives it a URL.

Real Kubernetes. No YAML.

  1. Zero-downtime deploys

    Ship in the middle of the day. Nobody notices.

  2. Self-healing

    Crash at 3am? It’s back up before you wake up.

  3. Postgres failover

    A dead database server doesn’t take your app down with it.

  4. Node maintenance

    Update and reboot your servers without planning downtime.

  5. Node pools

    Run AI apps on the GPU box and everything else on the cheap ones.

  6. Resource quotas

    One runaway app can’t slow down everyone else’s.

Never touch YAML again.

New to servers? You don’t need to be. Already know how? Skip the infra and just ship.

Ship from your terminal.

Type orchard up and your project is live. Check logs or roll back without leaving your terminal.

CLI reference

Your cluster, your orchard.

Run it on hardware you control, like Hack Club does.

  • Your data stays yours

    Your apps and databases live on machines you own. We never see any of it.

  • Costs nothing

    Orchard is free. You only pay for the machines you run it on.

  • Open source

    Every line of Orchard is public under the AGPL, and it always will be.
