# Ubicloud 
Ubicloud is an open source cloud that can run anywhere. Think of it as an open alternative
to cloud providers, like what Linux is to proprietary operating systems.
Ubicloud provides IaaS cloud features on bare metal providers, such as Hetzner, Leaseweb,
and AWS Bare Metal. You can set it up yourself on these providers or you can use our
managed service.
## What you can run
| Service | What you get |
|---------|--------------|
| **Virtual machines** | Linux VMs on Cloud Hypervisor, with public IPv4 and IPv6, private networking, and encrypted disks. |
| **Managed PostgreSQL** | The latest Postgres versions, with high availability (one or two standbys), read replicas, point-in-time restore, major version upgrades, PgBouncer, and metrics and log export. Runs on bare metal, AWS, and GCP. |
| **Kubernetes** | Managed Kubernetes clusters with node pools. |
| **GitHub Actions runners** | x64 and arm64 runners in standard and premium sizes. You switch by changing `runs-on`. |
| **AI inference** | Inference endpoints for open-weight models, with API keys and a playground. |
| **Networking** | Private subnets, firewalls, and load balancers. |
You can manage all of these from the cloud console,
the REST API (OpenAPI spec), the `ubi` CLI, or
Terraform.
## Quick start
### Managed platform
You can use Ubicloud without installing anything. When you do this, we pass along the
underlying provider's benefits to you, such as price or location.

### Build your own cloud
You can also build your own cloud. To do this, start up Ubicloud's control plane and
connect to its cloud console.
 [code] 
The control plane is responsible for cloudifying bare metal Linux machines.
The easiest way to build your own cloud is to lease instances from one of those
providers. For example: https://www.hetzner.com/sb
Once you lease instance(s), update the `.env` file with the following environment
variables:
- `HETZNER_USER`
- `HETZNER_PASSWORD`
- `HETZNER_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY`
- `HETZNER_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY`
To get the user credentials, create a user according to
these instructions.
The SSH key is the one you set when you created the robot server.
The first thing to make sure is you use the hetzner robot rescue system to
install ubuntu 24.04.
Then, run the following script for each instance to cloudify it.
Currently, the script cloudifies bare metal instances leased from Hetzner.
After you cloudify your instances, you can provision and manage cloud
resources on these machines.
 [code] 
Later when you create VMs, Ubicloud will assign them IPv6 addresses. If your ISP
doesn't support IPv6, please use a VPN or tunnel broker such as Mullvad or Hurricane
Electric's https://tunnelbroker.net/ to connect. Alternatively, you could lease
IPv4 addresses from your provider and add them to your control plane.
## Why use it
Public cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud have made life easier for
start-ups and enterprises. But they are closed source, have you rent
