Public beta · 30 November 2026

Own your cloud. Rent nothing.

Unrent deploys your apps and databases to Linux servers you own, from a hosted console. An agent on each server connects out, runs only signed, typed jobs, and waits for your passkey before anything destructive.

What you get

Everything a product runs on. On a server with your name on the bill.

You pay your provider for servers and storage. The first server is free, then $2 per server per month, with nothing gated.

  • Deploy

    Images or GitHub builds, a health check before traffic moves, rollback by digest, environments and promotion.

  • Databases

    Postgres 17 and 18 with point-in-time recovery, MySQL 8.4 and Valkey 9.1, backups verified in your own bucket.

  • Security

    No SSH keys, no inbound access, signed jobs, secrets sealed in your browser, passkeys for destructive changes.

  • Domains and TLS

    A free unrent.page address for every service, and custom domains with certificates once DNS proves ownership.

  • Logs, metrics, alerts

    Live logs redacted on the server, 30 days of metrics, 16 alert rules by email or signed webhook.

  • AI and MCP

    Explain this failure with your own model key, and an MCP server where every change waits for a passkey.

Three steps

From a fresh server to a live app.

  1. 01

    Connect a server

    Paste one command on a server running Ubuntu 24.04 or 26.04, or Debian 12 or 13 (amd64 or arm64), or let Unrent create one in your own cloud account.

  2. 02

    Add a service

    Pick an image or a GitHub repository with a Dockerfile. Add variables; secrets are sealed in your browser.

  3. 03

    Deploy

    Unrent pulls or builds, starts the new release, health-checks it and only then switches traffic.

Install the agent
curl -fsSL https://get.unrent.dev/install.sh | sudo sh -s -- --token <one-time token>

The installer checks the release’s SHA-256 against its manifest and SHA256SUMS before it writes anything. How it works.

Agents welcome

Let your coding agent operate. Nothing changes without your passkey.

Connect Claude Code, or another MCP client, to Unrent’s MCP server. Your agent can read servers, services, deployments, logs and metrics, and ask for deploys, rollbacks, restarts, stops and starts.

Every change it asks for becomes a signed job held for approval. It runs only after a person approves that exact job with a passkey.

  1. Your agent asksdeploy · production/web
  2. Unrent signs the job and holds itNothing is sent to the server yet
  3. You approve with your passkeyYour passkey signs this exact job
  4. Your server checks, then actsThe agent verifies every signature

Backups you can prove

A backup counts once it has been restored.

Postgres archives every change to storage at another provider, so you can restore to any second inside your backup window. A backup only counts once Unrent has listed and read it back in your bucket.

  • Restore drills that restore to a point in time and check the rows, the indexes and the connections
  • Restore to a read-only scratch copy without touching production
  • Promote a restore with a passkey; the old database is kept for up to 30 days
  • An alert when a backup is late, fails, or a drill fails

Coming Drills on a weekly schedule. Today you start them from the console, and they run on the server.

No lock-in

If Unrent is down, your apps are not.

  • Workloads keep running

    Apps, databases, cron jobs, backups and certificate renewals run on your server, not in our cloud.

  • Standard parts

    Docker containers, Caddy, Postgres with WAL-G. Remove the agent and everything keeps serving.

  • Your bill, your account

    Servers and buckets stay in your own provider accounts. We never mark them up.

Questions

What is Unrent?

Unrent is a hosted control plane for servers you own. It deploys apps, Postgres with point-in-time recovery, MySQL, Valkey, cron jobs and domains with TLS, through an agent that connects out from your server, runs only signed, typed jobs and waits for your passkey before anything destructive.

What does Unrent cost?

The first server is free, then $2 per server per month, with nothing gated. Your servers, storage and model usage are billed by your own providers.

What happens if Unrent goes down, or shuts down?

Your apps, databases, cron jobs, backups and certificate renewals keep running on your servers. You lose the console until it is back. If you leave, uninstall the agent and your workloads stay.

Can Unrent get into my servers?

No. The agent connects out and there is no remote shell. Unrent can only send typed, signed jobs, and anything destructive needs a passkey approval that your server checks itself.

Which servers work?

Any server running Ubuntu 24.04 or 26.04, or Debian 12 or 13 (amd64 or arm64), at any provider, with Docker Engine 27 or newer. Unrent can also create servers for you on Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, Akamai (Linode), Scaleway or UpCloud.

Your servers, your keys. Start with one free server.
