The endless server‑sprawl problem

Modern software teams often juggle dozens—sometimes hundreds—of servers, containers, and micro‑services. Each new environment means another manual step: pulling code, building images, tagging versions, and finally deploying. The friction adds up, slows releases, and creates hidden operational costs. Traditional CI/CD platforms either charge per‑agent, impose usage caps, or lock you into proprietary ecosystems.

Enter Komodo 🦎—an open‑source, Rust‑powered platform that removes those limits. It lets you build auto‑versioned Docker images directly from your Git repositories, trigger builds on every push, and deploy containers (or full Docker Compose stacks) to any number of servers with a single command. Because it’s GPL‑v3, you keep full control, avoid vendor lock‑in, and enjoy the performance and safety guarantees of Rust.

Why Choose Komodo?

• Unlimited Scale, Zero License Fees – No “business edition” caps. Connect as many servers as you need without paying per‑agent.
• Rust‑Backed Reliability – The core API and periphery agents are written in Rust, delivering low latency, high concurrency, and memory safety.
• Full Docker Lifecycle – Automatic versioned image builds, Docker container deployment, Docker‑Compose orchestration, and real‑time uptime/logs across all nodes.
• Extensible Automation API – Unlimited API endpoints for custom automation; you can script any workflow you imagine.
• Self‑Hosted, Privacy‑First – All data stays on your infrastructure. No telemetry, no third‑party data collection.
• Community‑Driven & Transparent – GPL‑v3 license, open issue tracker, and an active Discord community for support.

Spotlight on Key Features

Getting Started

Komodo ships as a set of binaries (the core API server and periphery agents) and a Docker image for quick testing. Below is a minimal setup for a local development environment.

1. Install the CLI (via Cargo)

cargo install komodo-cli

If you don’t have Rust installed, follow the instructions on https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install.

2. Run the Core Server (Docker)

docker run -d \
  --name komodo-core \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \
  moghtech/komodo:latest

The server will be reachable at http://localhost:8080.

3. Register a Periphery Agent on a Target Server

On each server you wish to manage:

curl -L https://github.com/moghtech/komodo/releases/download/v0.1.0/komodo-agent-linux-amd64 -o komodo-agent
chmod +x komodo-agent
./komodo-agent --server http://<core-ip>:8080 register --name my-server-01

The agent will establish a secure channel with the core API and appear in the UI.

4. Connect a Git Repository

komodo-cli repo add \
  --url https://github.com/yourorg/yourapp.git \
  --branch main \
  --build-context ./ \
  --dockerfile Dockerfile

Komodo will now watch the repository and trigger builds on each push.

5. Deploy a Container

komodo-cli deploy \
  --repo yourapp \
  --image yourapp:latest \
  --servers my-server-01,my-server-02 \
  --port 8080

Visit the UI at http://localhost:8080 to watch the deployment roll out, view logs, and confirm uptime.

How Komodo Stacks Up Against Proprietary Alternatives

Bottom line: If you need a purely self‑hosted, Rust‑powered solution that scales without licensing constraints, Komodo delivers the same core capabilities as Jenkins or GitHub Actions while keeping your data on‑premise and your costs at zero.
