Choose a Stack or Build Your Own
Browse the marketplace for pre-built stacks (n8n, Portainer, Mailu, WordPress, and 50+ others) or open the Stack Builder to compose a custom multi-service architecture.
How It Works
From Idea to Running Infrastructure in Four Steps
TryDirect deploys multi-container Docker stacks to your cloud in four steps: choose a stack, connect a cloud account, configure variables, and deploy. Use a pre-built template from the marketplace or design your own architecture in the Stack Builder.
Four steps to a production-ready stack
Whether you are shipping an AI agent pipeline, a SaaS backend, or a WordPress cluster, the workflow is the same.
Connect Your Cloud Provider
Link your preferred cloud account - AWS, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, or any VPS with SSH access - so TryDirect can provision resources on your behalf.
Configure and Deploy
Set environment variables, pick instance sizes, enable SSL, and hit Deploy. TryDirect generates Docker Compose files and provisions your server automatically.
Monitor, Scale, and Iterate
Use the built-in dashboard to track container health, view logs, and redeploy updates. Save your configuration as a reusable blueprint for future projects.
What happens behind the scenes
When you click Deploy, TryDirect orchestrates every step - from generating the Docker Compose blueprint to provisioning the server and running health checks.

Built for real-world deployments
TryDirect is built for multi-container architectures. Compose, deploy, and operate full application stacks — app, database, cache, queue, and workers — as a single auditable, repeatable unit.
- Multi-container by default - Model full architectures (app + DB + workers + cache + queue) as a single deployable unit.
- Your cloud, your servers - Deploy to AWS, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, or your own bare-metal machine.
- Visual Stack Builder - Drag and drop services in the browser to build your stack — no manual Docker Compose YAML editing required.
- Reusable blueprints - Save once, redeploy for every new project, client, or environment.
- SSL & security baked in- Auto-provision Let's Encrypt certificates and enable monitoring during deployment.
- Open-source CLI - the Stacker CLI runs the same deployments locally or in CI/CD pipelines.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need DevOps experience to use TryDirect?
No. TryDirect abstracts away Dockerfiles, Compose syntax, and server provisioning. You pick services, configure them visually, and deploy with one click.
Which cloud providers does TryDirect support?
TryDirect supports AWS, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, Alibaba Cloud, UpCloud, and any Linux VPS you can SSH into.
Can I deploy the same stack to multiple servers?
Yes. Every stack is a reusable blueprint. Deploy it once to staging and again to production - or to entirely different cloud providers - without changing settings.
Is TryDirect open source?
The deployment CLI is open source. The web platform, Stack Builder, and marketplace are hosted services with free and paid tiers.
How long does a typical deployment take?
Most multi-container stacks deploy in under five minutes, including SSL certificate provisioning, database initialization, and health checks.
