Container runtime. VM management. Content-addressed storage. OCI registry. Mesh networking. GitOps. All in a single binary with zero dependencies.
Volt uses what the kernel already provides. systemd-nspawn for container isolation, QEMU/KVM for VMs, Landlock for security. No containerd. No runc. No daemon.
One binary replaces your container runtime, VM manager, registry client, and orchestration tools. No daemon process. No background services eating RAM. Just a CLI that does exactly what you tell it.
systemd-nspawn containers launch in under 50ms. No daemon startup, no layer extraction. Your process runs immediately.
Every container is isolated with Landlock LSM kernel-level security. No manual policy writing. Security is the default, not an afterthought.
Define multi-service applications declaratively. Containers, VMs, networking, and storage — all described in one file, deployed with one command.
Stellarium stores data by content hash. Identical files across containers are stored exactly once. This means massive deduplication, cryptographic verification at every layer, and storage that scales efficiently.
Store each unique blob once. 100 containers sharing the same base image? That image is stored one time. Storage costs drop dramatically.
Pro and Enterprise tiers distribute CAS across clusters. Content is available where it's needed, replicated automatically, verified cryptographically.
Enterprise tier replicates CAS data across regions. Multi-datacenter deployments share a unified, deduplicated content store.
Volt includes a full ORAS-compliant OCI registry. Pull images from any public registry. Push your own artifacts with Pro. No external registry service required.
Full OCI distribution specification support. Pull container images, Helm charts, WASM modules — any OCI artifact — directly through Volt.
Artifacts are edge-cached globally via CDN. Fast pulls from anywhere in the world. Included free with any paid plan.
Registry storage is backed by Stellarium CAS. Deduplication means you only pay for unique content. 10GB included free with paid plans.
Run containers and VMs side by side with a single CLI. VoltVisor manages QEMU/KVM virtual machines using the Neutron Stardust microVMM for lightweight, fast-booting VMs.
Purpose-built micro virtual machine monitor. Fast boot times, minimal overhead, integrated with Volt's storage and networking stack.
Run containers inside VMs, VMs alongside containers, or mix and match. One unified networking and storage layer for all workloads.
Pre-configured VM profiles for common workloads. Database servers, CI runners, legacy apps — launch the right VM config with a single command.
WireGuard-based mesh networking connects your workloads across nodes. Built-in GitOps integration keeps your infrastructure in sync with your repository.
Encrypted peer-to-peer networking between nodes. Containers and VMs communicate securely across any network topology.
Define your infrastructure in Git. Push changes, and Volt reconciles the desired state automatically. Audit trail included.
Scale beyond a single node with Volt clustering. Distributed scheduling, shared storage, and unified management across your fleet.
Install in 60 seconds. Run your first container immediately. Free Community tier — no credit card required.
