Why DockHive
A cloud that runs itself, on a network nobody owns.
01
Agents do the ops
Drone reads your code, builds and deploys it, and fixes problems along the way. You stay in your editor.
02
Compute from a network
Workloads run on a decentralized network of nodes rather than inside one hyperscaler's data centers.
03
Your code stays yours
Env vars you set in DockHive are encrypted at rest. Every push to GitHub redeploys.
New · Drone
Write code. Push it.
Click Drone.
Drone is the AI deploy agent. It reads your code, builds your app and deploys it, fixing problems along the way so it goes live.
1
Read
Reads your code. No config to write.
2
Build
Builds your app and tells you if it needs any env vars.
3
Fix
Fixes problems along the way and retries until it is live.
4
Live
Goes live on <app>.dockhive.app with HTTPS.

Zero config
Drone reads your code and builds your app. No config files to write.
Fixes problems for you
If something goes wrong, Drone fixes it along the way and retries until your app is live.
Live with HTTPS
Your app goes live on <app>.dockhive.app with HTTPS, no certificates to manage.
Push to redeploy
Once you are live, every GitHub push redeploys automatically.
Your secrets stay safe
Env vars you set in DockHive are encrypted at rest.
Drone tells you which env vars your app needs; you supply the values in DockHive, not in a committed .env file. Once it is live, every GitHub push redeploys.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Anything else?
Talk to the team
.
What is DockHive?
DockHive is an agentic, decentralized AI cloud platform. AI agents like Drone deploy and run your software, and the compute comes from a decentralized network of nodes rather than a single hyperscaler.
What does Drone actually do?
You push code and click Drone. It reads your code, builds your app and deploys it, fixing problems along the way until it's live on <app>.dockhive.app with HTTPS. If your app needs env vars, Drone tells you which ones. After that, every GitHub push redeploys.
Does Drone see my secrets?
Drone never reads .env or other secret files, and the env var values you set in DockHive are encrypted at rest. Keep secrets out of your repo: don't commit .env files, set the values in DockHive instead.
Can my AI agent deploy to DockHive?
Yes. The hivepod CLI includes an MCP server. Install it with curl -fsSL https://dockhive.io/install.sh | sh, run hivepod login, then connect Claude Code with claude mcp add dockhive -- hivepod mcp. For Claude Desktop, Cursor and Windsurf, hivepod mcp --print-config prints the JSON to paste in. Secrets and .env files are never uploaded, and deleting apps or pods needs your explicit confirmation.
What are HivePods?
Cloud dev environments in seconds. Pick an OS and a size and you get a full Linux environment, reachable from a browser terminal or the hivepod CLI. Each pod gets its own address at name.dockhive.sh.
What is DockHive Tunnel?
DockHive Tunnel exposes an app running on your own computer at a public HTTPS address on name.dockhive.live. Install the dockhive CLI, run dockhive login, then dockhive expose 3000. No port forwarding or public IP needed.
What is Hive Buckets?
S3-compatible object storage for your app's files: uploads, images, backups and build artifacts. It works with the AWS CLI, boto3, the AWS SDKs, Laravel, Django and rclone. Every plan includes storage, uploads are free and there are no request fees.
How does pricing work?
There's a Free Tier, a Developer Plan at $3/month, a Pro Plan at $15/month and a Scale Plan through sales. Usage beyond the Developer and Pro allowances is billed at $2 per vCPU-month (billed by the hour) of compute, $0.10 per GB-month of database storage, $0.02 per GB-month of Hive Buckets storage, $0.02 per GB of bandwidth and $0.05 per build hour.
Can I contribute compute to the network?
Yes. Node operators run DockHive nodes that supply compute to the network. Node Explorer shows the network and is where you start.
Push your code. Let the agents take it from here.
Start on the Free Tier and deploy your first app with Drone.
