Partial The dashboard, Docker deployment flows, and MCP connector are buildable, but a reliable multi-node cluster scheduler with encrypted networking is hard distributed-systems work.
What it would actually take: The UI, CLI, and MCP integration can be built on the Docker API. The hard parts are cluster membership and consensus, scheduling and failover across unreliable nodes, overlay networking with encryption, and secure secret handling. Building it well requires experienced distributed-systems and networking engineers, plus extensive testing under failure conditions.
