Imbue has launched Cloud in a Bottle, an open-source personal-cloud platform for running containerized web applications. The platform routes web requests to rootless, hardened containers and provides unified authentication, with optional features for permissioned data and capability access between apps.

Imbue says it built and tested the service privately for more than six months and will offer both self-hosted and managed versions using the same code. The company says the curated app catalog is still small, and early users will likely need technical familiarity or a coding agent.
