Simple Control Ops

Two products for running real hardware. One small company behind both.

DisplayOps turns Raspberry Pis into managed screens. Simple Docker Ops turns the Compose file you already have into a managed fleet. Same principles, same people, one place to get help.

Products

Pick the one that matches the problem. Or both.

They share a design system, an agent protocol and a support inbox, but each is its own product with its own account and pricing.

DisplayOps

Managed displays for dashboards, kiosks and always-on screens.

Flash the image on a Raspberry Pi, pair it from the portal, point it at a URL or media. Schedules run on the device, the portal shows what every screen is showing right now.

  • One flashable image for Raspberry Pi 3B+, 4 and 5
  • Pair with a code, no keyboard or SSH on the device
  • Web pages, media, messages and schedules per screen or group
  • Screenshots, health and remote reboot from the portal

Free for 3 screens. Plus from $10 a month.

Simple Docker Ops

Docker Compose fleet management for Raspberry Pi, mini PCs and Linux edge devices.

Keep your Linux and Docker Engine, install one agent, and turn the Compose file you already have into releases, staged rollouts, health gates and rollback across a physical fleet.

  • Your docker-compose.yml, pinned to image digests
  • Rollouts in waves with health gates and automatic rollback
  • Works for devices that are offline for days
  • Encrypted secrets and private registries per fleet

Free for 5 devices. Developer from $10 a month.

How we build

The same four rules in both products

1

Your hardware, your OS

Raspberry Pi, mini PCs, whatever Linux you already run. Agents connect outbound; nothing listens on the device and nothing needs a proprietary operating system.

2

Conservative on purpose

A broken screen in a lobby or a broken release at fifty sites is a truck roll. Rollouts are staged, health is checked, rollback is automatic, and schedules keep running when the cloud is unreachable.

3

Priced for small fleets

Real free tiers, transparent monthly plans from $10, and nothing that requires a sales call. Built for the 5 to 500 range that bigger platforms price out.

4

One inbox, real people

Every product, every question, one address: support@simplecontrolops.com. Billing, bugs, feature requests and security reports all land with the people who build the products.

Which one?

A quick way to decide

You have screens

Dashboards, menu boards, lobby signage, a wall of monitoring, a kiosk. You want each screen to show the right thing and to know when one goes dark.

That is DisplayOps

You have containers on devices

A gateway, a sensor box, a point-of-sale unit, a mini PC in a cabinet. It runs Docker Compose and you need to ship updates to many of them without breaking any.

That is Simple Docker Ops

Running both? They are separate accounts today. Tell us if a shared login would help you and we will prioritise it.

Need a hand with either product?

One address reaches the people who build them. Billing questions too: card statements read DISPLAYOPS or SIMPLE DOCKER OPS.
