Welcome

Anyone can make a home server and take back control of their data.  Self-hosting can improve your digital privacy and security by keeping your data in your home.

Host a personal website, create your own private cloud, or build an online community. 

Modern open-source software can offer familiar online services and put you in complete control.

Through educational do-it-yourself guides we explore the hardware and software requirements for a home server, including quick-start examples. 

This process uses Debian Linux and Docker to quickly self-host your services through the browser-based interface.  You can access all your services while away from home using a secure web server or virtual private network.
