Welcome

It's easier than ever to host your own personal cloud and websites using a home server.  Through free, open-source software you can replicate many paid services while also improving digital privacy and security. 

Requirements

Depending on your needs, these components can range from refurbished and commodity hardware all the way to a purpose-built server.

  • Computer: Provides the foundation for hosting your own services.
  • Router: Handles traffic between your server and the outside internet.
  • Domain: Forwards requests from the outside internet to your home server.
  • Internet: The connection between your server and the world wide web.
Process

We need to install Linux onto our computer to form a foundation.  We will use Docker to create secure, self-contained "virtual machines"
