Modern open-source software can offer familiar online services and put you in complete control.  Start with affordable hardware like single-board computers, mini PCs or even a refurbished workstation computer.  Connect your server to the World Wide Web with a domain name and modern router.

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.
