Private home server
Your data and apps, on hardware you control
We plan and build home servers that replace scattered cloud subscriptions with something you own: media, backups, files, and self-hosted applications in one place—with room to grow.
Typical capabilities
- Platform selection and sizing (for example Unraid or ZFS-based builds) matched to your workloads, not oversold on specs you will never use.
- Docker and application hosting for the services you want—documented so upgrades and troubleshooting are straightforward.
- Media libraries with sensible transcoding, storage layout, and network paths so streaming stays smooth on your LAN.
- Backups and snapshots with clear retention: what is protected, how often, and where copies live (including off-site when appropriate).
- File sync and sharing (e.g. Nextcloud-style workflows) for families and home offices without sending everything through a third-party silo.
- Secure remote access paired with your network design—VPN or tightly scoped exposure, not “open every port.”
How we work with you
Engagements usually run from requirements through hardware guidance, install, migration assistance, and handoff. We care about operability six months later: naming, shares, alerts, and a short runbook so you are not dependent on memory alone.
Good fits
- Households ready to consolidate photos, media, and backups onto one well-run machine.
- Tinkerers who want Docker without spending every weekend on yak shaving.
- Anyone tired of paying monthly for capabilities that are modest at the infrastructure level.
