Self-hosted software
Mostly homes
Photos, files, passwords, movies, notes, and the smart home, running on a small computer in your house instead of on a subscription.
Immich, Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, and more
We set up software that runs in your house or your shop instead of a data center, install security that answers to you and nobody else, build websites, and fix the electronics you already own. In person, close to home.
Illustrative. A typical family setup on a refurbished desktop. Shops run the same thing, bigger.
One idea behind them: you should own the technology you depend on.

The same six questions, answered their way and ours.
| Question | Their cloud | Under your roof |
|---|---|---|
| Where your data lives | A data center you will never see | A box in your closet |
| Who can read it | The company, its partners, and anyone with a subpoena | You, and whoever you hand a key to |
| When the internet goes out | Cameras, locks, and files go dark | Everything keeps working inside the house |
| When the company changes its mind | The price goes up, or the product is discontinued | Nothing changes. It is your hardware |
| What it costs over five years | A subscription, every month, forever | Hardware once, plus a little electricity |
| Getting your data out | An export tool, if they offer one | It is already on your drive |
Every one of their answers has happened to someone. Here is the record, dated and sourced.

Tell us what you are paying for and what bugs you. Fifteen minutes on the phone or at your kitchen table.
You get a written plan: what we would install, what it replaces, and what it costs. No surprises.
We bring the hardware, set it up, and move your data over. Watch, ask questions, or go about your day.
We show you how it works and leave written notes. When something breaks, call. We come back.
