Your own cloud — with real everyday value

Behind the tech is a simple idea: the same services you would otherwise rent from big providers run here on your own hardware. Same convenience, full data sovereignty, no subscription.

Same convenience as the cloud — on your own hardware, without a subscription.

Scan paper, automatic text recognition and tagging — the paperless, searchable archive for invoices and contracts.

Jellyfin — media library

Your own film and music collection on the TV, the phone and in the browser — sorted, with cover art and resume playback, and nobody removes a title from the catalogue overnight.

Linkwarden — bookmarks

Saved links are archived as a copy as well. Whatever later disappears from the web stays readable in your own archive — searchable and tagged.

Home Assistant — smart home

Lights, heating and sensors controlled centrally and locally — vendor-neutral, no forced cloud, with automations for everyday life.

Open WebUI — local AI

A language model runs on the workstation’s graphics card and is used through Open WebUI, just like a well-known AI chat. It may search the knowledge base, the wiki, the internal portal and the document archive — but read-only, through a dedicated write-protected interface. Questions and documents never leave the house.
