Wild Cloud is your community's digital home—a complete toolkit for running your own cloud services, together.

Think of it as a community center for your digital life. Email, file storage, calendars, chat, video calls, websites—all the tools communities actually need, running on computers you control.

## What Makes It Special

**It's yours.** When you run Wild Cloud, you own it. No one can change the terms, raise the prices, or shut you down. Your community's digital home actually belongs to your community.

**It's affordable.** Communities running their own infrastructure often spend less than they would on commercial subscriptions—and the money stays local instead of flowing to distant corporations.

**It brings people together.** Something unexpected happens when communities build their own technology: neighbors meet each other. Setting up Wild Cloud becomes a reason to learn together, help each other, and build something you're proud of.

**It grows with you.** Start small—even a single computer. Add more services and more capacity as your community grows. The same foundation works for a family, a small organization, or a whole neighborhood.

## What You Can Do

With Wild Cloud, your community can:

- **Send email** that no one else is reading
- **Share files** without corporate surveillance  
- **Coordinate calendars** for your organization
- **Chat and video call** on your own terms
- **Host websites** for your community's projects
- **Collaborate on documents** without sending everything to the cloud

And because it's all open source, you can see exactly how it works, change what you need, and share improvements with other communities.

## Who It's For

Wild Cloud works for all kinds of neighbors:

- **Families** who want to share photos and stay connected without Big Tech watching
- **Small organizations** who need professional tools without enterprise prices
- **Community groups** who want a digital home that reflects their values
- **Activists and advocates** who need secure, independent infrastructure
- **Anyone** who's ever wished they could just run their own version of the services they depend on

## How It Works

Wild Cloud runs on Kubernetes—the same technology that powers much of the internet. But you don't need to be a Kubernetes expert to use it.

We've done the work of selecting, configuring, and integrating the best open source applications into "stacks" that work well together. You get the benefits of professional-grade infrastructure without having to figure it all out yourself.

And when you have questions, you're not alone. A community of practitioners shares knowledge, helps troubleshoot problems, and improves the tools together.

## Getting Started

Wild Cloud is being built by a community of neighbors who believe everyone deserves to own their digital home.

Whether you're technically experienced or just curious, there's a place for you.
