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.
