Sovereign Cloud
Take control of your digital life with your own personal cloud infrastructure
Why Build Your Own Cloud?
In a world where our digital lives are increasingly controlled by large corporations, having your own personal cloud puts you back in control:
- Privacy: Your data stays on your hardware, under your control
- Ownership: No subscription fees or sudden price increases
- Freedom: Run the apps you want, the way you want them
- Learning: Gain valuable skills in modern cloud technologies
- Resilience: Reduce reliance on third-party services that can disappear
What is This Project?
This project provides a complete, production-ready Kubernetes infrastructure designed for personal use. It combines enterprise-grade technologies in an easy-to-deploy package, allowing you to:
- Host your own services like web apps, databases, and more
- Access services securely from anywhere with automatic HTTPS
- Keep some services private on your home network
- Deploy new applications with a single command
- Manage everything through a slick web dashboard
