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

What Can You Run?

The possibilities are endless! Here are just a few ideas:

• Personal Websites & Blogs (WordPress, Ghost, Hugo)
• Photo Storage & Sharing (PhotoPrism, Immich)
• Document Management (Paperless-ngx)
• Media Servers (Jellyfin, Plex)
• Home Automation (Home Assistant)
• Password Managers (Bitwarden, Vaultwarden)
• Note Taking Apps (Joplin, Trilium)
• Productivity Tools (Nextcloud, Gitea, Plausible Analytics)
• Database Servers (PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB)
• And much more!

Key Features

• One-Command Setup: Get a complete Kubernetes infrastructure with a single script
• Secure by Default: Automatic HTTPS certificates for all services
• Split-Horizon DNS: Access services internally or externally with the same domain
• Custom Domains: Use your own domain name for all services
• Service Templates: Deploy new applications with a simple command
• Dashboard: Web UI for monitoring and managing your infrastructure
• No Cloud Vendor Lock-in: Run on your own hardware, from a Raspberry Pi to old laptops
