Wild clouds are Open Source, self-hosted, independent platforms for hosting your applications and services. Your wild cloud is your own private data center where you can host your own applications.

You can have your own wild cloud for the price of a smart phone and an Internet connection. You can scale your wild cloud as large as you like.

While not a consumer product (yet), Wild Cloud aims to make self-hosting accessible to every individual and organization. Wild Cloud is a non-profit, community-driven project, educational in nature, designed to empower society to directly control its own data and services.

## Apps

In addition to helping you set up and manager your cloud, Wild Cloud gives you a set of Open Source applications you can run on your cloud.

## Get started

We're in the early days of the Wild Cloud project, yet we already have two functional "Proof of concept" clouds. In fact, all Wild Cloud and CSTF sites and services are running on our PoC wild cloud. The concept works. If you are an experienced developer, you can check out the software and start building your own wild cloud. Our next milestone is to continue ironing out the software and educational materials so that we can invite early adopters to start building their own wild clouds.

If you would like to get us to this next milestone, join our [developer community](https://git.civilsociety.dev/CSTF/wild-cloud).

If you would like to help the project move forward in other ways, check out our parent org at [Civil Society Tech Foundation](https://civilsociety.dev) and consider supporting us with a donation or connecting us with interested partners.
