Infrastructure
FOSS infrastructure
The tools that replace Big Tech — set up, monitored, and maintained. Nextcloud instead of Google Workspace, Mastodon instead of X, Matrix instead of Slack.
Managed FOSS · EU-hosted
Your FOSS stack, professionally managed.
You believe in open source. You don't believe in spending your weekends patching servers. We run the FOSS tools so you don't have to.
EU hosting · Encrypted backups · No Big Tech dependencies
The problem
You want to use open-source tools. But setting up Nextcloud, hardening a Matrix server, keeping Mastodon updated — that's a part-time job on its own. Either you DIY and burn your weekends, or you give up and go back to Google Workspace and Slack.
How we fix it
We set up, harden, monitor, and maintain your FOSS stack — Nextcloud, Mastodon, Matrix, GitLab, PeerTube, whatever you need. EU hosting, encrypted backups, no Big Tech dependencies. You get the freedom without the admin burden.
What we run
Your open-source stack. Professionally managed. EU-hosted.
Most clients start by replacing one proprietary tool and go from there.
Privacy
Privacy-first hosting
Your data, your server, your rules. EU-based hosting, encrypted backups, no Big Tech dependencies. Your data stays yours.
Migration
Proprietary → FOSS migration
We move you from locked-in tools to open alternatives that actually work. Google Workspace to Nextcloud, Slack to Matrix, Dropbox to Nextcloud Files.
Scaling
FOSS that scales
From a single VPS to multi-server setups. Same open-source ethos, enterprise-grade reliability. Monitoring, alerting, high availability.
