Welcome to homeserver.guide

This website holds a collection of practical guides on how to run and maintain personal home servers, and related technology.

Why run home servers?

There are many great benefits with running your own home servers, including:

• You get full control over your own data
• It's way more private than keeping your data in the cloud

• You get to learn a lot about computers, Linux/Unix systems, networking, and more.
• It's just fun!

Who is this for?

• Anyone who are interested in taking more ownership and control of their digital lives.
• Tinkerers, hackers, and computer hobbyists
• People with a Raspberry Pi laying around and looking for a fun project
• People who care about Freedom in the digital world

The guides will vary in amount of complexity and technical knowledge, going from beginner guides to advanced guides. The technical skill level required will be on the top of each page.
