Sovereign Self-Hosting
Your business doesn't have to rent itself to a US hyperscaler. We stand up your own private cloud on a VPS you own — open-source services for access, collaboration, analytics, identity and backups — installed, secured, updated and watched by one accountable partner.
Think of it as your in-house IT department, without the headcount: a sovereign stack on infrastructure you control, in five languages, out of reach of foreign legislation like the US CLOUD Act.
What we self-host for you
A complete open-source stack on your own VPS — take the whole platform, or just the piece you need. Each is the sovereign alternative to a US SaaS you're probably renting today.
Secure access & networking
Zero-trust mesh VPN and remote desktop — NetBird, RustDesk, WireGuard. The sovereign alternative to Tailscale and TeamViewer.
Collaboration & productivity
Files, docs, chat, video and passwords — Nextcloud, OnlyOffice, Mattermost, Vaultwarden. The sovereign alternative to Google Workspace and Slack.
Privacy-first analytics
Know your traffic without feeding Google — Matomo, Plausible. The sovereign alternative to Google Analytics.
Single sign-on & identity
One sovereign login across your whole stack — Authentik, Keycloak. The self-hosted alternative to Okta and Azure AD.
Backup, monitoring & continuity
Encrypted backups and uptime you can prove — Restic, Borg, Uptime Kuma.
The deploy backbone
One control panel to run it all on your VPS — Coolify or Dokploy, reverse proxy and TLS. The self-hosted Vercel.
Business apps
Self-hosted CRM, ERP, invoicing and marketing — ERPNext, EspoCRM, Mautic — or our featured Odoo.
Private AI on your stack
A private assistant trained on your own documents — Ollama, Open WebUI, RAG. See our Private, sovereign AI pillar.
Who it's for
- SMEs that want the capability of an in-house IT department without the headcount.
- Businesses uneasy about their data, email and tools living inside US clouds.
- Founders and teams who want to own their stack — no per-seat lock-in, no surprise re-pricing.
How an engagement works
Audit & plan
We map what you run today, where your data sits, and the sovereign stack that replaces it — starting from a free sovereignty audit.
Provision
We set up your VPS — your account, your ownership — with the deploy backbone, reverse proxy, TLS and SSO.
Deploy & migrate
We install each service, migrate your data, and wire single sign-on across the stack.
Run & hand over
Backups, monitoring and updates on a schedule, plus documentation you fully own. Optional managed care, or we hand you the keys.
Frequently asked questions
Do I own the server and the data?
Yes — fully. The VPS is in your account (or your own hardware), the services run on it, and we hand over clean documentation. No lock-in and no hostage situations. We can run it for you, or hand you the keys.
Isn't self-hosting risky or hard to maintain?
That's exactly what we take off your plate. We install to a hardened standard, automate encrypted backups and updates, and monitor uptime — the same discipline a good in-house IT department brings, on a VPS instead of a US cloud.
What if I don't want to self-host everything?
You don't have to. Where a managed European option fits better, we'll say so — for example kSuite by Infomaniak (Swiss-hosted, now in five languages including Portuguese) as a sovereign Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace alternative. One sovereignty story, two delivery modes.
Where is it hosted?
On infrastructure you control — your own VPS with a European provider such as OVH, Infomaniak or Hetzner, or your own hardware. The point is that it's yours and within reach of European law, not a US hyperscaler's.
Can my team still sign in easily?
Yes. We put single sign-on (Authentik or Keycloak) across the whole stack, so your team has one secure login for everything we deploy.
