// how it works

How it works

  1. Pick a service to reclaim

    Files, mail, passwords, media — start with one.

  2. Deploy it

    Docker Compose one-liners are the standard install.

  3. Point a domain at it

    Reverse proxy + free TLS certificates take minutes.

  4. Back it up

    Automated backups to a second disk or offsite.
