sovereign cloud for communities
We help communities build, own, and operate their own cloud infrastructure. No vendors. No surveillance. No lock-in. Just FOSS, owned by the people who use it.
what we believe
privacy
Your data belongs to you. Not Google. Not Meta. Not us. We build systems where privacy is the default, not an opt-in.
auditability
Every component is open source. You can read every line, patch every bug, and audit every byte. No black boxes.
community ownership
The infrastructure belongs to the community it serves. Not a hosting provider. Not a consultant. You own it, you run it, you sustain it.
federation
One community fills up, another forms. They connect. They federate. The network grows without centralizing. That's the design.
proof it works
We helped build the Kootenay Lightweb — a community-owned cooperative running Matrix, Nextcloud, and Keycloak on a 3-node Proxmox cluster in rural BC. Crowdfunded by members, serving real people.
That's the reference implementation. Yours could be next.
who this is for
- Community co-ops that want to own their cloud
- Fire halls, libraries, community centers — trusted physical locations for community infrastructure
- City halls that need to go digital without selling out
- Small businesses that want private, sovereign infrastructure
- Communities that want their own AI — not rented from a corporation
- Developers who live in the communities they serve
the stack
Not a product. Not a platform. A set of tools we know and trust, deployed for your community:
communication
Matrix — federated, encrypted, open protocol. Your community's conversations stay yours.
storage
Nextcloud — file sync, calendars, contacts. Self-hosted, federated, no Google Drive.
identity
Keycloak — single sign-on for your community. You decide who's in, not a corporation.
virtualization
Proxmox — open-source virtualization. Your servers, your metal, your control.
container orchestration
Kubernetes — when one node isn't enough. Self-hosted, no managed cloud dependency.
networking
WireGuard, Tailscale, mesh networking. Connect your community without a telco.
AI
Self-hosted LLMs, local inference, community-trained models. AI that serves you, not the other way around.
