Every time you use a cloud service, your data lives on someone else's computer. For a lot of businesses, that's fine. But for others — especially those handling sensitive client information, or those tired of monthly fees that keep climbing — there's a better option.

Self-hosted software runs on hardware you control. Your files stay in your building (or on a server you own in a datacenter). There's no monthly per-user fee that scales with your headcount. And when a big tech company decides to change their terms, raise prices, or discontinue a product, you're not affected.

We set up, configure, and maintain self-hosted solutions for small businesses. Here's what we can deploy:

Productivity & Collaboration

Nextcloud — Private File Storage & Sync

A private, self-hosted file storage and sync platform. Share and access documents securely from any device without relying on third-party cloud providers, giving you full control over where your data lives. Think Dropbox or Google Drive, but yours.

Vikunja — Project & Task Management

An open-source project and task management tool for organizing work, tracking deadlines, and managing to-do lists across personal and team projects. A capable alternative to Trello, Asana, or Monday.com.

JJL Docs — Office Suite

A self-hosted office suite for creating and editing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations collaboratively — a private alternative to Google Docs or Office 365 online. Your documents never leave your server.

PDF Tools

A full-featured, self-hosted PDF toolkit for merging, splitting, converting, compressing, and editing PDF documents. All processing happens privately without uploading files to third-party services. Learn more →

Business & Client Operations

Helpdesk & Ticketing System

A dedicated support ticketing platform for tracking client requests, managing service tickets, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. Every support interaction documented and searchable.

Invoicing Platform

A self-hosted billing and invoicing system for generating, sending, and tracking client invoices. Professional invoices, payment tracking, and financial reporting without per-transaction fees.

Workflow Automation (n8n)

A visual automation engine that connects tools and services together, streamlining repetitive business processes without manual intervention. If you're copying data between systems by hand, this can probably do it automatically. Learn more →

Remote Monitoring & Patch Management

An IT management platform for monitoring device health, deploying software, and keeping client machines patched and secure. We use this ourselves to keep an eye on systems we manage. Learn more →

Remote Support Tool

A custom-branded remote desktop support application that lets technicians securely connect to and troubleshoot client machines in real time. No third-party service sitting between us and your computer.

IT Troubleshooter Tray App

A lightweight Windows utility that gives users quick access to diagnostics, remote support, and self-service troubleshooting tools right from their system tray. One click to run common fixes or request help.

Smart Home & Monitoring

AI-Powered Camera Monitoring

A self-hosted video surveillance system with on-device AI object detection, generating real-time alerts for relevant activity while keeping all footage and processing private and local. Know when a person (not a cat) is in frame.

Home Automation Hub

A central smart-home platform tying together sensors, notifications, and automations, with alerts delivered instantly when something needs attention. Lights, locks, thermostats, sensors — all controlled from one place, without cloud dependencies.

AI & Communication

AI Phone Assistant

A voice-based AI agent that answers incoming calls, powered by a locally hosted language model, handling routine inquiries without sending conversations to a third-party cloud AI provider. Your calls stay private.

Media

Personal Music Streaming Server

A private music streaming service, giving you access to your personal music library from any device, anywhere, without relying on a subscription service. Your music, your server, no monthly fee.

Why Self-Host?

  • Privacy — Your data never leaves hardware you control. No third-party scanning your files, no terms of service that let someone else use your information.
  • Cost control — One-time setup plus minimal ongoing costs, instead of monthly per-user fees that grow with your business.
  • Independence — No vendor lock-in. If a company raises prices, changes features, or shuts down, your systems keep running.
  • Compliance — For businesses with data handling requirements (legal, medical, financial), self-hosting can make compliance simpler.

How It Works

We handle the technical side: selecting the right hardware or server, installing and configuring the software, setting up secure access, and providing ongoing maintenance. You get a working system without needing to become a server administrator.

Solutions can run on hardware in your office, on a dedicated server in a datacenter, or on a small cloud instance you control — whatever makes sense for your situation and budget.
