Self-Hosting Your Own Cloud

December 01, 2025 12 min read

Tired of Google or Dropbox scanning your files? It's time to take control. Self-hosting your cloud isn't as hard as it used to be.

Nextcloud: The Powerhouse

Nextcloud offers everything Google Drive does—photos, contacts, calendar, and file sync—but it runs on your hardware, in your house.

Combine it with a VPN like WireGuard to access your data securely from anywhere in the world without exposing it to the open web.
