Your own cloud, for the price of a VPS
You don't need a managed-cloud bill to run reliable business software. One lean VPS can host your files, passwords, notes, and dashboards — with you in full control of the data and the cost.
This session walks the whole journey: picking a VPS, running apps with Docker, putting them behind a reverse proxy with real HTTPS, and keeping everything backed up and recoverable. The same tools we run ourselves, every day, in production.
What you'll walk away with
- A hardened Linux server on a VPS, set up from scratch.
- Apps running and updating cleanly with Docker and Compose.
- Domains routed to services through a reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS.
- Deploys from a clean dashboard, with a platform like Dokploy or Coolify.
- Backups that mean a failure never costs you your business records.
- A locked-down box: SSH keys, firewalls, and least-privilege basics.
The session, in order
- VPS basics and your first SSH login
- Docker and Compose, without the jargon
- Reverse proxies, domains, and TLS
- Deploying real apps: files, passwords, dashboards
- Backups and disaster recovery
- Hardening, plus a clinic for your own server
Who it's for
Owners, founders, and solo operators who would rather own their infrastructure than rent it at enterprise rates.
Built on three priorities
Privacy first, security first, and data ownership first. You leave with systems you control, running on infrastructure you own.
