homebrewserver.club is a collection of guides for running your own online services from home, on a small computer you own, instead of renting them from a cloud company.
A home server can be an old laptop, a Raspberry Pi or a second-hand mini PC. It sits next to your router, uses little power, and runs the services you choose: a website, a chat server for your family or group, file sharing, ad blocking for your network. You decide what runs on it and where your data lives.
The guides here explain what each piece does before they tell you what to type. They assume you can use a terminal, but not that you are a professional system administrator. They also accept the limits of hosting at home: a slow upload speed, a router you don't fully control, and no one on call at 3 a.m. when something breaks.
If you are new to this, start with the fundamentals: choosing hardware, logging in over SSH and making your server reachable through your router. Then pick a service to run, such as an XMPP chat server or a website.
