Hands-on self-hosting tutorials

Welcome to the Serverküche (“server kitchen”)! Here you’ll find battle-tested recipes for self-hosting – explained step by step and tested on real netcup servers (they run on any comparable root or virtual server, too). The path leads from the first server setup through hardening with SSH and a firewall to ready-to-serve applications: your own cloud with Nextcloud, your private photo backup with Immich, the password manager Vaultwarden and the paperless office with Paperless-ngx.

New here? The learning path walks you through all the recipes in the right order – and the server calculator tells you how big your server needs to be.
