The aim of the Nested Embers project is to enable non-technical individuals, groups of friends or small communities that want to own their online spaces, their data or the software they depend on, to do so.
The project will see the creation of:
- An open source process to manage and run self-hosted software on Virtual Private Servers (VPS).
- A small set of services, such as email sending and DNS management, to ensure the individual servers can be cost effective and fully functional out of the box.
- A server management portal to create VPS instances on supported hosting providers, ensuring individuals can chose the provider that best suits them.
- An "Apps Marketplace" style solution will allow users to deploy and configure the software of their choice with a simple point and click approach.
With this solution available, individuals, non-profits, independent businesses and more can provide options to non-technical people that will free them from proprietary protocols and vendor lock-in without requiring them to spend hours on technical work.
