How it works

Modern Homelab. The best of both worlds.

Photos, films and the smart home stay close to you. Your website and game nights live where everyone can reach them. One homelab holds them all.

at home or in the cloud: you decide where each one lives

In four steps

From a wish to a running service.

  1. 01

    Say what you need

    A photo library for the family or a server for game night. Start with the wish, not the technology.

  2. 02

    kombify plans it

    Techstack suggests fitting apps and a place for each, built on open StackKits blueprints.

  3. 03

    It runs where it fits

    On your own hardware at home or on a cloud server, reachable from anywhere through your own address.

  4. 04

    It stays cared for

    Backups before changes, updates that do not break things and a record of what happened.

Inside the product

From the first choice to everyday care.

A concrete example

Each service where it makes sense.

Keep services separate or organize them together in Techstack. Your data stays where you choose. At home or in the cloud, the goal is the same secure access from anywhere, through your own domain or a kombify.me address.

Family photos Computer at home

Photos stay on the home computer.

The family keeps its photo library on a computer at home, close to the devices that add and browse photos. The files stay on hardware they own; access while away is a separate choice.

Application
A family photo library on the home computer
Data
Photo files and library data at home
Responsibility
The household cares for power, updates, and backups

Your website Cloud server

The website runs on a cloud server.

The same household gives its personal website a cloud server. There is no extra machine at home, and the site can run independently of the household's power and internet connection.

Application
A personal website on the cloud server
Data
Website files and site data on that server
Responsibility
The household manages access, site updates, and hosting

This is an illustrative placement example, not a live product screen or a promise that this exact setup is supported.
