Welcome to Asheville Cloud, the home of the local tech revolution. There’s a free classifieds board because I don’t want to pay for craigslist and I reckon you don’t either. Visit the community forums if have something to talk about.

Where We Are

Asheville has a very strange unique and diverse culture, and I know you don’t like big technology and mega conglomerates infesting every facet of your life, not any more than I do. Fun fact: When I began building Asheville Cloud I was living in a tent.

Teaching & Learning

I've been using open source tools to provide for my own tech needs since the late 90's when I found out how much a Windows 98 installation disk cost.I want to empower you to take back your data for you and your families.

Owned

Technology has advanced tremendously in that time, and the big media companies don’t want you to know how easy and affordable it is to operate your own information infrastructure.

Possibilities

If you have ever thought about how it would be to:

  • Stream videos without granting a distribution license to a streaming platform
  • Serve your company email and website from your office computer
  • Have a social network that is private for your followers family without ads or AI controlling your feed
  • Encrypt communications and monitoring for your cult group that don’t rely on off-site equipment.
  • Preserving and archiving your collection of pictures and videos and documents in an accessible and shareable format, private and secure.

Opportunity

I can help! These are things I love to do and I will work with you to find a custom solution that fits whatever rituals customs you abide by. I know it is not my place to judge.

If you’re ready to ditch the traditional conformist tech stack get in touch with me:
