== Why Would I Want A Home Server? ==
As time goes by, we are increasingly reliant on cloud services to sync up our files. The internet is also becoming increasingly more closed off and censored. Nothing stays up on the internet forever, and the services you use could close at any time. If you want to become less reliant on corporations who profiteer off your data, but be able to access it from anywhere you want, a home server is a great choice. But home servers do not relate to Solarpunk in personal ownership only, a home server operator with a bit more knowledge in cybersecurity can allow others in their community to connect to their computers. Home Servers are all about decentralization.

Home Assistant is a piece of [[Open-source]] software that acts as control panel that can manage and install a wide plethora of useful programs you can run from your home and connect to from anywhere. It can also monitor your home while you are gone without violating your privacy. It partially removes a lot of the overhead that usually comes with installing and managing a home server, and is made with security in mind.
