Nextcloud, Matrix, Mastodon, Gitea or Odoo: Run the open-source alternatives to Big Tech services on your own German infrastructure.
Open source promises digital independence – but this promise is only fulfilled on infrastructure that does what you want it to.
Root access and freedom to choose your distribution: whatever is available as a Linux package or container will run – from Nextcloud to Odoo.
The cloud alternative only makes sense if the data is stored under national control – in this case, in German certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz data centres.
A snapshot taken before the update, with cBacks running in the background – even bold major upgrades remain reversible.
The community provides support for the software, whilst centron offers 24/7 support for the infrastructure – together, they make a strong team.
Nextcloud replaces Drive, Matrix replaces messaging silos, and Vaultwarden replaces your password manager: whether on a suitably sized VM or distributed across a VPC, you can set up your own digital self-management system – for your family, club or business.
Customers typically implement this use case using these building blocks – which can be combined and expanded at any time.
Open-source hosting: Run Nextcloud, Matrix, GitLab and others on your own servers – digital sovereignty instead of SaaS lock-in. The cornerstone of this is ccloud³ VMs from €3.12 per month – billed by the hour, with no minimum contract term. This is supplemented as required by volumes and cBacks. Hosting is provided in compliance with the GDPR in centron’s own certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz data centres, with BSI C5:2020 Type 1 certification. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit.
