About HomeServerHQ

HomeServerHQ is an all-in-one home server infrastructure and installer that can set up a fully configured email server, VPN and public websites in under an hour, even behind CGNAT. It layers WireGuard, an internal certificate authority and Authelia authentication for end-to-end encrypted, access-controlled services, and targets home users who want a complete private server stack without assembling every component themselves.
