Philosophy doesn't mean much without execution. If I’m going to advocate for data sovereignty and owning your data, I need to show you exactly what my architecture stands on.

My project, OWNTHESTACK.co, isn't deployed to a massive managed web service, it doesn't use third-party serverless infrastructure, and it doesn't store media in an invisible corporate bucket. It runs entirely on an independent, flat-rate virtual private server (VPS) running minimal Linux.

Here is the exact containerized layout and setup powering the application.

The Design Philosophy

The goal: maximum control, absolute data ownership, and strict network privacy. The host operating system remains completely clean. Everything is modular, portable, and tightly locked down inside isolated internal container environments.
