Getting Started

tasmanian.cloud

Welcome to the documentation for tasmanian.cloud—sovereign cloud infrastructure, 100% within Tasmania.

What We Solve

We provide self-hosted infrastructure solutions for organizations that need:

• Data sovereignty — Everything stays in Tasmania, under Australian jurisdiction
• Privacy-first hosting — No surveillance capitalism, no data mining
• VPN-secured access — Private networking by default
• Self-hosted applications — Full control over your software stack

What We Don't Do

We intentionally do not compete on:

• ❌ Cheap general-purpose compute (we can't beat hyperscale pricing)
• ❌ GPU instances (no GPU hardware available)
• ❌ Public IPs or floating IPs (single IPv4 address)

Instead, we focus on sovereign, private, self-hosted solutions.

Quick Start

1. Access OpenSelfServe (O2S)

All provisioning and management happens through O2S—our self-service portal:

o2s.tasmanian.cloud

Create an account, generate an API key, and start deploying.

2. Choose Your Compute Solution

3. Connect via VPN

External access to your resources is exclusively via Netbird VPN:

# Install Netbird
curl -fsSL https://pkgs.netbird.io/install.sh | sh

# Join your network (get key from O2S)
netbird up --setup-key YOUR_KEY

# Access your services privately
ssh ubuntu@10.0.40.10
curl http://10.0.40.15:3000  # Your Gitea instance
