Digital Sovereignty

If it's on someone else's computer, it isn't yours.

The Mothership

Tebian comes ready to host your own cloud. We provide pre-configured stacks for the three pillars of digital independence:

File Sync

Syncthing: P2P, encrypted file synchronization. No central server. No subscription. Just your data on your devices.

Secrets

Vaultwarden: Self-hosted password management. Your keys stay in your vault, under your control.

Communication

Matrix: Secure, decentralized chat. Escape the walled gardens of corporate messaging platforms.

Local Intelligence

AI should be a tool for empowerment, not surveillance. Tebian integrates Ollama and our custom t-ask CLI assistant to run LLMs (Llama 3, Mistral) 100% locally on your hardware.

  • Zero Data Leakage: Your prompts never leave your machine.
  • Offline First: Work with AI in any environment, no internet required.
  • Private Brain: Use your own documents and data to train a model that only you can access.

Tebian isn't just an OS; it's a fortress for your digital life. We provide the tools to own your infrastructure from the kernel to the cloud.
