Replacing Drive, Photos and your password manager
The three services that hold what you cannot re-download. Sized together, because they share a machine — and backed up off-site, because losing them is the one failure that does not undo.

These figures come from the catalogue as it stands today, not from the day this page was written. They move when prices do.
what you get
- Nextcloud — Files, calendar and contacts synced across your devices, on your disk.
- Immich — Your photo library, with faces, search and phone auto-backup — without the storage bill.
- Vaultwarden — Bitwarden-compatible password manager. Tiny, boring, and it never phones home.
This is a starting point, not a verdict. Open it in the builder to add or drop services, change the storage, or pick different drives.
