Self-Hosted Services for Friends, Family,
and Other Poor Decision Makers
Congratulations.
You have arrived at Trust A Stranger, a collection of self-hosted services operated by an individual whose qualifications include owning a server, purchasing a questionable domain name, and possessing a level of confidence that many professionals would describe as "concerning."
If you are looking for one of the hosted services, you are probably in the right place.
If you arrived here by accident, now is an excellent time to reevaluate your life choices.
Continue Making Questionable DecisionsLarge corporations ask you to trust faceless organizations with your personal information.
I ask you to trust a single identifiable stranger on the internet.
Somehow, that feels more honest.
At least when something breaks, you know exactly who to blame.
Calculated using a proprietary algorithm.
The proprietary algorithm consists primarily of vibes.
Last updated: —
Trust A Stranger employs numerous security measures, including:
* Backup restoration has not recently been required, which is either very reassuring or deeply concerning.
Because honesty matters.
| Services Currently Running | Several |
| Services Forgotten But Still Running | Unknown |
| Days Since Last Catastrophic Failure | — |
| Containers Spawned "Just For Testing" | 127 |
| Containers Still Running From Testing | 126 |
| Confidence In Infrastructure | Moderate |
| Confidence Displayed Publicly | Extremely High |
That is an excellent question.
Probably.
Ideally, nothing.
Not intentionally.
An enterprise owns the hardware.
A period of intense investigation will commence.
This question has no fixed upper bound.

Confidence: Surprisingly High

At Trust A Stranger, we believe in:
"Against all odds, it actually works."
— A Friend
"The domain name inspired absolutely no confidence."
— Another Friend
"I expected disaster and received competent service."
— A Very Confused User
"Honestly, this is still less suspicious than most free cloud services."
— Yet Another Friend

Success is not guaranteed, though it remains the preferred outcome.
If you are reading this page instead of accessing the service you intended to use, you have already demonstrated a remarkable willingness to trust random websites.
Fortunately for you, this one is actually operated by someone you know.
Probably.
