Custom
home servers.

Calgary area only. On-site installation is required.

AutomaTech designs, sources, builds, and manages custom server setups for Calgary-area clients who want the benefits of self-hosting without the complexity of doing it themselves.

Private file and photo storage

Self-hosted alternatives to iCloud, Google Drive, or OneDrive, providing substantial storage capacity, no monthly fees, and local retention of files.

Home media server

A centralized media library accessible from every device in the home via Plex, Jellyfin, or comparable software, in place of multiple streaming subscriptions.

Network security and VPN

Custom router configuration, VLAN segmentation, Pi-hole ad blocking, and a personal VPN for secure remote access to the home network.

Automated backups

Local backup infrastructure with redundancy, protecting business documents, photos, and data through automated schedules and versioning.

Home automation hub

Self-hosted Home Assistant in place of cloud-dependent smart home platforms, offering faster response, greater privacy, and continued operation during an internet outage.

Monitoring and management

Grafana dashboards, uptime monitoring, and remote management, so the infrastructure remains healthy without constant manual attention.

Built once,
maintained ongoing.

Every setup begins with a consultation covering the services a client wishes to replace, and concludes with hardware installed, configured, and documented on site.

  • Consultation on goals, budget, and the services to be replaced
  • Hardware specification and sourcing, sized to actual usage
  • On-site build, installation, and network configuration in the Calgary area
  • Documentation, so the client can operate and understand what they own
  • Optional remote monitoring and maintenance following handoff
