Fortress replaces Google Docs, Dropbox, Netflix and Ring with a self-hosted box in your house — reachable from anywhere, with every key on your own hardware.
TLS and WireGuard keys never leave your house. Nobody else can decrypt your traffic — not even us.
One encrypted tunnel to a box in the cloud. Jellyfin, docs, photos — from any phone, on any network, no port forwarding.
Every service signs in with the same account. Add a user once, they get every app — no per-app password sprawl.
We assemble, install and ship a pre-configured Fortress. Plug it in, connect ethernet, and claim it with your account in under five minutes.
Fortress is a service stack, not a package. One config.nix, one apply. No setup wizard, no app store.
Two ways to run fortress (ADR-035) — no Docker. Linux runs natively; macOS/Windows run a Linux VM.
system-manager applies the fortress services to your host's systemd (in place). OS/kernel updates stay yours.
curl https://proletariat.tech/install.sh | bash
One Linux VM runs the fortress stack (system-manager inside); your Mac/PC is just hardware. Nix/systemd don't run on those hosts.
curl https://proletariat.tech/install.sh | bash
Fortress lives in /etc/fortress/config — a git-versioned config.nix + sealed secrets. The dashboard edits it; applying re-reads it; git revert rolls config AND secrets back together.
