It serves as an independent "control plane" that allows you to deploy, manage, and scale your favorite cloud applications on your own hardware or virtual private servers (VPS).

Traditional self-hosting offers ownership, privacy, and portability, but requires people to deploy, secure, update, monitor, back up, and repair servers—work that is often beyond the time or expertise of ordinary users. + +Nassella's goal is to make the privacy and ownership of self-hosting practical for people who do not want to become Linux, server, or DevOps experts. Operational work is automated with Nassella while still preserving user ownership of the underlying infrastructure, application data, backups, and DNS configuration.
