MyWave Harbor

A private server that's truly yours.

Own a custom-built machine outright, or rent private space on ours. Private cloud, file sync, and local AI — without surrendering your data to big tech.

Your files shouldn't live on someone else's servers.

Your photos, your documents, your data — they shouldn't be subject to someone else's terms. Harbor gives you a private server that's actually yours: your own Nextcloud, your own storage, your own optional local AI.

Two ways to get it. Either way: your data, your rules.

Harbor Own

Own it outright.

A custom-built server, specified to exactly what you need, delivered and installed. Pre-loaded with open-source software you own — no subscriptions, no lock-in.

Harbor Host

We host it for you.

Your own dedicated, private environment on MyWave hardware. We handle updates, backups, and uptime; you get all the benefits of a private server with zero upkeep. Graduate to Harbor Own anytime.

What's on your server.

Nextcloud — File storage, sync, sharing, calendar, contacts. Your private cloud.
MariaDB — Reliable database backend.
Caddy — Secure web server with automatic SSL.
Encrypted backups — Automated. Your data is safe.

Optional add-ons

Local AI (Ollama + AnythingLLM) — a private AI assistant; your data never leaves.
Immich — private photo management (like Google Photos, but yours).
Collabora Office — online document editing.

The Harbor Host trust promise.

Because Harbor Host runs on our hardware, we hold ourselves to a strict standard:

Encrypted at rest — your data is encrypted on our servers.
No standing access — we never open your space without your explicit request.
Every access is logged — time-boxed, recorded, reviewable.
Exit guarantee, in writing — take your data and leave anytime, with our help.

Why MyWave.

Privacy is the point, not a feature.Your data stays yours — always.
Consent-based support.No standing access. We connect only when you allow it.
No lock-in.Open-source software you own; export and leave anytime (in writing).
Local AI, done right.Private AI as a first-class option — no data to OpenAI/Google.
A small business you can trust.Real people, real accountability.

Pricing: Contact for a quote. Harbor Own is a one-time build (parts + labor + setup); Harbor Host is a monthly or annual subscription by storage and compute.

Questions.

What's the difference between Own and Host?

Own: we build a server and you own the hardware. Host: your server runs on our hardware and we maintain it — you just use it.

Can I start on Host and switch to Own later?

Yes — that's a path we actively support ("grow into owning it").

Can MyWave read my data on Harbor Host?

Not without your explicit, logged request. Data is encrypted at rest and we have no standing access — and you can leave with your data anytime, in writing.

Can I run my own AI?

Yes — local, private AI is a core option on capable builds and hosting tiers.
