I will install and setup any open source app in your own AWS account
About this Gig
I will securely install any Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) (like NextCloud, etc.) in your own AWS account.
Hosting on your own account gives you:
- Total Privacy & Control: Your data remains entirely yours, on your server. No third-party snooping.
- Reliability & Security: Leverage AWS's enterprise-grade infrastructure - WAY more stable and secure than a home server.
- Cost-Effective: I will help you use the AWS Free Tier where possible to minimize your ongoing costs.
My service includes the professional installation of your chosen FOSS application. I can also configure your custom domain (with TLS, aka SSL/HTTPS), and configure backup.
The process is simple and secure:
- Contact me with your software requirements.
- Provide temporary, limited IAM access to your AWS account (I provide instructions and support as needed).
- I install and configure the application, then deliver the credentials.
- After you confirm everything works, you revoke my access.
Please message me before placing an order. We will discuss your specific needs and create a custom quote for your project.

FAQ
Why do I have to use my own AWS account?
This ensures you have 100% control and ownership of your software and data. It's the ultimate setup for privacy and security.
What are the ongoing costs?
My fee is a one-time charge for the installation service. You will pay AWS directly for the server resources you use. I can help you select an instance that qualifies for the AWS Free Tier, if applicable, to minimize costs.
Is it safe to give you access to my AWS account?
Yes. You will provide access via a temporary IAM user with restricted permissions, only enough to do the installation. You can and should delete the user credentials as soon as the gig is complete. Your main account credentials are never shared.
Do you offer maintenance or updates?
This gig is for the initial setup and installation. I can provide updates or maintenance as a separate custom offer.
Can you support Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure or DigitalOcean instead/also?
Absolutely! We just highlight AWS because it's the most requested and often the most cost-effective.
