Your private cloud on your own server
Enter your server address and password — FoxLair installs its agent, secures the server and prepares it for modules: VPN, storage, game servers and websites. No terminal, no middlemen.

Three steps
From a bare server to a private cloud
-
Connect your server
The address, login and password from your hosting email. FoxLair shows the server key fingerprint so nobody can hijack the connection.
-
FoxLair installs the agent
It checks the system, uploads the signed agent and runs it as a hardened service. After that, the password is no longer needed.
-
Set up with Tail
The fox guide walks you through naming, access, security, Docker and domains. Nothing changes until you confirm the plan.
Features
Everything your server needs, in one window
Meet
Tail, the fox guide
He greets you right after the agent is installed, helps at every step and is honest about risks. Experienced users can simply choose “No hints”.
- Hi! I'm Tail. I've just moved into your server.
- If your Raspberry boots from an SD card, it will wear out fast. Better use an SSD.
- Done! Your lair is secured, 9 out of 10.
Security
Your server stays yours
- The agent opens no ports to the internet: the app reaches it through an encrypted SSH tunnel
- The server password is used once and never stored
- The server key fingerprint is verified on every connection
- The agent doesn't run as root, inside a tightly restricted systemd service
- If the connection drops after an SSH change, the server restores the previous settings itself
- Your files and data never pass through FoxLair servers

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which server will work?
Any VPS or home computer with Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04, at least 512 MB of memory and 2 GB of free space. x86_64 or ARM64 CPU.
Do I need to know the terminal?
No. You only need the server address, login and password from your hosting provider. FoxLair does the rest and explains it in plain words.
What happens to what's already on the server?
Before installing, FoxLair checks the server and finds conflicts such as busy ports. Nothing changes without your confirmation.
