Just thinking out loud here. I don’t know too much about starting my own business, but I have a pipe dream about having a side gig building on-site mini servers for clients who want to start their own businesses.

I could speak with the client, find out what type of business they’re developing, then pair them up with FOSS applications and hardware they’d run on their property. I could also update it all remotely. It would be like a plumber/electrician that can show people how to manage the tools I bring to them.

I was thinking of doing this as a really small personal business, meeting with the clients and installing systems for them.

You think there’s a market for something like this? I don’t really have anyone in my circle who knows the business or tech side of this.

    I appreciate that explanation. I imagined there had to be a name for this type of business.

    Since it’s mostly older folks here, I’ll have to think about what that could mean for them. Privacy, peace of mind, ownership, security?
