The main servers are geographically distributed across multiple locations and even across continents. They are hosted in a variety of environments — from data centers with high availability standards and excellent connectivity to Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), to schools or even garages — depending on what is most critical and whether services need to be close to users to ensure low latency and local resilience.
This diversity of locations is intentional. It reduces single points of failure, improves performance for local users, and strengthens community control over essential services.
These servers run multiple services through virtualization. The hypervisor platform used is Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE), which allows flexible, efficient, and transparent management of virtual machines and containers.
All systems are protected by daily backups using Proxmox Backup Server (PBS). A defined retention policy allows us to restore previous states when needed, ensuring operational continuity and protection against data loss, human error, or system failures.
The diagram provides a brief overview of the types of infrastructure and locations currently in operation across continents.
Would you like to host infrastructure or help us operate and maintain it? You are welcome to join. One of the core goals of this open project is that it is built and sustained collectively.
