Get StartedHow It Works
1. Choose a Computer
Use a computer you already have, or let ServeYourself provide an affordable refurbished one.

A complete server stack is installed using trusted, fully open‑source tools — no subscriptions, no tracking, and no monthly fees. Your server includes automatic backups and secure remote access.
3. Home Delivery & Setup
ServeYourself delivers the server to your home and configures your router so you can access your music and files from anywhere.
4. Add Music & Files
Copy over music files you already own, upload documents and photos, or automatically rip CDs directly into your server.
5. Access Anywhere
Stream your music or access your files at home or on the go — all through your private server.
6. Store & Share Your Files
Use your server as your own private cloud. Upload documents, photos, and videos from any device and access them securely from anywhere.
Your Private Cloud Storage
Upload and manage your files with FileBrowser
Your server includes a secure, web‑based file manager that works on any device. Drag and drop files, organize folders, and access your documents from anywhere in the world.
Automatic backups with Duplicati
Your files and music are protected automatically. Duplicati backs up your server on a schedule — no effort required.
Stream your music with Jellyfin
Jellyfin is your main interface for browsing and playing your music library. Use it on your phone, tablet, laptop, or smart TV.
FAQ
Can I store regular files, not just music?

Can I access my files from outside my home?
Yes. Your server is configured for secure remote access, so you can reach your files from anywhere.
Is this like Dropbox or Google Drive?

Do I have to pay monthly fees?
No. ServeYourself has zero monthly fees. Once your server is set up, it’s yours forever.
Is this legal?
Yes. All of the software on your new server is 100% open source, free, and legal.
Does my server need to be fast or new?
Not at all! Almost any old (non-Apple) computer will work. The software is small and efficient.
What if I don't have a computer?
ServeYourself can provide an affordable refurbished computer.
How do I add new music CDs to my server?
Put the CD in the server’s drive. The software automatically makes a perfect lossless copy and adds it to your library.
