Builder: Resources for Self-Hosting
The age of centralized, corporate-controlled computing is giving way to something new: self-hosting, open-source homelabs, and personal AI workshops. Builders everywhere are reclaiming control of their data, costs, and creativity by assembling FOSS-based stacks that rival proprietary services. This page is a curated guide to the best tools, blueprints, and knowledge you’ll need to transform your own homelab into a private AI workshop -complete with infrastructure, workflows, and agentic AI systems you control.

Everything on Shared Sapience is free and open to all. However, it takes a tremendous amount of time and effort to keep these resources and guides up to date and useful for everyone.
If enough of my amazing readers could help with just a few dollars a month, I could dedicate myself full-time to helping Seekers, Builders, and Protectors collaborate better with AI and work toward a better future.
Even if you can’t support financially, becoming a free subscriber is a huge help in advancing the mission of Shared Sapience.
