I Set Up My OWN Private Cloud! Here's how YOU can too! | Platform9

Ever wanted to run your own private cloud, but OpenStack felt like too much? Same here—until now. I took Platform9’s new Community Edition of Private Cloud Director for a spin, and in no time, I had a full private cloud running in my #homelab. No complex configs. No chaos. Just clean, fast setup. Whether you’re homelabbing for fun, learning to be a cloud engineer, or just curious about what it takes to host your own cloud infrastructure, this might be the smoothest on-ramp out there. Watch how it all came together—and why you might want to try it too.
