The kombify Flow

From intent to production
in hours, not weeks

kombify guides you through the entire lifecycle of your self-hosted infrastructure. No fragmented tutorials. No guesswork. One clear path from to running system.

The Problem Today

Going from "I want a private cloud" to a secure, running system takes weeks of research, trial and error, and constant maintenance anxiety.

01

High Entry Barrier

Hundreds of decisions — hardware, networking, storage, backup — with no roadmap.

02

Fragmented Knowledge

Best practices scattered across forums, YouTube, and blogs. No single source of truth.

03

No Desired State

Systems grow organically. When something breaks, nobody knows the original configuration.

04

Fear of Updates

"Never touch a running system" leads to outdated, insecure software and growing tech debt.

The kombify Flow

A guided end-to-end process that takes you from idea to running infrastructure.

01

Intent Capture

Describe what you want in plain language. "I want a secure family photo cloud" or "I need a monitoring stack for my home network." kombify understands your intent and translates it into technical requirements.

Spec Generation

Your intent becomes a precise, versioned specification — the kombination.yaml. This is your infrastructure's single source of truth. Every service, every config, every decision — documented and reproducible.

Simulation

Before anything touches your real system, kombify Sim validates everything in a sandbox. Resource conflicts, port collisions, dependency issues — all caught before they cause damage. With Cloud, simulation runs on real VMs.

Rollout

Validated blueprints are deployed to your infrastructure. Backups created automatically before every change. One click to deploy, one click to rollback. Your infrastructure matches your spec — guaranteed.

Operation & Drift Detection

Your system runs — and kombify watches. Continuous monitoring compares desired state against reality. When something drifts, you're notified and can remediate with confidence. Updates are simulated first, then applied.

Brownfield-Friendly

Already have a running setup? kombify doesn't destroy your existing system. Adopt gradually, at your own pace.

Managed Components

Fully monitored, patched, and configured by kombify. Defined in your spec. Updates simulated before applied.

  • Automated updates
  • Drift detection
  • Backup on every change

Unmanaged Components

Discovered and visualized by kombify, but never touched. Your existing services stay exactly as they are — until you're ready.

  • Visible in dashboard
  • No automatic changes
  • Adopt when ready
