Overview

Learn about Federated Core and all its potential for you and your team.

This documentation is for users and administrators, not those wanting to install.

Federated Core is like a Linux distribution in the cloud. It includes a number of leading open-source projects fully integrated so that users don’t have to be systems administrators.

Maintenance and Backup of your Federated Core

You don’t need to worry about a thing. Your Federated Core is automatically backed up and maintained/updated without your having to do anything. We don’t have access to your data, that is all end-to-end encrypted. But you do care for and manage your system so that you can go about doing your business.

Your backup is stored on B2 cloud storage at Backblaze. In a future version of Federated Core, we will allow you to backup to another provider or mount point.

What if More Storage is Needed?

Your Federated Core is monitored for storage requirements. If you need more storage, we will reach out to you with inexpensive options for increasing your storage capacity.
