Welcome to NEPTUNE

Self-hosted cloud infrastructure by Mike Bros

A personal ecosystem of services running on bare-metal servers. Media streaming, file sync, game servers, development tools, and more — all self-hosted, all interconnected.

Invite-Only Ecosystem

Neptune services are available to friends, family, and trusted contacts. Most services use Authentik SSO for unified login — one account gets you access to media streaming, file sync, fitness tracking, and more.

Interested? Reach out via the Request Access form and I'll send you an invite link.
