Who it is for

  • People who finished a local setup and want to share it
  • Small companies replacing paid AI subscriptions

What you will have at the end

  • A server with a model and an agent behind HTTPS
  • Daily backups and a down alert in Telegram
  • A clear monthly cost and a plan to cut it

A model on your laptop helps you. A model on a server helps your whole team. You choose a server and a price, deploy with Docker, put it behind HTTPS and a password, set up backups and alerts, and learn what it really costs per month. The course ends with a live service your colleagues use.
