How I can help
I help small businesses, associations and tech-minded individuals with Linux and Windows, servers, virtualisation, self-hosting and networks. That can mean setting up a new server, migrating a service, troubleshooting something that has stopped working, or making sure updates and backups actually happen. I run several services on my own servers, including the visitor statistics for this website.
Typical jobs
- A Linux server that has stopped responding or is behaving strangely
- Setting up a web server, file server or internal service
- Old servers that have not been updated in a long time
- Services you would rather run yourself than pay for as cloud subscriptions
- Networks that are slow, unstable or hard to get an overview of
- Uncertainty about whether your backups can actually be restored
What is included
Linux & Windows administration
Installation, configuration, users and permissions, updates and troubleshooting on Linux and Windows systems.
Virtualisation & self-hosting
Virtual machines and containers to run several services on the same hardware, and self-hosting of for example websites, analytics and internal tools.
Networks & security
Troubleshooting and configuring routers, Wi-Fi and networks, firewall rules, encrypted connections (SSL/TLS) and secure remote access.
Who this is for
Small businesses and associations that have – or want – their own server, developers and enthusiasts who want to run their own services, and anyone who has inherited a server nobody quite knows how it works.
On site or remote
On-site work is available in Kalmar municipality and on Öland. Most server work is done remotely over a secure connection and therefore works anywhere in Sweden.

I walk you through what was done and write down the essentials, so the knowledge stays with you.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with both Linux and Windows?
Yes. I work with Linux servers and Windows environments, and with mixed networks where both are used.
Can you help remotely?
Yes, server work is usually done over a secure remote connection such as SSH. You stay in control of the access rights.
What is self-hosting and is it right for me?
Self-hosting means running a service on your own server instead of renting it as a cloud service. It can lower running costs and give you more control over your data, but it requires maintenance. I help you weigh the pros and cons before you decide.
Can you handle updates and backups on an ongoing basis?
Yes, we can agree on recurring maintenance – for example security updates and checking that backups can be restored.
