About HPR

Philosophy

Own your infrastructure

Currently a one‑person operation. HPR prioritizes free and open‑source software, clear documentation, and designs that outlive any single vendor. You should be able to maintain your systems with or without HPR.

Security

Defense‑in‑depth

Segmentation, simple backups, and encrypted transport. We avoid exposing admin services and favor offline, tested recovery paths.
