We size it to the work: a single workstation for a small business or practice; a small rack for a school, a clinic, a farm cooperative, a nonprofit, or a town hall. We select and buy the hardware at cost, assemble it, harden the operating system and the network, load the open-source model stack and the document and records tooling, set up encrypted backup to media you hold, write the runbook, and train the people who will keep it running. Hardware is typically a third to a half of the price; the rest is the work of making it yours.
Why local, in a valley like this oneResilience is the ability to keep working when the connection to somewhere else is cut. In December the roads closed and the town was an island for a day. The internet can close the same way, or be priced out from under you, or change its rules. A community whose records, planning tools, and know-how live on machines it owns keeps functioning through all three.
Open source means the software cannot be withdrawn. Local means the data cannot be harvested. Documented means the next person can run it. It is the same principle as farming the valley floor instead of trucking food over the pass: capacity that lives here. A farm cooperative that wants its own books, maps and market records; a clinic or school that cannot send its data off-site; a shop or contractor that wants a capable assistant that never phones home; a town that wants its planning arithmetic to be its own.
