# Autark > Plan a digitally independent setup for yourself or your company: pick what you need, see the web of tools that can do it, and learn which are self-hostable, European, or neither. Autark is a planner for digital independence. A visitor (a person or a company) selects needs, sees them as a web of connected nodes, chooses a tool per need, and gets a colour verdict, an infrastructure estimate, monthly costs and a risk assessment. Everything a browser shows is also available as JSON, and a plan is just a URL. ## Endpoints (all GET, JSON, CORS *) - [Catalogue](https://independence.kokal.cloud/api/catalog.json): the whole catalogue — areas, needs, tools (with vendor, offerings, resource profile, precomputed verdicts per mode), data classes, quiz, price table, sources - [One need](https://independence.kokal.cloud/api/needs/web-analytics.json): '/api/needs/.json' — a need with its tools - [One tool](https://independence.kokal.cloud/api/tools/umami.json): '/api/tools/.json' — one tool record - [Price table](https://independence.kokal.cloud/api/price-table.json): the dated price basis for estimates - [Resolve a plan](https://independence.kokal.cloud/api/plan?a=company&c=web-analytics:umami:sh&seats=12): '/api/plan?' — verdicts with reasons, tally, infrastructure, costs, risk, today-vs-plan comparison - [Health](https://independence.kokal.cloud/api/health): liveness ## Pages - [Planner](https://independence.kokal.cloud/plan): the interactive web of needs - [Quiz](https://independence.kokal.cloud/quiz): plain-language questions that build the web - [Catalogue](https://independence.kokal.cloud/catalogue): every need and tool as HTML - [For agents](https://independence.kokal.cloud/for-agents): this document with copyable examples - [Sources](https://independence.kokal.cloud/sources): attribution and provenance - [Privacy](https://independence.kokal.cloud/privacy): what is collected and what is not ## Plan URL grammar /plan?a=&n=&c=&t=&seats=&v= - a: audience (default person) - n: selected need ids (comma-separated). A choice in c implies its need. - c: planned choices as need:tool:mode; mode is sh (host it myself), eu (hosted in Europe) or ex (hosted outside Europe). Only modes listed in the tool's "modes" are valid. - t: today's tools as need:tool (mode inferred from the tool's offerings) - seats: number of people for per-seat prices (default 1 for person, 10 for company) - v: which configuration colours the web (plan or today) Example: https://independence.kokal.cloud/plan?a=company&n=web-analytics,newsletter&c=web-analytics:umami:sh,newsletter:listmonk:sh&t=web-analytics:google-analytics&seats=12 Resolve it: https://independence.kokal.cloud/api/plan?a=company&c=web-analytics:umami:sh,newsletter:listmonk:sh&seats=12 ## Verdict rule (first match wins): 1. Host it yourself and the tool is self-hostable → GREEN. 3. Hosted outside Europe → RED. 4. Hosted in Europe but the company's jurisdiction or the server region is unknown → UNKNOWN (never green). 5. Hosted in Europe but the company (or its parent) is outside Europe → RED. 6. European company, servers outside Europe → RED. 7. European company, servers in Europe → YELLOW; if the data centre is run by a non-European cloud provider, YELLOW with a caveat. Europe = EU, EEA, EFTA and the United Kingdom (data/europe.yaml). Verdict colours: green (fully independent), yellow (European, but someone else runs it; may carry a caveat when the data centre is a non-European cloud provider's), red (data or company outside Europe), unknown (a required fact is missing — never rounded up). A need whose dependency (for example sign-in) is red is marked tainted. ## Needs (67) - media-library: Films & series library (person) - music-library: Music library (person) - audiobooks-podcasts: Audiobooks & podcasts (person) - ebooks: E-books & reading (person) - photo-library: Photo & video library (person) - home-automation: Home automation hub (person) - voice-assistant: Voice assistant (person) - home-cameras: Cameras & recordings (person) - email: E-mail (person/company) - calendar-contacts: Calendar & contacts (person/company) - file-storage: Files & sync (person/company) - file-transfer: Send large files (person/company) - backup: Backup (person/company) - password-manager: Password manager (person/company) - identity-sso: Sign-in & identity (person/company) - notes: Notes (person/company) - bookmarks-reading: Bookmarks & read-later (person) - recipes: Recipes & meal planning (person) - rss: News & feeds (person) - messaging: Messaging (person/company) - video-calls: Video calls (person/company) - polls-dates: Find a date (person/company) - dns-adblock: DNS & ad blocking (person/company) - vpn-remote-access: VPN & remote access (person/company) - search-engine: Web search (person) - ai-assistant: AI assistant (person/company) - ai-models: AI models (person/company) - budgeting: Budget & personal finance (person) - documents-paperless: Document archive (person/company) - pdf-tools: PDF tools (company) - translation: Translation (company) - website: Website (person/company) - blog: Blog (person/company) - newsletter: Newsletter & e-mail marketing (person/company) - web-analytics: Website analytics (person/company) - forms-surveys: Forms & surveys (company) - scheduling-booking: Appointment booking (company) - crm: Customer relationships (company) - events-ticketing: Events & ticketing (company) - ecommerce: Online shop (company) - payments: Online payments (company) - community-forum: Community & forum (company) - live-chat: Website live chat (company) - helpdesk: Help desk & shared inbox (company) - team-chat: Team chat (company) - office-suite: Office documents (company) - wiki-knowledge: Wiki & knowledge base (company) - whiteboard: Whiteboards & diagrams (company) - e-signature: E-signatures (company) - project-management: Projects & tasks (company) - time-tracking: Time tracking (company) - hr: HR & people records (company) - invoicing: Invoicing & bookkeeping (company) - dashboards-bi: Dashboards & reports (company) - database-spreadsheet: Databases & smart spreadsheets (company) - server-hosting: Servers & hosting (company) - object-storage: Bulk & object storage (person/company) - container-management: Server & container management (company) - monitoring-metrics: Metrics & logs (company) - status-monitoring: Uptime monitoring & status page (company) - secrets-management: Secrets & keys (company) - domains-dns: Domains & DNS (company) - git-hosting: Source code & pipelines (company) - error-tracking: Error tracking (company) - design-tool: Design & prototyping (company) - workflow-automation: Workflow automation (company) - transactional-email: Sending e-mail from apps (company) ## Attribution and licence Catalogue enriched from awesome-selfhosted-data (CC-BY-SA 3.0): licence, source, stars, last update, platforms.
