Why SalvageNet
Useful hardware can do more.
Local tech. Revived. Reused. Reconnected.
Useful hardware, useful again
Phones, laptops, and small computers are often shelved while they still have capable processors, memory, and years of service left.
SalvageNet is building a way to give that capacity a practical second role: infrastructure you can reach, manage, and keep under your control.
Fits your stack
Integration, not reinvention
SalvageNet prepares a spare device to be a good Linux host and connects it to a private network. It does not replace the workload tools above it.
Docker, Kubernetes, Nomad, Ansible, OpenTofu, Nix, and SSH keep their native formats and responsibilities. SalvageNet gets the device ready, then stays out of the way.
Open from the foundation
Built to be understood
