Spinning Up Your Own Corner of the ATmosphere - Mostly Protocols
How to set up your own PDS from scratch - server, domain, email, migration, and all the little details that actually matter when you're trying to run your own piece of the ATmosphere.
Self-hosting - AT Protocol
Self-hosting a Bluesky PDS means running your own Personal Data Server that is capable of federating with the wider ATProto network.
Cirrus
The lightest PDS in the Atmosphere. A single-user AT Protocol Personal Data Server that runs on a Cloudflare Worker.

Existing public hosted PDS options. This also has some things I hope that anyone hosting a PDS will look at. (Backups, account creation and migration will be covered separately.)

Adversarial ATProto PDS Migration | Blog
An ATProto account lives on a Personal Data Server (PDS), and that service needs to be hosted somewhere by someone. There are a lot of options here, like a Raspberry Pi in your closet, a rented VPS in a datacentre, or a batteries-included service like bsky.social.
One thing I hope to see after this is more than just the reference implementation of it. An Atmosphere Account ecosystem where PDS providers compete on UX, features, and extensions can be a whole new brand of competition in the open social web, and everyone should lean into it.

"We plan to add basic account management functionality directly to the PDS reference implementation." LFG.
One thing I've been toying with, instead of talking about "PDS" and cryptic nonsense like that is: Atmosphere Service Provider, like an ISP but for the social internet. Part of the motivation is that "Sign in with Atmosphere" only works if people have seen that before.
