We've said Roomy's server was like a PDS, but what if it actually was a PDS?
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.

atproto pds self-hosting: some issues and antipatterns | friendmeat
The Bluesky personal data server (pds) repository is weirdly opinionated about stuff that's easy, and unhelpful with the stuff that's hard. They also insist on using a script that installs a whole HTTP server and Docker stack. But if you're gonna use Docker why assume that people don't already have their own stack? It's just weird and annoying. But here's how I did it.
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.
At @roomy.space we've been cooking up the design for the next, ATProto-native iteration of Roomy, and that includes private data on protocol! The first component that we're working on is a group membership service that we're calling the "arbiter". Here's full overview of the design so far!
