Cortana Cloud

Create a personal place for automations and assistants that can grow incrementally without tying every experiment to a different hosted product.

01

The challenge

Agent experiments become difficult to maintain when credentials, workflows, domains, and services are scattered across local machines and temporary environments.

02

The approach

  1. Use a small VPS as the stable home for long-running services.
  2. Run n8n and supporting tools in containers behind a reverse proxy.
  3. Give the assistant a consistent Cortana persona across integrations.
  4. Treat every added service as an observable, reversible component.

03

Where it stands

The core VPS, routing, certificates, n8n instance, and Discord-connected assistant are running. The focus is shifting from infrastructure setup to useful repeatable workflows.

Next useful moves

  • Document recovery and backup procedures.
  • Move the most useful local automations into the shared environment.
  • Add lightweight health checks before expanding the service footprint.
