History, Mission and Vision

The DISH Project traces its history back to 2021, when one of the family members got tired of paying for Google One, OneDrive and other cloud subscriptions and bought a NAS. This catapulted the desire to self-host within the Devi Nivas Family.

As time passed, another member had enough of Windows and finally ditched it in favor of Linux. This led to him getting a thorough understanding of and familiarity with UNIX. Using this newfound skills and some old hardware, the Devi Nivas Cloud Services project was born in 2024 — its first offering being an SSH proxy tunnel.

In 2025, the domain devinivas.org was purchased. This marked the beginning of the DISH Project. One thing led to another, and now we have a beautiful intranet serving our family.

The roots of DISH are strong and deep. Despite our limited resources, we remain committed to offering an integrated ecosystem of products that can be compared to Google One or Microsoft 365. This is no easy task and will take years to achieve. We anticipate DISH being "stable" by 2030.

The DISH Project is dedicated to the memory of Shri Gangadharan Kurup and Smt. K. Thankamma Kurup.
