Welcome to the Tardis Project

Tardis is a loose group working together to maintain a network of servers and services on top of them. Our goal is to teach practical sysadmin and computing skills, and to promote small-scale computing and reduce reliance on 'big tech'.

Tardis is primarily run and maintained by students and alumni of the University of Edinburgh, it was one of the first projects of its kind, being founded in 1987 within the School of Informatics (formerly Department of Computer Science) and is now a seperate entity, with support from FDX Production Services.

Tardis provides many services to its users such as hosting, e-mail, gitlab and much more. We are a group of volunteers, and as such all services we provide are best-effort and should not be 'mission critical'. If you're making money off of Tardis, you're doing it wrong.
