Hey,

did someone already try to set up the openHAB server on a cloud service like AWS or DigitalOcean? Couldn’t find anything about that It looks like that it will be mostly set up on a Raspberry Pi

I would like to know if it’s reliable, if the performance is ok, if the VPN connection to the home network works without any issues and so on

Just stumbled upon [this document](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-cloud/blob/master/README.md) but I don’t think it’s published yet 🙂

Looks interesting, but currently it’s not described how it will connect to you home network (propably via VPN). I will keep watching it, thank you!

Why would one setup the openHAB instance on a cloud service like AWS.  
How would you think this instance would then connect to your physical hardware like a Z-Wave stick?

The document mentioned by @kubawolanin has a different purpose, today known as my.openhab.
