The Cartofia Platform
A homelab-hosted hangout: a browser arcade, a shared Minecraft world, and — soon — a forum and direct messages between friends. One account, no apps.
Features
No downloads. No installs. Just play.
Browser games you can play on any device: Zuma Temple, Snake, Bomber Raid, Minesweeper, Chess, Maze Chase, and more. Several support multiplayer rooms over WebSockets.
Browse Games →A shared survival world.
Vanilla Minecraft server, always on the latest release. Auto-shuts down when empty; approved players wake it from the browser. No whitelist beyond that.
Server Page →A place to think out loud.
Lightweight threaded discussions — share updates, start a thread about a game you're hooked on, drop screenshots. No karma, no algorithm, no infinite scroll trap.
Open Forum →Getting started
Jump into the arcade, log into the Minecraft server, or (soon) start a forum thread or DM a friend.
One Cartofia account unlocks everything: profile, achievements, friends, server access.
Rack up high scores, make friends, build in survival, and (soon) keep the conversation going on the forum.
About
Cartofia runs on a single homelab server — no AWS, no subscriptions, no corporate infrastructure. It's a personal project built for fun, learning, and sharing with anyone who wants to play. The entire platform is open source.
Start in the arcade — no account needed. Sign in later for Minecraft, friends, and the sections coming next.
