A website that lives in the European Union.
Johnie EU is an experiment in shipping a real, public website using only European infrastructure for code, build, and ship - authored, version-controlled, and served from inside the EU.
The stack
Six services. Five of them in the EU.
Domain
Inleed
The johnie.eu domain is registered with Inleed, a Swedish hosting company based in Helsingborg.
Hosting
bunny.net
Bunny Magic Containers run our Docker image on European edge points-of-presence.
Source
Codeberg
Forgejo, run by a non-profit in Germany. Every commit lives here.
Build
Mistral AI
The code itself is authored and maintained with a French language model.
Why
Sovereign by default — not as an afterthought.
Data residency
Pages, content, and traffic stay on EU soil under EU law.
GDPR & DMA alignment
Fewer cross-border data flows, fewer assumptions to revisit when regulation moves.
Investing in the EU stack
Every euro spent on Bunny, Codeberg, and Mistral makes the next EU-based project a little easier to build.
Built with
React 19, TanStack Start, Tailwind CSS, Content Collections, TanStack AI, and Shiki. Portable tools, typed content, and as little lock-in as possible. See the Colophon.
