# Joining a Clan network
|
|
|
|
## General Description
|
|
|
|
Joining a self-hosted infrastructure involves connecting to a network, server, or system that is privately owned and managed, instead of being hosted by a third-party service provider. This could be a business's internal server, a private cloud setup, or any other private IT infrastructure that is not publicly accessible or controlled by outside entities.

## Stories
|
|
|
|
### Story 1: Joining a private network
|
|
|
|
Alice' son Bob has never heard of Clan, but receives an invitation URL from Alice who already set up private Clan network for her family.
|
|
|
|
Bob opens the invitation link and lands on the Clan website. He quickly learns about what Clan is and can see that the invitation is for a private network of his family that hosts a number of services, like a private voice chat and a photo sharing platform.
|
|
|
|
Bob decides to join the network and follows the instructions to install the Clan tool on his computer.
|
|
|
|
Feeding the invitation link to the Clan tool, bob registers his machine with the network.
|
|
|
|
All programs required to interact with the network will be installed and configured automatically and securely.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, bob can customize the configuration of these programs through a simplified configuration interface.
|
|
|
|
### Story 2: Receiving breaking changes
|
|
|
|
The Clan family network which Bob is part of received an update.
|
|
|
|
The existing photo sharing service has been removed and replaced with another alternative service. The new photo sharing service requires a different client app to view and upload photos.
|
|
|
|
Bob accepts the update. Now his environment will be updated. The old client software will be removed and the new one installed.
|
|
|
|
Because Bob has customized the previous photo viewing app, he is notified that this customization is no longer valid, as the software has been removed (deprecation message).l
|
|
|
|
Optionally, Bob can now customize the new photo viewing software through his Clan configuration app or via a config file.
