OpenStack is a set of software components that run on one or more Linux boxes. Together, they form a cloud thing that looks very similar to DO, but runs in your own datacenter (or in my case under the house).

If you are interested in installing it and have an Ubuntu box laying around, I have some scripts that do it pretty quickly: http://www.stackgeek.com/guides/gettingstarted.html
