Regarding the social network piece, I’d like to see a push in the worldwide OSS community to make an installer for self hosted federated services. I know it’s not realistic to make that completely push-button, but something that will take local machine config and connection information and then configure docker and the necessary containers for whatever services the person wants to host.
I’d start the project myself but my coding ability amounts to only a little more than hello world in a couple languages.
Already exists.

Not using it myself as I like to play with docker but I'd try it if I want to host a Lemmy instance e.g.
It has multiple federated apps available:
