My Dream of a Home Router / Server (friendica.ginestes.es)

What if you could buy off the shelf a box based on #opensource software and hardware that you could plug into your internet connection. You could connect to via Wifi and it would allow an average person to fairly easily configure, via a guided setup, a self hosted Cloud Drive, Social Media server, home automation service, VPN end point, email server and other commonly useful software?

What if that box allowed that person's friends to authenticate and to that box and link a box they own, either close by or remotely. It could extend connectivity and estabilish a chain of trus, provide a level of encrypted backup of content from that box and make assertions about the users on that box such as - This user account is owned by this person, this user account is over 18?

This is a dream. I know I'm rambling. #openwrt, #yunohost, #seflhost, #chainoftrust, #fediverse

@foremanguy92_ Yes. @coopcloud (who I think are more focused on the more technical end of managing multiple servers) have a comparision that includes some other alternatives on the templated #homeserver- docs.coopcloud.tech/intro/comp…

I've also seen that people are building solutions that are a mix of #Proxmox, #Openwrt and some of the solutions above to bring things together on a single server - But that's definately a level of complexity that is beyond almost everyone at the moment (but is perhaps moving the concept in the right direction.
