That's my specialty! My goal with my projects has always been to lower the barrier to entry while compromising as little as possible on things that matter. I remember everything Google and Apple built before they started dumbing it down and removing features. I remember how much effort went into onboarding users and making sure people could adopt things easily. It didn't always work, but I've been very successful in making my entire de-google'd stack useful to my own family.
The hardest part is done, now I just need to make it replicable for others to spin up their own. If you're interested, I've got a repo scaffolded but I haven't published the actual stack installer yet: https://git.circuitforge.tech/Circuit-Forge/turaco/issues
I'm not trying to throw shade on your project nor am I trying to discourage you in any way. I think it's a noble ambition. I hope you make a mint doing it. If I live long enough, I'll be able to tell people 'Yeah, I met the dude on Lemmy before he was so successful.' But if 71 years of experience has taught me anything, it's that it has to be so easy a cave man could do it - as if it just fell in your lap, and it has to be work and trouble free. Otherwise, the average Joe Schmoe citizen isn't going to spend the time. Having a secure network takes work. Keeping up with updates and making sure they aren't going to make the wheels fall off, takes work. Work is where the vast amount of people fall off the wagon.
I bookmarked your project and I'll give it a serious look see. I will tell you that the demo site: oasis.circuitforge.tech, returns a bad gateway Error code 502 from Cloudflare.
Rock on with yo' bad self.
