Have you considered making your own firewall running opnsense? You could toss in a 10g nic or two
The bobbit worm chronicles is an excellent read
Opnsense has an arguably better UI, and more frequent updates.
You can look into the drama about the pfsense devs when opnsource forked it but the tldr is the pfsense devs were openly hostile in a variety of unprofessional and uncalled for ways to opnsense.
More recently, pfsense devs rushed the wire guard integration which turned out to be so problematic that the wire guard devs had to publicly comment that it shouldn't be included inorder to prevent it from shipping. One of the reasons why opnsense forked a few years prior was due to bad code quality of pfsense.
Also my two cents, if you're going to create this list to benefit the community and you don't want to include too many options, then you'll need to make informed decisions on which projects to include and why. Relying on the community is fine, and crowed sourcing knowledge is powerful, but don't ignore large projects without researching them
Don't forget opnsense for router firmware
Something I've been wanting to work on is a TUI wizard for configuring software.
The thought is most Linux server program use various config files, and in order to configure them correctly it generally takes a few minutes to a few hours to read through their documentation. But a lot of the configuration boils down to passwords/keys, file paths, network locations, a few different booleans, etc.
So the general idea is, for a program, the developer or the community can provide a config file telling the TUI wizard what arguments the config file needs, and this one program can walk the end user through setup and generates the config files. This would reduce the amount of time hunting through documentation and reduce bugs due to typos or invalid choices.
It could go a step further and auto generate keys or passwords if needed, validate entries (ie if the config needs an IP it could make sure it's valid, etc)
Pine64's pinetab 2 also looks pretty good
I'm using it at work for development. At home I'm daily driving tumbleweed for gaming and whatnot. I have a few servers running proxmox with various VMs for self hosting
Much, thanks!
Was just struggling through this last weekend, thanks! Formatting is a little rough though, could you pastebin it?
Ah right, that one. Thanks!
