Sounds like a scare tactic. This will only embolden the community.

You can use Netbird reverse proxy to connect your domain to any device on your mesh. Netbird cloud supports the reverseproxy too now if you don’t want to self host netbird on a VPS.

You can use Netbird cloud’s reverseproxy to point your domain to a device on your wireguard mesh.

That way your home server can be under 3x NATs and dynamic IP and you’ll still be fine.

Later if you want to own the netbird you can self host it on a VPS if you’re willing to migrate all devices to your self hosted wireguard mesh.

That’s why my side project energy has been focused on making decentralized solutions infrastructure more appliance-like reliability and boring. So app environment on top can have as close to equivalent advantage as centralized solutions.

ZorinOS is nice to Windows users if you want ui similarity

Sounds awesome! No rush, I’m a big believer in taking the time to do it right, not twice.

Just wanted to let you know that I find value in that + feel like it could help adoption especially in the self hosting community.

Would I be able to sign into multiple servers simultaneously? In case I have 2 friends hosting this on their own separate servers?

I care about that more than federation.

There’s also netbird which has reverseproxy setup options recently in addition to the wireguard mesh.

Do you want database features? Or just markdown style note organization?

I’ve been leaning towards appliance homelab too, but much earlier on in my journey.

I’ve avoided NASes for now and been adding powered external SSDs. May look into DAS eventually.
