I hear what you are saying, but I'm talking about a headless system, accessed via the browser, that could handle most of these syncing and upgrade tasks over my LAN. The idea is to move "the cloud" to my LAN. I have an always on, 12mbps/ 2mbps connection, which is plenty; and, I connect to it daily anyway. I already do this with an off-the-shelf NAS (4TB Raid), but it is too difficult to configure securely for most people (lots of SSH/ ip tables/ port forwarding). Bonus points for a full RoR stack that would allow me to buy and install gems with minimal configuration.
