I spent a little time testing Kubesail when I was testing the PiBox, and I have to say I really liked it. I typically don't run 'managed' solutions for K8s, but the way everything connected together gave me Rancher Labs vibes, it was simple to use and mostly intuitive. With a little more polish I could see myself recommending it to more people, especially in tandem with units like the PiBox.

Love the product and hope to see more success in this space. Will it be easy for users to bring their own domain and/or buy one through you, or will they have to use a domain you control to use KubeSail tunneling?

  It's already nice and easy - users can even add custom domains on our free-tier currently!

Would you mind addressing this user's concerns [0] regarding the power supply? There's a serious allure to a NAS that actually runs a real OS and not some weird proprietary thing that's going to get pwned [1], and also isn't just a computer that I'm not using anymore.

  ...too late to edit, but the comment I was trying to bring attention to [0] has received a response by another founder in re power, and the 15w advertised is actually a 17.5w supply [1], according to the parts list of the DIY edition on the Kickstarter page [2], which is apparently enough to supply everything consistently.
