> You also need stuff like networking, TLS/certs, and DNS which aren't easily packaged The only thing that cannot be packaged is changing your home network settings. For this you need to click buttons on your modem/router. Fortunately, many selfhosted programs (eg. prosody for XMPP chat) and distros (eg. yunohost) have check commands or panels to figure out what's not configured well on your network and guide you through the process. Also worth pointing out, Yunohost distro is also intended to be used over a VPN precisely so you don't have to deal with networking setup. Yunohost was bred in the non-profit ISP scene here in France and so your local ISP will provide you with an "internet cube" (SBC) and a VPN access giving you real public IPv4/IPv6 so that: - you don't have to configure the network - you don't have to change DNS settings when you change connection (your server works if you take it with you over 3G/4G/whateverG) - your ISP doesn't get to filter the network (unless it filters VPN access but that's rather uncommon) See also https://internetcu.be/ https://internetcu.be/
