HomeFree
https://homefree.host https://homefree.host
A turnkey self-hosted home router + app server that you can (eventually) just plug into your modem and go through a simple setup and have self hosting. It's in heavy development, so it requires some experience with NixOS to get running, but the goal is to have it usable by non-technical people.
Current features
- Firewall
- Headscale VPN, apps private by default
- Automated DDNS
- Dozens of apps with automated subdomain allocation and TLS cert management
- Ad Blocking
- Customizable public landing page
- Single module configuration for all features
- Automatic backup for all apps
In Work/TODO:
- Better landing page and contribution process
- Admin Dashboard, Config page
- SSO across apps
- Ability sync to a cloud instance in case you no longer want to host at home
- Ability to mesh with friends/family/associates for social networking, distributed backup, distributed CDN, etc
- Getting others to install it and build a community
Aspirational:
- A standard protocol or tool for updating DNS entries at registrars
- A standard protocol or tool for updating modems with suitable settings for self-hosting
- a free DDNS service to provide to users of HomeFree
- darkstar_16 1y agoThis is very interesting. Do you think people will trust it enough in terms of security/hardening to let homefree be their main router/firewall/vpn ?
