Iā€™ve seen a lot of people saying things that amount to ā€œthose tech nerds need to understand that nobody wants to use the command line!ā€, but I donā€™t actually think thatā€™s the hardest part of self-hosting today. I mean, even with a really slick GUI like ASUSTOR NASes provide, getting a reliable, non-NATed connection, with an SSL certificate, some kind of basic DDOS protection, backups, and working outgoing email (ugh), is a huge pain in the ass.

Am I wrong? Would a Sandstorm-like GUI for deploying Docker images solve all of our problems? What can we do to reshape the network such that people can more easily run their own stuff?

So you want non-technical people to set up botnet members?

Thereā€™s this thing called ā€˜moneyā€™ which people who canā€™t do a thing give other people who can do the thing well to make them do the thing.

This seems unnecessarily snarky.
