Hi guys! I was wondering:

What self hosted software are you missing? What would you which existed?

Background: I am a quite Senior Dev and have 6 months between gigs. Would be fun to start a side project to keep my skills sharp.

I'm planning on starting something like that soon since I also wanna build my own router/firewall from scratch and couldn't be bothered to remember everything about iptables

Honestly firewall-config does a pretty decent job with the firewalling part of things, if you don't need anything too complicated. It's not web based, but can be run over ssh without too much of an install footprint.

I think the way to go here would actually be to integrate some plugins with cockpit-project, which already has some of what you'd need.
