Apps Roadmap

[GuyFromMars]

I would like to discussed app roadmap/priority. Items in red are high-priority.

1. Reverse Proxy: traefik (alt options: caddy, nginx, HAproxy)
   1. Per-app integration options with reverse proxy (traefik). 
2. Dynamic DNS: ddns, cloudflared
3. Auth/Security: authelia (alt option: authentik)
4. App Dashboard: homepage, (alt options:, organizer, dashy, homarr, flame)
   1. Per-app integration with app dashboard.
5. File Sync: nextcloud (alt options: synchthings)
6. Docker Management (GUI): dockge (alt options: portainer)
7. VPN: wireguard, tailscale
8. Streaming: jellyfin (alt options: plex, emby, "arr" apps)

This is by no means exhaustive, but a starting-point for discussion. This is based off of my own experience homelabbing first on OMV with docker using smarthome beginner tutorials, then transitioning to TrueNAS scale, using True Charts helm charts. My preference is self-hosting first and the ability to keep EVERYTHING local, then allowing cloud options for ease-of-use.

Add:
VPN egress per app (like gluetun), to only allow outgoing connections via VPN interface (for ensure that Linux ISO downloads are only via secure connections)

Nextcloud is a big one yeah.

Hmm, expected alot more input by the community on this one. Hope reverse proxy is high on the list for currated apps, because it helps manage accesss to them all.

New roadmap dropped not to long ago and a template to let the community make apps Hexos one click compatible was part of it. I imagine one it is out we don't have to worry about what we get first

I stopped using reverse proxies in favor of Cloudflare tunneling. 

Edit: Not telling anyone how they should configure their homelab; I just found this to be better for my use case. If I could have a one-click reverse Proxy maybe I'd change my mind and go back 🙂

Yes! Please have Nextcloud, with the ability to easily access it off-site, be part of 1.0! - I spent HOURS, no DAYS, getting this all set up only to work perfectly for 9 months then crash and I feel I'm back to square 1! This is wher HexOS comes in! I want one-click/click-n-play ability to just set this up and have it work.... securely! This would be awesome!
