There are steps taken to address security and stability concerns. See my other commends on this item. Also you may need to look beyond just the front page - can't put everything we want to do and plan to do on the front page at once. :

I totally understand the impression. But the goal with arkOS is to help people securely self-host with as much stability as possible. Since self-hosting is a complex and occasionally troublesome thing, some people may need help in getting p

There will be a tool that will help with dynamic DNS and port proxying for certain services (this may be against your ToS though). Or you will be able to use arkOS on a VPS too, if hosting at home is not a match for you.

Thanks for your input bsimpson. I definitely agree that self-hosting does present a whole new set of issues when it comes to reliability, security and accessibility. That is why the project has put a focus on developing tools like VPS archi

That is the prime use case for arkOS :) With everyone's support easy and secure self-hosted file sync will be possible for arkOS.

Hi! A ton of progress has been made beside those things. And the frameworks behind them (database management, SSL certificate management, webapp download/installs, etc) are nothing to shake a stick at. Check this out for a full list h
