End-to-end validation of the per-app container update and the Furtka self-update ran green on VM 192.168.178.128 this afternoon (26.0-alpha → 26.3-alpha → rollback → reboot). Both flows are real — promote the drafted HTML-comment bullets from _index.md and _index.de.md into the visible "What works today" list. The "plain-English Wi-Fi story" was the only one the copy was missing a truthful on-box outcome for, and it still is (for a moment here a-few-days-ago, but the update story moved past that). Matches the commitment in feedback_no_invented_content.md — we only publish after confirmation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

**Furtka** is an open-source home server OS.
|
|
Boot from USB, click through a wizard, and any old computer
|
|
turns into a private cloud for your household — with your own apps,
|
|
your own name on the network, your own data.
|
|
|
|
The goal is simple: **your dad should be able to set this up.**
|
|
|
|
### What's coming next
|
|
- Apps for photos, files, smart home, game streaming and media
|
|
- Plainer language in the setup wizard
|
|
- Secure connection on your home network (no browser warning)
|
|
- Linking several servers together
|
|
|
|
### What works today
|
|
- Boot from USB stick and install Furtka onto the hard drive
|
|
- A wizard asks for name, user and network — done
|
|
- Then: open the control page in your browser
|
|
- First app: **file sharing on the home network** (everyone on Wi-Fi sees the folder)
|
|
- Install and remove apps with one click
|
|
- Update an installed app with one click (pulls the newest container image)
|
|
- Update Furtka itself with one click — no reinstalling for new features
|

We're two people building it in public on evenings and weekends.
|
|
It's early.
