chore: release 26.6-alpha
Rolls the apps-catalog split, the /settings CSS wrap fix, and the version
bump to 26.6-alpha across pyproject + website copy. Core release tarball
still carries apps/fileshare as the offline first-boot seed; the new
daniel/furtka-apps catalog (tagged 26.6-alpha today) is the authoritative
source on boxes that have synced at least once.

Furtka Open-source home server OS — simple enough for everyone. <span class="mono">26.6-alpha</span> — work in progress

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.
