chore: release 26.8-alpha (power actions, supersedes orphan 26.7 tag)
Adds Reboot + Shut down buttons on /settings, backed by a new
POST /api/furtka/power endpoint that kicks a delayed `systemd-run
--on-active=3s systemctl {reboot|poweroff}` so the HTTP response
flushes before the kernel loses network. Both buttons open a native
confirm dialog; after reboot, the page polls /furtka.json until the
box is back and reloads itself.

26.7-alpha was tagged on 5d8ac63 but release.yml never fired for that
tag (Forgejo race with the concurrent main push; re-push of the deleted
tag didn't wake the workflow either). 26.8 supersedes it and carries
the same open_url + Open-button content plus the power actions.

Furtka Open-source home server OS — simple enough for everyone. <span class="mono">26.8-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.
