chore: release 26.7-alpha
Ships the open_url manifest field + the Open button in /apps and on
the landing page, replacing the fileshare-only hardcoded deep-link
with a generalised {host}-templated URL. Fileshare seed manifest
bumps to 0.1.2; the furtka-apps catalog release that goes with this
adds matching open_url values for fileshare + uptime-kuma.

Furtka Open-source home server OS — simple enough for everyone. <span class="mono">26.7-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.
