docs(website): draft the two update bullets for "What works today"
Held as HTML comments in both _index.md and _index.de.md so the next
site update — after the next ISO test confirms the container-image
update flow and the Furtka self-update flow on real hardware — is
just stripping the comment markers, not rewriting the copy from
scratch.

Keeping the live site honest until we can say "this works": the
Phase-1 per-app updater and the Phase-2 self-update pipeline are both
in the tree and in CI, but they haven't booted from an ISO yet. Per
the "only publish facts verifiable from repo or confirmed by user"
convention, they stay off the public page until that test is green.

Furtka Open-source home server OS — simple enough for everyone. <span class="mono">26.0-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

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