chore: release 26.5-alpha
Rolls the HTTPS handshake fix (#10) and the README realignment into a
tagged release. Also closes the 26.4 follow-up that the wizard footer
version was hand-pinned: webinstaller/app.py now resolves the version
via a Flask context processor (reads /opt/furtka/VERSION on the live
ISO, written by iso/build.sh from pyproject.toml at build time; falls
back to pyproject.toml in dev runs, then to "dev"). pyproject.toml and
the website version strings bumped in the same commit so every surface
reports 26.5-alpha consistently.

Furtka Open-source home server OS — simple enough for everyone. <span class="mono">26.5-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.
