HomeDrive ( https://www.homedrive.io ) is plumbing exactly this! We are currently only hosting Nextcloud, but we plan to support more apps and custom dockers. It is as easy as plugging the box into the home router.

There are still many features to implement, but we are working towards "easy self-hosting at home", and looking for early adopters.

How would you compare yourselves to KubeSail, mentioned above?

Why limit it to specific software, rather than simply port mapping?

HomeDrive features plug-and-use, with no system maintenance required. We target not only developers/hackers, but also end-users who would like to have a small server at home, to host their own data and services for their digital lives. As a result, HomeDrive also maintains the OS to be reliable and secure, which is why we picked the hardware. We are investigating supporting more hardware, such as raspberry pi's.

KubeSail feels like a more accessible k8s+docker apps to me. I am not sure what security model KubeSail is assuming for the operating systems it is running on (or does it assume the OS is out of the scope?). Also KubeSail seems to target mostly developers/hackers.
