This is basically my vision of how to bring self-hosting to the masses.

Upcycle an old Android phone. Install apps for Nextcloud, Jellyfin, etc. Do a quick OAuth2 flow with your domain name provider to tunnel a subdomain directly to the app, and you have an end-to-end encrypted private cloud.

For this to work we need:

* Simpler domain name providers targeted at consumers instead of IT professionals. You shouldn't need to understand DNS records to use a domain.

* An open protocol for setting up tunnels[0].

* Nextcloud et al need to implement the protocol on their end. For open source projects 3rd parties can make wrappers.
