Self-hosting services empowers you with greater control and flexibility over your data. However, maintaining such systems today often comes with significant technical challenges, including firewall/NAT configuration, data loss prevention, and security management.
The Clan project aims to lower the technical barriers of self-hosting with NixOS, making it accessible even to non-technical users. Our goal is to simplify the installation and maintenance of NixOS machines.
In this talk, we will present the new NixOS extensions we've developed to scale self-hosting, including VPN integration, backup management, secret management, a unified CLI for installation and updates, and an inventory system for managing clusters of machines.
We will also provide a sneak preview of the upcoming graphical user interface.
