Aiden McClelland has announced the release of a major new version of StartOS, a Debian-based Linux distribution optimised for personal servers, available for AArch64, riscv64 and x86_64 architectures: "Version 0.4.0 is a complete rewrite of StartOS. After six years of building, we believe we have arrived at the correct architecture and foundation to deliver on the promise of sovereign computing. Highlights: redesigned UI - faster, more intuitive, mobile-friendly, with a real-time system metrics dashboard; completely new networking stack - LAN port forwarding, Wireguard VPN gateways, private and public domains (clearnet), Let's Encrypt, built-in DNS, and Tor as an optional plugin; StartTunnel - free, open-source reverse tunnel to expose services on a public domain without revealing your home IP; LXC container runtime - replacing Docker/Podman with a reliable, nested container architecture supporting hardware acceleration and multi-container setups; improved backups - differential backups, cross-server restore, and a new FUSE module for cross-platform reliability...."
