The more important question here is: What are you fighting against here? Like you say that you feel like some snakeoil salesman trying to convince you of something.

But it’s FOSS. You can just install it and you’re good to go. You don’t have to buy any license to get the super duper security features they promise or something.

It’s a webui for a homeserver that makes it easier to install docker containers and provides you with some pre-configured security measures and that’s it.

As others said, this is clearly made for people who don’t want to dig into the whole selfhosting thing too deep but want to have their own data and privacy. And that project accomplishes excatly that.

The “features” they promote are the same “features” everyone has who takes their selfhosted environment serious but automate it. This does things the way the majority of this community does it and gives the power of self host to non-tech-savvy ppl.

Stop being so hateful just because you find their way of promoting their features to be “snakeoilsalesman-y”
