There have been solid efforts with niche adoption that have quite nice UX like Umbrel [1] that allows installing all the mentioned and a ton more open-source apps [2] just by using a UI. It was spawned as bitcoin node hardware+software combo but expanded and is now primarily about self-hosting.

The rise of better home internet connections worldwide will make this even more attainable for more people. At least on my low-level EU country that has been always lagging to progress tech-wise, we've seen great progress on fiber internet adoption, so I have hope of acceleration.

There are many solutions like Umbrel, but they all suffer from limited amount of apps, and depending on someone maintaining them. You basically have to choose them by which apps you want to use, and how that it will get maintained long enough.

What we need is something more universal, like a more userfriendly docker, or something like flatpak+hub for server-apps.
