Oh, I forgot that. It's remarkable if someone finally found something to
use Kubernetes for.

+1 to MWL's point.. but isn't that what the Xigmana ppl are doing?

I think I need to ping some people offline then.

My issue with FreeNAS etc was that it evolved outside the basic utility
a long time ago. Basic storage (remote and local) is still massively in
demand. Provide NFS, SMB, do it over WireGuard, whatever.

There is NextCloud but there should be simpler alternatives..
