The little-known “la Brique Internet” (“Internet Cube”) project¹ is addressing a similar problem domain and they’ve made pretty impressive achievements: these “cubes” have been shipped in France to non-experts and it seems to work as intended. The software relies on YunoHost² (which I’ve mentioned before) + Debian. I suspect rebasing YunoHost on GuixSD could help improve reliability (there could be a “rollback” button!) and flexibility (configuration wouldn’t have to be limited to web applications), though of course it’s easier said than done. It would be lovely to see GuixSD help facilitate self-hosting! Ludo’. ¹ https://internetcu.be/ ² https://yunohost.org/
