In the self-hosted space, I've been really enjoying playing around with decentralized encrypted overlay mesh networks like Nebula. Here's the current list of my faves (all Wireguard based). Open-source projects not-quite-prod-ready: - WebMesh: Golang, decentralized nodes https://github.com/webmeshproj - InnerNet: Rust, with subnet ACLs https://github.com/tonarino/innernet - Wesher: Golang, simple mesh with pre-shared key https://github.com/costela/wesher - Wiresmith: Rust, auto-configs clients into a mesh https://github.com/svenstaro/wiresmith Open source projects with company-backed SaaS offerings: - Netbird: Golang, full-fledged solution (desktop clients, DNS, SSO, STUN/TURN, etc) https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird - Netmaker: Golang, full-fledge solution https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker Honorable mention: - SuperHighway84

This is amazing. (Note for the reader: look at the change <https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker/pull/2516/commits/196b1f...>). There is so little that you stand to gain by agreeing to the CLA (and so much downside for them if they reject it and keep the status quo) that the best thing would be to say no. And I hope that if they do keep it as-is and then someone comes along later and makes the fix, you hound them about violating your IP and cite their comment "we do not have the rights" as prima facie evidence. Make CLA worshippers bite the bullet on their goofy beliefs.

HN is somehow always timely. Currently, these folks expect me to sign a CLA for a one-byte change to their README: https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker/pull/2516

You might find the github or docs more helpful, which are more geared to a technical audience: - https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker - https://docs.netmaker.io/

> Docs are written for self-hosters. These are all good signs. Except at the time of writing, netmaker isn't FOSS: https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker/blob/16d5b5807/LICENSE.t...

It’s not a dead end at all. It serves a specific purpose - if you need to have a packaged deliverable that consists of several (3-8) containers, and you want your end users to be able to easily deploy that deliverable, there is no better solution that I am aware of over docker-compose. I’m not sure why OP feels that way, but I’ll just give two examples of great FOSS projects that live on the bleeding edge that I work with every day that offer docker compose deliverables as their #1 way to get going in prod: 1. Supabase: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/docker/dock... 2. Netmaker: https://github.com/gravitl/netmaker/blob/master/compose/dock...
