Yes, I’ll update the website with more details about the open-source membership. I call it that because it allows users to easily build and package the required files themselves.

Since this is my full-time job and the RMM takes a huge amount of time, I’m trying to find a way for companies to financially support it, without restricting the homelab community or locking core features behind a closed-source paywall. I’d love to hear any ideas on how to achieve that in the long run.

I wrote a blog post explaining why the unsigned packages aren’t on GitHub (link). However, anyone can still build and package everything without needing a members portal account.

Of course, I realize that most people won’t go through the hassle of compiling and packaging everything themselves, it’s just not convenient. Initially, I expected more criticism for this approach, but I’ve only received a few questions about it. Technically, you could even enter imaginary information, sign in, generate the packages, download them, and self-host them with the members portal API disabled.

 

Hey everyone,

This post is self-promotional, but I was told by someone it's fine as long as it's open-source and not posted too frequently. I'm still new to Lemmy, to be honest.

We've just released version 2.5.0.0 of our RMM, now with Linux & macOS agent support!
