Few ideas to verify
So, apart of suicide contemplation at corporate office, I came with few ideas on side projects. Looking for (in)validation.
- FTP hosting -- simple FTP storage hosting service. Nothing ultra fancy;
- Central management for major cloud provider services (SaaS) -- Digitalocean, Vultr, Hetzner etc. has nice API's. The question is user will had enough faith to provide API keys;
- Wireguard web GUI;
- Domain portfolio manager with features like end-date alert, uptime alert etc.
- WHMCS clone;
Any more wild thoughts?

Filehosting site. Something like this: https://catbox.moe/retard.html
For wireguard gui management you want tailscale.

I actually patched subspace for WireGuard web UI...
(Ah... forgot to reply on the pended PR...)
EDIT: Tho it seem the project is half dead...
Please let FTP die. It's a miserable, insecure protocol. SFTP exists now. Though a hosting service that only provides one, less-popular protocol seems suboptimal to me.
Any new ideas to add to the pool?
CDN service?
solar powered only DC .
Public warez gopher server
yes
that’s a great idea, if you have the resources to maintain them. Not many players in this space
yes please.
Someone is selling my ideas secretly
None was ever released due to procrastination and ADHD that I diagnosed with LowEndDoctors.
front end to fiverr with a five percent mark up.
Yes, that is quite possible. In Python, for instance, you'd want to dynamically import all plugins, and add them to a global associative array, and then call their functions, etc., when required.
I'm actually working on a VPS panel for NATed VPSes. It relies on a bunch of daemons to work (HTTP), but the end result is that you are able to create VPSes (NATed), forward ports, and so on. All I'll say is that if it's ready in a few days, expect it to beat NanoKVM, with a special twist, with no sign-up requirements (certain countries are blacklisted, though).
Outstanding! That's the idea I'am looking for. Unique, insanely niche, interesting. C'mon guys, brainstorm!
A nice webinterface for Restic backups. There are a few attempts out there, but none of them really work. Could be done as a framework for handling backups with plugins for Restic, Borg, Kopia or whatever your choice of backend is.
I offer that, but only for images.
4 is a good idea.
Blocking countries sounds easy, however, its also easy to circumvent.
People will circumvent it and you have to block the methods they use.
People who are legit, might get blocked and people who know how circumvent this will do so, since you don't verify anything else, nothing stops them from applying again, again and again.
With 15GB of Traffic, unlikely anyone is going to abuse it Traffic related with VPN's and Torrent, expect CPU or I/O abuse, its rather unlikely.
Yeah, those are some good points, I will say. Only real concern is outbound SMTP, IMAP, SSH, RDP, etc., traffic, but as long as those are blocked, I think it'll be fine.
