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.
