Anyone tried CasaOS?

Amadex · October 31

The question is in the title. Do you like it?

url: https://casaos.zimaspace.com/

Are there any alternatives?

I like their self-hosted app store:

I found https://umbrel.com/, but per Reddit that's a commercial version and it's not open-source.

I'm running Casa on a Rock5C at the moment, main reason was the for the AppStore/docker-compose environment - I like to have an easy to use interface for quickly testing out or trying docker applications prior to deploying them in a production or standalone environment and it makes it a bit simpler to do so.

Plus it has a pretty nice dashboard bundled in and you can also also add 3rd party repositories to the AppStore which broadens the selection way more.

I did not test CasaOS yet, will do when I will find the time.
Possible open-source alternatives:

Cosmos Cloud https://cosmos-cloud.io/
Runtipi https://runtipi.io/

Seems like their umbrelOS is open source according to the site and they also link to their github

I remember umbrel being really popular among people hosting their own crypto nodes and other privacy software. Should be good.

From what I remember its just a fancy frontend to Docker containers.

Another one to consider is Cosmos-Cloud. You can integrate the CasaOS apps and others into the cosmos app store (market, whatever) by just adding it as a source. Pretty legit and fairly new considering some of the alternatives. The only thing behind a paywall is some VPN setup that allows you to tunnel to the server, but there are apps that offer that already. I haven't delved that deeply into it, but it's worth taking a look at.

Happy to use CasaOS (more than 1 year) for my Jellyfin server (3 vCPU, 4.5 GB RAM, 125 GB SSD), running with SSL subdomain (Cloudflared) and connected to another storage server (1 TB HDD) with Samba and MyVestaCP ✔️

CasaOS is so niceee, been using for 1 years +++, it is nice that you can run your own container normal way with YAML not limited to their stores apps

just found accidentally...if you install aapnel...you get almost all of these images in their docker section too.

i thought of installing this in a vps where i have aapanel already
and installed this using installation script but IP:81 is not opening so i opened aapanel docker section to see if docker is running or not...but found similar apps...i thought may be aapanel auto imported casaos so showing all those...

but now installed aapnel in another vps and went to docker section and it has all those scripts too.

nice finding actually...
