Hello, people
Has anyone tried one of those OSes ? If so, what are your pros and cons about them ?
#yunohost #FreedomBox #CasaOs
I run Yunohost and it’s good for a dummy like me who hasn’t figured out Docker yet. I mainly use it to run AdGuard Home, Pixelfed, and Lemmy. These Yunohost apps have their bugs and maintenance issues, especially Lemmy, but on the whole it’s been a very workable solution for me. I haven’t tried the other projects you listed.
Interesting. With “maintenance issues”, do you mean long delays between updates ?
I replied to a similar post about YNH a while back. I’m not overly impressed, but different strokes.
re FreedomBox, it seems more conservative in its app selection than YNH, and is either less actively maintained or just deliberately keeps a manageable number of apps to accommodate non-techies? This I think is specifically a Debian-made-simple for that segment who never set up a home server before.
I’ve been considering CasaOS myself for the ease of managing dockers in a UI, but haven’t tried it yet. I’m hoping someone else can add hands-on experience. This and YNH are probably for the more adventurous selfhosters that still prefer a GUI and some presets!
YunoHost > FreedomBox
Develop, please
FreedomBox has a far smaller software selection, and it packages searX (which is not maintained) instead of SearXNG. At least, it did the last time I checked.
