Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

For some reason Ethan does not have cosmos on his radar, while they had an update recently too. See v0.20

Cosmos seems really nice, I hadn't heard of it. I'm a bit afraid of having a single point of failure for so many functions, though.

If you're running Cosmos as a docker container instead of as the base operating system, then it just acts as a container management UI and reverse proxy. There's some other stuff built in with their Constellation VPN (similar to wireguard/tail scale) and the app store for 1-click installs. But you don't get any of the storage management tools from the OS version.

You can still manage and install docker containers like normal or with compose files and have them show up in Cosmos.

Oh, it's meant to be run as the base OS! I get it now, thanks so much for explaining.

I'm using it since before v0.10, never had issues. But I'm not using everything. But container management, auto-update, and proxy never gave me a problem.
