@MentalEdge @HelloRoot Yes - #Openmediavault is one of the open source projects that I think are driving towards making something that could be close to what I am talking about.
Comment on My Dream of a Home Router / Server
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks agoFor a free foss alternative, look at OMV (OpenMediaVault).
Most of what a user might need is fairly simple to set up in the webUI, and if you know what you are doing, you can still go into the underlying debian system and do whatever you like.

lol no. I used this one for a month and no.
It works but it has the most convoluted GUI possible. No backup system at all iirc. And running arbitrary containers was a nightmare that is not even integrated with the GUI.
I settled on dokploy.com

I don’t use either but they aren’t the same thing to suggest one is a substitute for the other. Omv has self hosting services that it installs for you. Dokploy is docker manager.
HelloRoot@lemy.lol 3 weeks ago
Dokploy has a web ui with a list of services where you click install and it installs them for you.

If doing more makes it better then regular docker desktop does that too. Or apt-get.

I don’t use docker via a GUI.
My backup solution is Kopia. Two servers, each running an instance that backs up local storage to the other.

OP is about solutions that include certain features out of the box in an easy to use package.
Rolling out a conglomorate of those features that you’ve manually set up and ducktaped together by hand is irrelevant. That could be done for many decades already.

I didn’t tho.
You’re confusing my homelab with my dads OMV NAS that is running kopia as its only non-standard service because I wanted to use it as my off-site target.
