  Don't get me wrong, I think we're mostly in agreement. Though I'm not sure how big a portion of pirating is done by the self-respecting sort.

  Like "It's the HOMEBREW channel. Not to be used for playing copyrighted software."? I mean, I appreciate that they want to play fair with other open source projects and developers, but isn't the entire emulation community essentially "built on lies and copyright infringement"?

  For what it's worth, CasaOS isn't actually an operating system. It absolutely works as an easy way to install and manage your self-hosted apps if you aren't comfortable with the command line, but you still need to have a working Linux installation.

  Yunohost is kind of similar as far as making things easier, but it operates as a standalone OS, so might be more what you're looking for.

  I agree with this. I'm running CasaOS on a Pi4. Having the initial ease of one click installs gives you a great start, then you'll start to find that you need to manage some port assignments, then you'll start learning about Docker environment variables, then you'll be managing custom installs.

  Awesome-Selfhosted is a great resource. Just browse and try something interesting.

  My own recent journey went like this:

  Run AdGuard
  Add DokuWiki, Navidrome, Mealie
  Set up Cloudflare Tunnels
  Add FreshRSS, Homer, SearchXNG

  I also have Nextcloud on a VPS, but the fun is on the Pi.

  Thanks! It just threw an error at me when I launched it, but I'll see what I can do. Based of the warnings in the admin panel, there isn't anything critical for me to address, I just hate that orange.

  Since it's winter and I mostly don't want to leave my house, I busted out an unused Raspberry Pi 4b a couple weeks ago. Started with CasaOS and AdGuard. Have now added a few other services including Navidrome to serve up a lot of local-area music for myself and friends. Got a Cloudflare tunnel set up, then some authentication through CF as well. And finally secured a static IP from my ISP. This is the farthest along I've ever gotten with any of this and it's been going great. Nearly every hurdle I've encountered I've been able to work through.

  Two things causing me grief today though:

  1. I also have Nextcloud hosted on a VPS and I cannot get to the point of running occ commands. First it wasn't found, then no php cli, then just errors. I gave up.

  2. I'm using Homer because it's just so simple, but the theming and CSS is driving me nuts. Sure, I can change colors, but will this little bar in the neon theme change from 4em to 100% for me? NOPE. Override fonts? Nosir. All good though.

  I was really impressed by this feature when I signed up recently! It baffles me a little bit to see newspapers and things not taking advantage of it.
