What it is

CasaOS installs on top of Debian, Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi OS and similar systems and gives the machine a browser-based interface for running a home server. It offers an app store with one-click installs of Docker apps such as Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Home Assistant and AdGuard, plus drive and file management and widgets showing resource use. People with a Raspberry Pi, NUC, ZimaBoard or old PC use it to host their own services without working at the command line.
