Curious if anyone is using CasaOS?

If so, what made you choose this over another?

    I’m using it right now with Armbian on a Rock Pi 4C with a 128GB NvME drive. Planning to move the external 8TB hdd from the main lab PC to this, and run all low power tasks 24x7, and fire up the main rig when needed using WoL. I liked the UI, and the simple install process. But now someone mentioned it, I’d like to try Cosmos.

    I thought about taking a look at it. Then I discovered the site is a single page of fluff and the documentation is nonexistent, so I didn’t bother.

      exactly my thought. Plenty of shiny things but then you don’t even have a good way to partition disks

    I’ve used it. More just so I had a “landing page” on my NAS and pretend what it would be like to have a web GUI on a NAS

    It’s OK. It doesn’t handle RAID, ZFS, or anything other than just a MergerFS setup or single disks.

    I like the built in file browser, as it offers SMB sharing with just a right click on a folder. Handy for those times where you just need a quick SMB share for a bit.

      i don’t like the built in file browser. you can’t drag and drop, no dark mode and you can’t view properties.

      Dont you just do custom install for the dockef compose and then you can change the volumes later in app settings?

    I am using it for media server, Ubiquiti controller, torrents, sync and local http server.

    Simply because it is a nice and simple front-end for Docker.

    Nope. I have a Zima Board that I am actually doing some experimenting with right now and when I took it out of the box…I PXE booted Clonezilla and then installed Alpine…then Debian and I’m constantly PXE booting other things (WinPE, MS-DOS, RHEL 9, etc).

    I tried it and once I got to the point where I needed documentation, there wasn’t any so I went away from it.

    Nope. Plain old Almalinux and deploy my services with ansible. I don’t see benefits in the bloatware that any UI on a server is (for me).

    And I know I will get hat for this from a part of the community but that’s just my humble opinion.

    casaos is pretty neat… had it on my system for like 2 weeks… but it doesn’t respect your compose settings specifically when it comes to using macvlans with static IPs so most of my docker apps were sitting as “legacy apps” which just annoyed me… may give it a go again in the future, but I’m not sure exactly what it’s purpose is other than being a docker gui

    I use it as a landing page for most of my other apps. Its running on my Ubuntu server PC. I have Plex running baremetal. I am thinking about slowly moving smaller services Radarr, Sonarr, etc to the CasaOS docker containers.

    I have been using for about 4 months or so. I like it over unraid which I was using since I dont have to use a flash drive to boot off of. I do miss the app store that unraid has but I know I can just a the docker template but I am lazy
