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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I will suggest CasaOS. It installs easily, then essentially has an app store (you can add other store sources too). For me it was a gentle way of getting used to the ideas around Docker and how to work with containers. After a bit, you'll get to where you can set up containers for apps not in the store. Then you might create a whole stack for your Arrs suite. And then maybe you outgrow it entirely. It's just an app, unlike Yuno, which is a whole distro if I recall correctly.
For public exposure, I use Cloudflare tunnels. Pretty easy to set up (there is a CasaOS package for cloudflared), though the Cloudflare side can get confusing depending on what you want to do.
I tried Zima (because someone said that's the new Casa?) but I couldn't get certain things to work on it, and somehow even though I can see it's made to be easier to use, was harder for me to figure out what to do than even Dietpi. I might revisit it again though
Yeah, I didn't need anything more than the Docker features, so I didn't bother with Zima. Like with Yuno, Zima is a whole distro on its own instead of an app that can be easily uninstalled.
Was it issues with installing apps or something else?
So I've been looking more into it, as well as what others have said, and currently trying to learn how to use the podman desktop (because immutable distros apparently work different so can't just dnf docker).
As for Zima, the Arr stack wasn't really working for some reason, and I couldn't figure out why
