Has anyone migrated from CasaOS to ZimaOS?

Is it worth the migration? It seems like a lot of work, and maybe going in a more commercialized direction that I don't like.

Curious what other people's thoughts/experiences are.

All the time. Actually that's my main interacting with the server.

Portainer mobile UI is shit/non-existent: it's as the desktop site, you need a lot of zoom in and out, but I actually rarely use it. It's useful in the beginning to check containers' status, IP and port distribution and such.

I use Casa for actual mobile management - installing new apps, looking at logs, reconfiguring things on the go, etc. It's pretty rare I sit down and use my computer. Sounds like portainer isn't quite what I need.

I can't imagine running terminal commands off my phone! Sounds frustrating. I can barely type on my phone without autocomplete lol, let alone with arcane symbols. Hacker keyboard only helps somewhat. I occasionally ssh into my server from my phone, but it's a last resort.

I don't use autocomplete or autocorrect so for me it's keyboard as usual in the terminal. Actually I use unexpected keyboard, it runs very well with ctrl, tab etc. Not so nice for writing a lot and fast though. But that's okay, that's not my style anyway.

I feel that I have a better control over my stack since my new setup (debian). Anyway casaos is very limited in the end, I can't control anything outside docker from it e.g. nginx, certbot, cronjobs, files, search... But it sure was a very good introduction to self-hosting! That's actually how I got started with docker.
