Homeio turns a Linux box into a desktop you open in a browser tab, with draggable windows, a dock, a lock screen, and a command palette sitting on top of your Docker apps, files, and disks. The App Store installs Docker Compose stacks from the CasaOS catalog or your own store sources, and each app's ports, volumes, environment variables, and compose file stay editable before and after install. Containers you started elsewhere still appear with live CPU and memory stats, streaming logs with keyword filters, and one-click restarts. The file manager uploads with progress, previews images, audio, video, and PDFs, edits text in a built-in code editor, mounts USB drives and SMB shares, and shares folders over Samba. A real login shell lives in the Terminal window, with exec access into any container, so routine fixes never need a separate SSH client. Cron-style scheduled tasks restart apps, pull images, or run backups on a timer, and scheduled archives of the database, files, and compose stacks restore from the same interface. Tailscale puts the whole desktop on your private network, while Cloudflare Tunnel can publish a single app on a public hostname with its DNS record created for you. Live metrics stream to widgets and the status bar, and notifications flag crashed containers, filling disks, and failed tasks. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

EveryOS gives the Linux server you already own a desktop it never had: open a browser and your machine greets you with windows you can move, snap, and stack, a dock, virtual desktops, widgets, and a launcher, all remembering exactly how you left them. Your files live in a private home with the usual folders, previews, a text editor, and a trash you can restore from, and plugging in a USB disk makes it appear on the desktop ready to mount. An app store installs self-hosted applications from catalogs and follows each deployment, later offering updates that keep your settings, rollbacks when one goes wrong, and backups of app data. The same workspace watches the machine itself: CPU, memory, disk, and network at a glance, systemd services and logs, available package updates, and a Docker view for containers and Compose projects. A real terminal opens in the browser under your own Linux account, Home Assistant arrives as a panel and desktop widgets with its tokens kept on the server, and an AI assistants app can find or install a local model server such as Ollama and chat with it privately.

Runtipi makes any Linux server a personal app platform where installing services like Plex, Nextcloud, or Home Assistant takes a single click from a curated store of 265+ applications. With 9,500+ GitHub stars and 50 contributors, the React frontend backed by NestJS orchestrates Docker Compose projects for each installed app, automatically generating environment files, compose configurations, and Traefik reverse proxy labels for domain routing and SSL certificate provisioning via Let's Encrypt. The integrated Traefik reverse proxy handles all incoming traffic routing, HTTPS termination, and forward-auth protection for securing applications behind Runtipi's authentication layer without manual configuration. One-click updates notify administrators of new app versions and apply container image upgrades with automatic pre-update backup creation, while the restore feature rolls back application data to any saved snapshot. Custom app stores extend the ecosystem through Git repositories following the Runtipi app definition format, enabling organizations and communities to maintain private catalogs alongside the official store. The Docker Compose override system preserves user customizations across updates, allowing advanced modifications without losing changes. Architecture-aware filtering detects ARM64 or x86 platforms and displays only compatible applications. All apps deploy as standard Docker containers, and compose files can be exported for independent operation without lock-in.
