I’ved tried a decent amount (caprover, cosmoscloud, dokploy, coolify, yunohost, etc.) and there always seems to be more around the corner . Right now I like runtipi, tho I have some issues (komga cant detect my media folder), it’s been the easiest for me to quickly try out many different selfhostable apps on one server. I didn’t know many of these apps existed, there are so many different useful and entertaining ones for different niches/jobs.
Whats your favorite self hosting manager thats capable of one-quick installs through an appstore of some kind? Which one do you think is the easiest to use for non technical users? I’m leaning towards Yunohost for ease of use and setup, but a lot of stuff was out of date. Downside is it doesn’t seem nearly as easy as the others to setup/manage apps yourself if you dont go the appstore route. Runtipi did recentlly make it so people can make and share repos for the appstore, tho I believe cosmos cloud and a few others already have had this as an option.
My first time I started winging it with a raspberry pi, docker, and nginx and it took me like 2 months to get one service up and running and I didn’t feel it was very secure - fail2ban didn’t work, geoblocking didn’t work, and updates were manual.
When I re-started from scratch with an x86 device and cosmos it has been shockingly easy in comparison. Not only is it much quicker to spool the service up (app store), they can be automatically updated, the proxy has options for geoblocking, rate limiting, etc.
I’ve even got some of the services below built from a custom compose file instead of the app store, some use remote storage and some are set up with OAuth SSO. There’s still mild troubleshooting for a lot of things but it’s been much easier for me to understand and fix issues, plus there’s an active discord community as well.
