Best home OS?
I am looking for a home OS with the best ratio of low-maintenance/features. I have found CasaOS but never heard of it before and I'm not sure if there are better alternatives.
-
What are some of your fav panels and why?
casaos it just makes things like backups, offsite syncing and many other nas related things so much easier to manage. And gives you a proper nas like experience similar to that in which you'd fine on companies like tnas or synology. I actually also use it as a replacement for portainer when i don't need the more advanced features it offers

The latest umbrelOS release brings a redesigned app store for self-hosted apps
Also for some it might be very important to know, Umbrel is not "open-source", it is "source available". Meaning the sourcecode is there publicly, but the license prevents you from doing much with it. So some wannabe-wizards are running around here and being all like "uhm well actually, this isnt opensource". CasaOS is also "open- source".

What Os for an old used Laptop to approach selfhosting for the first time? Any guides you recommend for a beginner for Security setup?
I recommend first: Ubuntu server. Second, CasaOS, a Linux based OS with an easy to use UI and a few other handy features. I think it's a good gateway option.
- CasaOS โ A simple, easy-to-use, elegant open-source home cloud system
- Is there a Linux server distro that you can configure stuff like Windows server does?

Ask HN: Tips to get started on my own server
Pull that old laptop from the closet, the one with the broken screen and keyboard which made you so sad to put it to pasture since it did have plenty of memory and CPU to keep up. Install Debian on the thing followed by Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) [1]. Since you have 16GB of RAM in that laptop (or 8 but 16 is nicer) you should be able to run a number of containers [2].
Here's an idea, more or less based on a number of servers I configured for friends and family, based on 8GB Raspberry Pi 4 hardware with 2/4TB USB SSD. Your laptop will offer better performance.
- Create 4 or 5 containers and name them 'auth', 'serveยด, 'base', 'backup' and 'mail' (if you want to run your own mail that is, otherwise skip that one). Their functions are:
> auth runs LDAP, Kerberos (if you want that), a central letsencrypt instance which takes care of all your certificate needs and anything else related to authentication and authorisation
> base runs databases, that means Postgresql, Mysql/Mariadb, Redis, RabbitMQ and whatnot - all depending on what you need.
> serve runs services, that means nginx or another web server which is used as a reverse proxy for the other web-related things you want to run: 'cloud' services like Nextcloud with everything that comes with it (e.g. Collaboraoffice or Onlyoffice to replace whatever web-based office things you currently use), communications services like XMPP, application-specific proxies like Invidious/Nitter/Libreddit, media services like Peertube/Airsonic/Ampache, a Wiki like Bookstack, search services like SearxNG, etc. - the size of your server is the limit.
> backup runs Proxmox Backup Server and is used to backup everything to some external drive and to some outside repository.
> mail runs mail services, only if you want to run those. I always say 'do it' but many people have an irrational fear of running their own mail services. That fear is not grounded in truth, running mail is not hard and offers many advantages over hosted solutions.
While it is possible to separate all the mentioned services out into their own containers I think this adds needless complexity for little to no gain. Separating out database services makes sense since those can end up quite taxing and as such might well be moved to their own hardware in some (possibly not too distant) future. Separating out authentication services makes sense since that lowers the attack surface compared to running them together with externally available services. The same goes for mail services which is why I put those in their own container.
Once you've got this up and running you can create a few more containers to play around with. If you just want to try out services something like Yunohost [3] or Caprover [4] can come in handy but I do not see these as viable alternatives to installing and running services which you intend to keep around for a long time.
Of course you can do most of this on a VPS as well but I prefer to keep thing in-house - the fewer dependencies, the better.
[2] containers perform better and take less memory than VMs but if VMs are your thing that is possible as well

YunoHost, although not Docker-based, is still nice and quite mature.

RPi 4 Build Recommendations (NAS/VPN/Seedbox/etc)
If you want something like that, then CasaOS is pretty great and i can recommend it, especially for a beginner. There is also Cosmos and Tipi. Yunuhost too but a bit different approach. Oh and Umbrel is a thing...

The latest umbrelOS release brings a redesigned app store for self-hosted apps
However you quickly reach the limits of what Umbrel can do, its very basic in its abilities. Of course it depends all on what you (or anyone else) wants to do with it. There is also CasaOS which is very similar to Umbrel but last i compared, Casa offered a bit more features like for example adding your own docker projects easily. There is also Tipi which i must admit i havent taken a closer look at yet. And there is Yunohost which i guess aims at a similar audience but achieves these things differently, still worth mentioning tho.
