What is it?

CasaOS is a personal cloud operating system meant to turn a spare computer, single-board computer or NAS-style device into a home server. It is designed to be easy to use without a technical background, with a web interface for drive and file management, system and app status widgets, and an app store for one-click installs.

The system runs on amd64, arm64 and armv7 hardware and is installed with a one-line shell script on supported systems such as Debian 12, Ubuntu Server 20.04 and Raspberry Pi OS. Beyond its built-in app store, it can install any app from the Docker ecosystem. Updates can be triggered from the UI or from a terminal.

CasaOS originated as the pre-installed system for the ZimaBoard hardware and is developed as an open-source project with community contributions via Discord and GitHub.

Things to know

  • Officially tested only on Debian 12, Ubuntu Server 20.04, and Raspberry Pi OS; other systems are community-supported or not fully tested.
  • Installation is a system-level script run with sudo on a dedicated machine, so it suits self-hosting rather than casual use on a laptop.
