CasaOS is an open-source personal cloud operating system designed to run on a small home server, a spare PC, a Raspberry Pi, a ZimaBoard, or any similar low-cost device sitting on your home network. The idea is to give individuals control over their own data and digital life without relying on paid subscription services from big cloud providers. It works by providing a clean, browser-based dashboard that you access from any device on your network. From this dashboard you can manage files and storage drives, monitor system resources, and install self-hosted applications with a single click. The built-in app store gives access to popular tools like Nextcloud (file sync and sharing), Jellyfin (personal media server), Home Assistant (smart home automation), and AdGuard (ad blocking), as well as any of the hundreds of thousands of Docker-based applications available in the broader ecosystem. Docker is a technology that packages applications and their dependencies into containers, making installation clean and isolated without complex setup. Someone would use CasaOS when they want to replace cloud subscriptions like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Netflix with self-hosted alternatives, or when they want a central hub to manage their smart home and personal data privately. Installation is a single command run on a fresh Linux machine, no technical background is required to use the resulting interface. The backend is written in Go, running on Linux systems such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Raspberry Pi OS on both x86 and ARM processors. The user interface is web-based and works in any browser.
