Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Which of the three is best for someone who wants things extremely simple but secure? From what I can tell CasaOS is the simplest, but Cosmos is the most secure, and I think Yunohost falls in the middle?

I really like CasaOS and if you're just getting started then it's really friendly. But if I were to start fresh today I would probably go YunoHost because it seems to have the biggest community around it.

Haven't heard of Cosmos but it looks interesting and seems to have some features like reverse proxy baked in that would otherwise need a container like nginx proxy manager. It doesn't seem to have very many pre-approved apps however.
