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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Has anyone migrated from CasaOS to ZimaOS?

Is it worth the migration? It seems like a lot of work, and maybe going in a more commercialized direction that I don't like.

Curious what other people's thoughts/experiences are.

I don't see any benefit.

I haven't looked. Not long ago, I decided to just ditch Casa entirely. Moving all my containers out and rebuilding them took me a week or so. There were some apps that I missed something or other on and had to start fresh with. Luckily nothing too critical.

Between Homarr, Dashdot, and Dockhand, I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

I've run CassaOS briefly just to test it out. I've never run ZimaOS tho. ZimaOS looks like they have a larger app store for addons. It doesn't seem like 'a lot of work', especially utilizing CTOZ, but 'a lot of work' is subjective I guess.

They're pretty much the same thing except zima can be installed as an image where casa has to be manually layered on top of Debian using a curl command.
