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'm running Casa, but I haven't opened up network to the world.

I will say, that Casa is simple to a fault. I still haven't figured a way to easily hook all my -arr services with my vpn container, but I have an old Pi clone running Portainer managing the -arr/vpn connection. That way I know the vpn is setup and the Kill-switch works.

The simplest way is to get the gluetun app (on the BigBearCasaOS app store), get it set up with your VPN, then in qbittorrent do this (with the port):

collapsed inline media
.

You can do the same thing on Prowlarr in the "proxy" settings. Radarr and Sonarr have a similar Proxy setting but you don't really need to put those behind the VPN there.

I don't have any experience with casaos, but in my docker setup gluetun is far and away the best solution i was able to find
