ArozOS is a web-based desktop operating system written in Go that turns low-power hardware like Raspberry Pi into a DIY network-attached storage and home cloud server. It provides a browser-accessible desktop interface with a file manager, disk mounting, file sharing, and built-in FTP/WebDAV/SFTP/SMB servers.
Use cases
- turn a raspberry pi into a home NAS with a web interface
- access my files from any browser like a cloud drive
- self-host a web desktop OS on low power hardware
- share files between devices without installing apps
- mount and manage local and remote disks (SMB, WebDAV, SFTP) from a web UI
- run a lightweight home cloud server on Debian
- replace Synology DSM on my own hardware
When to choose
- you want a DIY NAS or home cloud on a Raspberry Pi or low-power SBC
- you need browser-based file management with multiple file transfer protocols
- you want a web desktop experience with extensible modules
- you have limited resources (512MB RAM) but need a full-featured file server
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade enterprise NAS with RAID management and snapshots
- you want a traditional desktop OS for daily general-purpose computing
- you need heavy media transcoding or photo AI features out of the box
- you require Windows or macOS native support
