umbrelOS is a home server operating system for self-hosting apps on your own hardware, with an app store of 300+ one-click installable applications. It lets users store files and photos, run AI agents and local LLMs, and operate a Bitcoin node from a personal home cloud.

Use cases

  • self-host my files and photos at home instead of paying for cloud storage
  • run a personal home server OS on a Raspberry Pi 5 or x86 machine
  • install self-hosted apps with one click from an app store
  • run my own Bitcoin node and connect wallets to it
  • run local AI agents and Ollama on my own hardware
  • replace cloud services with a private home cloud I control

When to choose

  • you want a polished, beginner-friendly home server experience with an app store
  • you want to self-host files, photos, media, and services on a Raspberry Pi or x86 box
  • you want to run a Bitcoin/Lightning node alongside your other self-hosted apps

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose OS with full root-level control over the underlying system
  • you want to self-host on non-Linux platforms like Windows or macOS natively
  • you need first-class support and all features without buying Umbrel hardware, since DIY installs are best-effort
