GitHub - azukaar/Cosmos-Server: ☁️ The Most Secure and Easy Selfhosted Home Server. Take control of your data and privacy without sacrificing security and stability  (Authentication, anti-DDOS, anti-bot)

I am not personally using these all-in-one solutions, but Casa OS has been posted frequently in this sub; Cosmos Server seems to have many more features than that.

Anti-DDOS, eh?

You lost me there. There is no self-hosted anti-ddos solution that is going to be effective.... Because any decent DDOS attack, can easily completely overwhelm your WAN connection. (And potentially even your ISP's upstream(s) )#

Had a router / firewall salesman talk about a firewall's ddos protection once. I kinda laughed in his face and asked how they did that feat.

Of course, he had no clue. But was still very confident in it. After all, it said so on the box.

Oh my god, thank you! This changes everything for me and my planning. I was just starting to look into authentication and properly securing my stuff and was feeling overwhelmed. This adds the features I need without locking me in unlike pretty much all the other alternatives I've looked at. No need to refactor my setup much at all, and if I want more granular control of an aspect I can, seemingly, easily decouple that part. Just fantastic. I wouldn't even call this a all-in-one solution, since it can build on top, it doesn't need to be all.

Good point about the all-in-one. I'll need to find some time to digest it properly, but seems amazing at a glance.

Did you consider keeping the services closed to the outside world and using tailscale to access them? Doesn't work well if you want to give access to a bunch of people, though.

It's that grant access part that meant I need a refactor. I want to start hosting our photos and other media and while tailscale and similar sort of work OK for that it's not ideal for multiple users and mobile devices work but not as smooth etc.

Yo, fuck, this seems too good to be true. But I just completely re-initialised my NAS.. 😑

If it would be ha-capable it would be perfect. (At least on paper. )

I really need to try this.

That's really cool, I've felt for a while that a middle ground between something like yunohost and a manual deployment would be cool and this seems to fit the bill quite nicely

Immediately thought this was a Cosmos DB wrapper.

This seems Interesting. thanks! I'll add a semi-ot question: if I'm using CasaOs, can I stop using it (maybe even uninstall it) while keeping my docker apps and configuration as they are now? I started with CasaOs but now I feel I could give it up and start manually handling my containers

It would be a bit of work and you'd need to identify the container volumes but I'd say it could be done yup. Maybe can even find the config files you have currently to rebuild.

So it's kind of like Umbral in that it's a server application that installs and runs other server applications within it?
