Podhouse

Open-source home server platform

A home server that tells you how it is doing.

One command turns a Debian or Ubuntu machine into Podhouse. Then you install apps, watch what they use, update them and back them up — from one page.

curl -fsSL https://get.abeksis.net/install.sh | sudo bash

Update

Podhouse checks for new releases in the background and puts a red dot on Updates. One button updates it — and if the new version does not come up healthy, it puts the previous one back by itself.

Encrypted, proportionate backups

Backed up 6 hours ago

Scheduled encrypted backups of every app's settings and databases. Updating one app backs up that app only, and skips artwork and logs the app can fetch again.
