This looks pretty good! Interesting project. Thanks for the link.
I tried it 3 months ago. It looked nice had some cool features, but It didn’t fit into my personal selfhosted Home server.
This is more or like to help less-tech savy people to secure their infrastructure, which is a good point, but can’t replace a complex wireguard, VPN, opnsense, 2FA , self-signed CA, docker installation.
It’s a bit like Nginx proxy manager, it’s good enough, does what it is suposed to do with minimal user inputs. Less prone to error, security issues…
Exactly! I am that kind of user. It fits my needs perfectly, where CasaOS falls very short.
After getting burnt on the unRAID license change and the restriction on security updates, I figured there had to be a simple os that I can essentially set, forget, and easily update when I need, which also uses SnapRAID. I might just try this out.
Why use Cosmos?
If you have your own self-hosted data, such as a Plex server, or may be your own photo server, you expose your data to being hacked, or your server to being highjacked (even on your local network!).
It is becoming an important threat to you. Managing servers, applications and data is very complex, and the problem is that you cannot do it on your own: how do you know that the server application where you store your family photos has a secure code? it was never audited.
Even a major application such as Plex has been hacked in the past, and the data of its users has been exposed. In fact, the recent LastPass leak happened because a LastPass employee had a Plex server that wasn’t updated to the last version and was missing an important security patch!
That is the issue Cosmos Server is trying to solve: by providing a secure and robust way to run your self-hosted applications, you can be sure that your data is safe and that you can access it without having to worry about your security.
Yeah, no, thanks. That sounds 100% like some snake oil salesman trying to sell me nord vpn or some trash because HaCkeRs.
Can you explain your issue here? It’s free and open source. What is he “selling”?
I have explained my issues in my other posts. Do you have a specific question?
