There is a warning from a user on Reddit. Might be worth considering before buying. https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/16qekm6/dont_buy_an_umbrel/
The fact that its so heavily geared toward crypto makes me uneasy. Otherwise it seems like an awesome idea.
umbrelOS is licensed under the PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 license.
I’ve never heard of this one.
Source-avaliable, but not FOSS. You can’t take anything with the PolyForm license and use it for commercial purposes. Seems like using umbrelOS to set up companies with self-hosted applications might technically be against the terms of the license. Or even using the self-hosted applications for your own personal use and making money from any of them in some way may also be against the terms.
A custom “source available” license that may not be as clear-cut as intended and depends on “we know it when we see it” by the authors of the license? You don’t say!
Had the same thought…
Seems like the consensus on this one is it isn’t worth it and until they fix their licensing it’s more risky to use as anything other than a day project. In fact, the licensing is kind of dubious for project work because of its weird stipulations.
I tried Umbrel and i hated it. I switched to Cosmos and its great
aaa
I liked it until I broke it twice and it brought down everything. Went back to NPM and portainer so that one mistake doesn’t break the whole stack.
Looks like yunohost with a nicer interface but less apps and less config options.
How good it run?
Didn’t tried yet. Waiting for Debian version but look very promising and begginer friendly.
Glad it’s beautiful, it should be good then.
