Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm sharing umbrelOS 2.0 today because running a home server has traditionally felt like becoming your own IT department—tinkering with command lines, complex docker-compose files, and constant setup friction. The team at Umbrel has just dropped their biggest release yet, making self-hosting accessible to anyone right from the browser: 📸 Photos: Automatic camera-roll backup straight from the iOS app, subscription-free. 💻 Virtual OS: Run full operating systems (Ubuntu, Windows 11, Android) inside a browser tab with one click. 🤖 AI Agents via MCP: Manage and configure the server through Claude, Codex, or OpenClaw using the Model Context Protocol. ☁️ Cloud Imports: Pull files directly from Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and iCloud. 📦 300+ Apps: One-click installs for Ollama, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, Pi-hole, Bitcoin nodes, and more. It’s completely open-source and free to install on your own hardware (PC, mini PC, Raspberry Pi 5) or on their dedicated plug-and-play servers. Curious to know—who here runs a home cloud, and what self-hosted apps are essential in your setup?
