It supports Docker and Docker Compose management, a built-in app store, a file manager, system monitoring (CPU, RAM, disks, systemd services), an integrated terminal, encrypted off-site backups, and notifications via Telegram, ntfy, email, or webhooks. It runs on Debian, Ubuntu, and compatible systems on ARM64 and AMD64, and is built with React, TypeScript, Hono, and SQLite. It's released under the MIT license. ## Content 🖥️ What is EveryOS? EveryOS is a free, open-source, self-hosted web interface that turns your existing Linux server into a desktop-like management environment. It's not a new operating system, and it doesn't stream a remote desktop. It runs directly on top of your existing Linux installation and gives you a familiar graphical workspace through your browser. Think of the convenience of a desktop operating system, combined with the flexibility of Linux and self-hosting. ✨ What can it do? Here are some of the features I've been working on: Desktop-like experience: Draggable, resizable windows, virtual desktops, widgets, themes, and customizable wallpapers. Docker management: Manage containers, applications, and supported Docker Compose projects. Built-in App Store: Discover and install self-hosted applications from supported catalogs. File manager: Browse files, manage folders, work with external drives, and access your server's filesystem with appropriate permissions. Linux system management: Monitor CPU, RAM, disks, network activity, systemd services, logs, and package updates. Integrated terminal: Access a real Linux shell directly from your browser. Backups and recovery: Manage backups, restore data, and configure encrypted off-site storage. Smart notifications: Receive system alerts through Telegram, ntfy, email, or webhooks. Home Assistant integration: Access smart home devices and their states from your workspace. AI assistant integrations: Connect local AI models and supported agents, including Ollama and Hermes Agent. Remote access: Manage your server securely through solutions such as Tailscale. And there's more I'm planning to build. 🔧 Built for Real Linux Servers EveryOS runs on existing Debian, Ubuntu, and compatible Linux systems, with support for both ARM64 and AMD64 architectures. Whether you're using a Raspberry Pi, a mini PC, or a dedicated home server, the goal is the same: make server management more accessible without taking away the power of Linux. Under the hood, the project uses React, TypeScript, Hono, SQLite, and a separate system agent for privileged operations. 🔓 Open Source and Community Driven EveryOS is available under the MIT license. I'm building it because I believe self-hosting should be powerful without being unnecessarily complicated. There are already great projects in this space, including CasaOS and ZimaOS. My goal isn't simply to recreate them, but to explore what happens when server management feels more like using a complete desktop environment. The project is still evolving, and community feedback is an important part of that process. 🚀 Give It a Try Website: [https://everyos.net](https://everyos.net) GitHub: [https://github.com/goktugcy/everyos](https://github.com/goktugcy/everyos) ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@baturhanpro** · 2 upvotes >  **@bob72** · 1 upvotes > I think Anthropic makes money from such devs that started implementing all their crazy ideas. > > Yeah looks pretty, but why? ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [I rolled my own personal cloud I can access from any browser and I love it](https://daily.dev/posts/i-rolled-my-own-personal-cloud-i-can-access-from-any-browser-and-i-love-it-db3jiev8u) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [This one self-hosted app turned my old PC into a home server I rely on](https://daily.dev/posts/this-one-self-hosted-app-turned-my-old-pc-into-a-home-server-i-rely-on-kvkkxtd5e) · XDA Developers · 16 upvotes · 0 comments - [Dockhand - The Ultimate Self-Hosted Docker Management Tool](https://daily.dev/posts/dockhand---the-ultimate-self-hosted-docker-management-tool-u1z2zdtz0) · Noted · 27 upvotes · 1 comments - [The ONCE app server](https://daily.dev/posts/the-once-app-server-rro6cryxh) · 37signals Dev · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#react](https://daily.dev/tags/react), [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#docker](https://daily.dev/tags/docker), [#self-hosting](https://daily.dev/tags/self-hosting), [#homelab](https://daily.dev/tags/homelab) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/a-self-hosted-web-gui-for-managing-linux-servers-docker-containers-apps-files-services-and-backu-kou7ggc7b) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/a-self-hosted-web-gui-for-managing-linux-servers-docker-containers-apps-files-services-and-backu-kou7ggc7b","headline":"A self-hosted web GUI for managing Linux servers, Docker containers, apps, files, services and backups.","text":"EveryOS is a free, open-source, self-hosted web GUI that turns a Linux server into a desktop-like management environment, running in the browser rather than streaming a remote desktop.
