At Umbrel, we believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the convenience and benefits of the cloud, without giving up ownership and control of their data.
To achieve our vision, we're building a new kind of personal server OS. Instead of paying ransoms for storing your data on someone else's computer while they auction it off to advertisers — you can now easily spin up a server and self-host your data and services at home.
Just like the cloud, but one that you own and control.

Umbrel is currently in beta and should not be considered secure. See SECURITY.md for more details.
The easiest way to get started is by running Umbrel OS on a Raspberry Pi 4. Step-by-step installation intructions can be found here.
Alternatively you can install Umbrel on any Ubuntu or Debian system (both x86 and arm64) with:
curl -L https://umbrel.sh | bashumbrel-app-store.mp4
