  • Having a solution that works for you is never a bad thing.

    Now it comes down to what you want to archive: Do you want something that just works? Great, you’re done - now go on and do some other things that you like, that’s perfectly fine. Or do you want to learn more about servers, virtualization, linux, networking and selfhosting in general? Then there are a million ways to get started.

    I’d suggest to setup a little lab, if you haven’t already. Install Proxmox on your server and run CasaOS inside a virtual machine. Now you’ve learned about hypervisors and virtual machines. Afterwards you could create a second virtual machine to play around - maybe install debian and get used to the linux cli. Install docker manually, run some apps using docker-compose. Now you’re already doing some stuff that CasaOS does under the hood.

    The possibilities are endless, the rabbit hole is deep. It can be a lot of fun, but don’t force youself to go down there if you don’t want to.
