A beautiful home server OS for self-hosting
umbrel.com »
Get an Umbrel Home for the full experience, or install umbrelOS on a Raspberry Pi 5 or any x86 system for free.
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 a home 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.
umbrelOS is designed for the Umbrel Home, where it includes first-class support for all features. On other devices (like Raspberry Pi or x86 systems), it’s freely available with core functionality, but support and feature availability are best-effort due to hardware differences.
For a detailed feature breakdown, see our comparison guide.
If you're interested in building an app for umbrelOS or packaging an existing one, please refer to the Umbrel App Framework documentation.
