@ironicbadger I have set up Nextcloud on a Debian server running Freedombox. #Freedombox was a learning experience for me but the folks who develop it kept me on track. I have used it for a couple of years. It is solid. I run it on an older pc with a large hard drive. Nexcloud was a click or two and it was up and running. I use a laptop to access it travelling without issues. I also use an Android phone to access it but that has issues from time to time.

Linux Microblog update:
I may have gone power-mad in the face of the astonishing options at my fingertips thanks to a used Dell Optiplex off of eBay and the support of the Debian community.

Linux microblog update.
The push button installer for DokuWiki on Freedombox has gone missing under mysterious circumstances.
Doesn't really matter, as I ended up installing from source, to get the recently added native Makrdown support.

Linux microblog update: I wanted a voice chat server for gaming, so I logged into my Freedom box and pushed a button in the web interface.
Now to deal with CGNAT so I can reach it from anywhere...

I realized I once again installed a server OS as my desktop, so FreedomBox had to go (temporarily).
Back to ol' reliable Debian install media.
This build will be a tuned experience that I hope to run for awhile.
I was disappointed to learn that Hyprland is not in Debian 13, and has not been added to back-ports yet, either. I suspect I'll switch to it as my primary desktop, when it makes in.
In the meantime, I added KDE Plasma as my desktop.
My personal explanation of KDE Plasma is that it is what Apple desktop would feel like if Apple desktop was just slightly better in 100 tiny ways.

I ran Commodore OS for about a week as my daily driver, and then I needed really needed to switch to a dark theme for my daily driver.
I probably could have configured a cool C64 tribute theme - and someday I may do so and contribute it back.But this time, I dropped in my Ol Reliable Debian install media, and decided to see what weird options I could find in the install menu.
This led me to discover FreedomBox, and I think I'm in love. FeeedomBox has an impressive number of pre-packaged home server tools, and pre-integrated with each-other.

Ich habe #dietpi , #cloudron , #yunohost und die #freedombox getestet. Zuletzt dann #umbrel, weil es gute Kritiken hatte.
Um also Deine Frage zu beantworten, ja es taugt etwas. Super einfache Installation und minimaler administrativer Aufwand. -

Reminder to people who are getting into
#selfhosting there's this thing called #freedombox
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreedomBox
You can run your containerized services (docker) on it, easily.

Why is the Bluesky logo nearly identical to the FreedomBox logo? (I think the FreedomBox logo is much older)

I hadn't seen this 18 minute talk from FOSDEM this year but it's quite interesting on the quantum, free software, hardware supply chains, sovereignty, and secure MFA topics: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/ULPHF3-privacy_and_sovereignty_in_a_post_quantum_open_world/
The talk has references to @freedomboxfndn and #Solokeys #freedomBox -
#DIday Wer ein #linuxgaming #Spiel sucht, wo man den Server selbst in einer #LanParty für die Familie, oder online für Freunde, betreiben kann, für den ist #Luanti #Minetest vielleicht interessant.
Es ist ein freies Software Spiel ähnlich #minecraft mit allen Rechten zur Änderung und Anpassung des Quelltextes, sowohl des Servers als auch der Clients.
Von Linux Guides gibt es eine schöne Anleitung zum aufsetzen des Servers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c35G5sFEYAY
Für einen #raspberrypi Küchenserver mit #Freedombox ist es auch als App verfügbar https://www.freedombox.org/apps/
Wer einen #Yunohost Server betreibt, der kann den Server auch ganz einfach aus dem Katalog installieren: https://apps.yunohost.org/app/minetest
Spieler brauchen eine Client-Software, die gibt es für Windows, MacOS, Linux, BSD und Android: https://www.luanti.org/en/downloads/
Mods gibt es auch unzählig viele für das Spiel: https://content.luanti.org/

After days of experiments, tests and trials, I’ve come to a simple conclusion: a product for everyday users must be functional, stable and reliable above everything else.
For something I’d actually ship, my current choice is FreedomBox or OpenWrt with AdGuard DNS preconfigured. Pi-hole and AdGuard Home feel unnecessary for this use case.
If I had to pick one today, #OpenWrt would probably win.

Just spun up a dedicated IoT gateway on a Raspberry Pi 4, this time running FreedomBox + AdGuard DNS. Works flawlessly 🛡️
FreedomBox has a billion apps worth exploring, but I kept it lean: a simple, useful privacy shield for home IoT. No bloat, just control.
Every smart home needs this layer. 🔒️📡
