Hello everyone!
December is upon us and it is time for me to hibernate. But before, let me introduce you the last update of the year: the holiday QoL update!
Before I do that, I have started a product hunt profile, if you have a second please take a moment to support the projet: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/cosmos-7 :)
As a reminder, and for newcomers, Cosmos is a:
- App Store ๐ฆ๐ฑ To easily install and manage your applications, with simple installers, automatic updates and security checks. This works alongside manual installation methods, such as importing docker-compose files, or the docker CLI
- Customizable Homepage ๐ ๐ผ To access all your applications from a single place, with a beautiful and customizable UI
- Reverse-Proxy ๐๐ Targeting containers, other servers, or serving static folders / SPA with automatic HTTPS, and a nice UI
- Authentication Server ๐ฆ๐ฉ With strong security, multi-factor authentication and multiple strategies (OpenId, forward headers, HTML)
- Container manager ๐๐ง To easily manage your containers and their settings, keep them up to date as well as audit their security. Includes docker-compose support!
- VPN ๐๐ To securely access your applications from anywhere, without having to open ports on your router.
- Monitoring ๐๐ Fully persisting and real-time monitoring with customizable alerts and notifications, so you can be notified of any issue.
- Identity Provider ๐ฆ๐ฉ To easily manage your users, invite your friends and family to your applications without awkardly sharing credentials. Let them request a password change with an email rather than having you unlock their account manually!
- SmartShield technology ๐ง ๐ก Automatically secure your applications without manual adjustments (see below for more details). Includes anti-bot and anti-DDOS strategies.

ANYWAY! In this holiday update, I came back on the most demanded quality of life features on Cosmos, and finally got around to implementing them!
First: Stacks. Cosmos now supports cosmos stacks AND docker-compose stacks, so it will pick up your existing docker-compose stacks, and display them together in the UI:
โ
Click on one of them and you will get the details of the containers. You can start, stop restart and destroy the entire stack all at once as well!
Which brings me to my second points, deletion. Isn't it annoying to delete a container, THEN delete the volumes, THEN delete the networks, then the routes? Well now you don't have to anymore, as deleting a container brings up the delete wizard:
โ
Few other improvements went into this release but I cannot finish without mentionning, ICON EDITION! I cannot count how many times people asked me how to edit their icons... Well now you can actually do it!
โ
OK! This wraps up the year nicely. Next year is full of exciting things and challenges, both for Cosmos and the selfhosting community, and I am very excited about it! I hope you are too!
Next year is going to be a big year, first the next update is the one where I will finally solve some existential crisis about Cosmos, where a few things are not what they shoud be because of the form factor. I might even end up take Cosmos out of Docker, in order to simplify many of the processes. Lots of work ahead.
But for now, I wish you all great holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, enjoy some nice xmas movies on Jellyfin, music with navidrome, and keep your holidays memory safe on Immich, I will see you next year with some exciting stuff!
