I started using CasaOS because I did not know ANYTHING about self-hosting and docker, and it really helped a lot.
It was also great to learn about docker and services bit by bit, while giving me the opportunity to have a funcioning system since day 1.
Honestly, I loved it.
Of course, if you know your way around docker from the start, it is probably useless for you.
And I have to admit that now that I know a bit or two, it's starting becoming an obstacle on the way of abandoning it. But we'll see.
I have wireguard built in into my router, so I never looked about hosting myself a VPN. Do you think I should look into it?
