// how it works

How it works

  1. Install the platform

    One command or one image gets the platform itself running on your server, VPS, or mini-PC.

  2. Browse the app catalog

    Pick from curated one-click installers for the open-source apps you want.

  3. Click install

    The platform handles containers, volumes, networking, and updates behind the scenes.

  4. Manage everything

    Start, stop, update, and back up apps from one dashboard.

Is it hard to maintain?

That is the point of these platforms — updates and backups are one click.

Who maintains YunoHost?

It is an open-source project at YunoHost/yunohost with 350 forks. Check the repo's contributors and recent commits to see how active maintenance is.

What about security?

Keep the platform updated, use strong passwords, and be careful what you expose to the internet.

Can I install anything?

Catalog apps are one click; most platforms also support custom Docker installs.

Is it free?
