## Why do we need Home Cloud?

Think about it seriously. Is control of our data, smart devices and digital assets now only in the hands of some big company?

- Is your photo album saved in their cloud service?
- Do your thermostats, monitors, lamps need to be used through their cloud services?
- Do your personal documents, memos, contacts, passwords, etc. reside in their cloud storage services?
- Are you just going to have to accept their decisions when they decide to change prices, review content or even discontinue services?

It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? We are losing control of our own data!

Our ideal home cloud is one where you can manage all your data, devices and data assets very easily. In your own home, you have absolute control.

  - ZimaBoard, NUC, RPi, old computers, whatever is available.
- Selected apps in the app store, one-click installation
  - Nextcloud, HomeAssiant, AdGuard, Jellyfin, *arr and more!
- Easily install numerous Docker apps
  - Over 100,000 apps from the Docker ecosystem can be easily installed
- Elegant drive and file management
  - What you see is what you get. No technical background required.
- Well-designed system/app widgets
  - What you care about, at a glance. Resource usage, app status, and more!

## Community 

The word Casa comes from the Spanish word for "home". Project CasaOS originated as a pre-installed system for crowdfunded product [ZimaBoard](https://www.zimaboard.com) on Kickstarter.

After looking at many systems and software on the market, the team found no server system designed for home scenarios, sadly true.

So, we set out to build this open source project to develop CasaOS with our own hands, everyone in the community, and you.

We believes that through community-driven collaborative innovation and open communication with global developers, we can reshape the digital home experience like never before.
