Right? Maybe the FreedomBox suite just feels scarce after the Yunohosts and the CasaOSs that have appeared in the meantime with much larger app offerings.
Nowadays people are spoilt for choice — and I’m not complaining! — so maybe there’s a market for a FreedomBox-like plug server with a Docker setup out of the box and a GUI to Docker hub?
Edit: It actually looks like CasaOS are trying for something like that with their Zimaboard single board server. I’m a little wary that the company is based in China but I’m also typing this on my Oneplus phone, so who am I to judge.
@halm I tried Yunohost, but have to admit it confused me right at the install stage. I’m getting older and it doesn’t take much. FreedomBox had issues when I installed Wordpress. Something to do with permissions, which I don’t want to change from the default Debian settings. The barrier of entry is still too high for self-hosting for most of us.
I tried yunohost for a few months and wasn’t perfectly happy with it either; the file system got too messy for me. The install isn’t the most straightforward but I got there in the second attempt 😉

@halm I’ll give it another shot. :-) I really want to support the Debian Blend FreedomBox but it may not be my best option. :(
Well, CasaOS is also Debian based, supports Docker, and the developers sell what is essentially plug computers with it pre-installed…
