Runtipi

Homeserver management made easy

About Runtipi

Runtipi makes running a home server approachable by wrapping self-hosted applications in a single web dashboard. One command installs the manager, after which nearly three hundred apps can be added, updated, backed up and restored with one click, each running in its own Docker container. Users can customize how apps are exposed, edit configuration safely and manage system status without deep terminal work.
