Verdict: The closest to ideal solution right now on the market.
Pros
- Stunning UI & UX
- Great visuals
- Seamless installs & updates. dependencies just work.
- Authentication for all apps using a proxy in front of all services
- Vision: these folks also do hardware. seem to be playing the long game. excited to see where they’ll take it.
Cons
- No WordPress support (blocker for me personally)
- Umbrel operates in a single user, single app install territory. which means by philosophy multiple wordpress instances won’t work. Multi-site would work though. Which is good enough if they happen to deliver. Maybe I can make a PR.
- No systematic & scheduled backups – as of yet at least (blocker again)
- But they seem to have a script to pull it off. Not sure why this is not available. Even an app to do this on top of a CRON would be nice.
- They seem to stress on crypto. Not a big fan.
- No multiple user support
