StartOS – Turn any device into a private self-hosted server (run your own cloud, apps & services) (sh.itjust.works)

StartOS is an open-source operating system that lets you run your own personal server at home.

You can self-host apps like Nextcloud, messaging platforms, and even Bitcoin nodes — all in isolated containers with simple one-click installs.

It handles setup, updates, backups, and networking, so you don’t need advanced Linux knowledge to get started.

A powerful way to take full control of your data and services.

What is the .claude folder?

It’s just a config/cache folder used by Claude (AI tool) not related to StartOS itself.

This looks really nice! I'm a few weeks into my first debian homeserver, and so far I am enjoying the tinkering and customization, but boy does this look like less of a headache.
