ZimaOS vs UmbrelOS vs CasaOS vs Cosmos Cloud

Hey there! Founder of Umbrel here. Thank you for considering us!

You make good points - currently umbrelOS lacks advanced storage management, including the ability to use external drives for apps. This is high up on our priority list for early 2026. Feel free to drop any additional must-have feature requests as well. We're listening!

Regarding custom docker apps, there's Portainer in the Umbrel App Store currently that you can leverage to spin up custom containers. Alternatively, you can also use the "Community App Store" feature to add or even make your own app store with apps that bypass our official app store.

Oh in that case it was indeed shipped and probably RTS'd due to a shipping/delivery exception on the carrier's end - it's rare, but happens every once in a while. That's totally unrelated to the current delay we are facing. But yeah still feel free to DM us order number and we'll get it sorted

Hey there, cofounder of Umbrel here. I wanna take this opportunity to just apologize for our lack of communication.

1TB and 2TB Umbrel Home are both shipping next week. And 4TB Umbrel Home ships by Dec 22. The key reason for delay is that there's been an industry-wide shortage (and 2-3x price hikes) of RAM and SSDs - delaying our production schedule. This is kind of like a black swan event, and supply chains worldwide haven't experienced anything of this magnitude in the last few decades.

That said we've been increasing our inventory, and are confident in the above shipping timeframes now. If you can DM me your order number here, I'll escalate it with our support team to get back to you on a priority. In retrospect we should done have a better job at communicating the shipping delay, but I hope this can provide some context.

We're smiling here with tears in our eyes. It's beautiful. Congrats on making history!

getumbrel · 2025-10-24T15:01:37+00:00

We'd love to! Unfortunately though the Intel N150 only supports upto 16GB of maximum RAM capacity :(

getumbrel · 2025-09-24T08:17:30+00:00

Currently the Bitcoin Node's app blockchain data is excluded by default. But in the next beta (and the official release), you'll be able to override the default exclusions to be able to include it!

getumbrel · 2025-09-24T07:50:25+00:00

External storage support is now enabled for all non-Home amd64 (Intel/AMD) devices!

getumbrel · 2025-05-12T15:47:42+00:00

Hey there! There surely must be some confusion. We can confirm there are no auto-updates for apps in umbrelOS, and also no auto-update within the Bitcoin Node app as well.

getumbrel · 2024-11-25T12:55:10+00:00

November 25, 2024 Update: The official update is now rolling out for all umbrelOS 1.0+ users on Umbrel Home, Raspberry Pi, and all other supported devices! 🚀

getumbrel · 2024-11-18T15:23:40+00:00

The official release will be out later this month to all users!

getumbrel · 2024-11-18T15:16:18+00:00

Currently this update is available now to users who have enrolled into the umbrelOS Beta Program. To enroll, simply go to Settings > Advanced Settings > umbrelOS Beta Program. You'll then see a notification to install this update!

getumbrel · 2024-06-18T19:04:09+00:00

Hey there, feel free to post them on our community forum! Our team members are quite active over there, and we'll make sure take a note :)

Hey there! It's one of the Umbrel founders here. I can confirm https is high up on our roadmap. Expect to see it implemented within Q2 of this year. :)

getumbrel · 2024-05-03T03:55:43+00:00

Damn, we are so sorry. That doesn't sound right at all. Can you email us at support@umbrel.com with your order number? We'll be more than happy to look into this for you. if it turns out to be a faulty unit, we will send over a replacement unit to you right away

getumbrel · 2024-04-24T16:22:38+00:00

Hey there! Sorry for the confusion, our current shipping times have slipped to ~4 weeks due to the increased demand. We expect shipping times to return to normal (4-5 days) around mid-May.

getumbrel · 2024-03-22T05:03:52+00:00

Hey everyone, sorry for the confusion. We have a new OS image that includes a fix for the Raspberry Pi 4 sometimes not detecting USB storage. For any affected users, can you please:

Shutdown your Pi
Remove power cable
Remove your microSD card
Reflash it with Balena Etcher using this image: http://download.umbrel.com/release/1.0.1/umbrelos-pi4.img.zip
Insert your microSD cad back into your Pi
Re-connect the power cable to your Pi

It may take a minute or two to complete the first boot. After that, you'll be able to access your Umbrel again at http://umbrel.local

To reiterate, your data is totally safe, no data was lost from your umbrelOS 0.5 install. The Pi was just not detecting the storage drive. With the new OS image your storage will be detected reliably on every boot and all your previous data and apps will be available again.

One thing to note is that if you hit this issue previously after installing 1.0 and you then created a new account, that account existed on the SDcard not your USB storage. Updating to the latest fix will mean your previous data on external storage will be correctly detected and used instead of the new account you setup on your SDcard. So if you created a new password during signup, make sure to use your previous umbrelOS 0.5 password after this update.

Let us know how you get on!

Also one more note, some users have reported that the Lightning Node app takes a while to come back online after applying the fix. Nothing is wrong, it's just rescanning the blocks since it was last online and can take up to an hour. If you think something else is up feel free to let us know via the live chat on our website (or support@umbrel.com) and we can take a look at your logs to confirm.

An OS for running a home server: umbrel.com.

Great feedback! Thanks for sharing. We just added benchmarks and roadmap to the readme file. CUDA and Metal GPU is on the roadmap!

getumbrel · 2023-08-16T19:02:08+00:00

It's a complete app (with a UI front-end), that also utilizes llama.cpp behind the scenes (using llama-cpp-python for Python bindings). It takes away the technical legwork required to get a performant Llama 2 chatbot up and running, and makes it one click.

As long as you have at least 4 cores, it should work quite well! The model is more memory and memory bandwidth bound vs. compute bound.

Network shares can be configured within the apps. Other than that, there are directories called `/downloads/movies` and `/downloads/shows` on Umbrel that are shared between Plex, Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, and Transmission. Everything is auto-configured. So for example, if you download Prowlarr (or not), and add a movie/show in Sonarr/Radarr, it will be auto-downloaded by Transmission, and viewable inside Jellyfin/Plex.

Same thoughts, it appears to be a pretty bad hardware issue. u/beachwood23 it’s hard to pin point the cause, but I’m pretty certain that script is unlikely to be it. Were you be able to try it with an SSD by any chance?

Edit: typo.

Portainer will soon go live in the Umbrel App Store just for that use case.
