At Umbrel, we believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the convenience and benefits of the cloud, without giving up ownership and control of their data.

To achieve our vision, we're building a new kind of a home server OS. Instead of paying ransoms for storing your data on someone else's computer while they auction it off to advertisers — you can now easily spin up a server and self-host your data and services at home.

Just like the cloud, but one that you own and control.

Installing umbrelOS

umbrelOS is designed for the Umbrel Pro and Umbrel Home, where it includes first-class support for all features. On other devices (like Raspberry Pi or x86 systems), it’s freely available with core functionality, but support and feature availability are best-effort due to hardware differences.

For a detailed feature breakdown, see our comparison guide.

Installation guides

• Install umbrelOS on a Raspberry Pi 5
• Install umbrelOS on any x86 system
