What is EmbassyOS?
EmbassyOS is a Linux-based, browser-accessible operating system that enables users to easily discover, install, configure, manage dependencies, and monitor self-hosted software services on a personal server. Designed to make self-hosting accessible to a wide range of users, EmbassyOS offers an intuitive graphical user interface that eliminates the need for command-line expertise. Its advanced dependency management and sensible default configurations with customization options empower users to run open-source software on their own server without extensive systems administration knowledge. EmbassyOS is open-source and available for free download and manual compilation by experienced developers. For less technical users, a pre-compiled version can be purchased from Start9, which also offers physical servers pre-installed with EmbassyOS for a turnkey self-hosting experience
