Hey self-hosting people!
Is there any agreed collective term for distros like @yunohost or @freedomboxfndn which are specifically designed to turn a PC into a self-hosting server with a graphical interface for setting up services?
A self-hosting OS? Something else?

I use both HCP & YNH.

I'm just asking what people call a distro that is specifically designed for self-hosting 🙂

in reply to FediThing • • •I don't think there's a widespread one, no. They're server-oriented OSes aimed at casual users (relatively speaking). On @alternativeto "Server Management Tools" looks to be the most similar, albeit much wider: alternativeto.net/browse/all/?…
That seemed to be the most obvious relevant category where @yunohost is present at least: alternativeto.net/software/yun…
It's crowdsourced and decently moderated, which probably makes it a decent indicator of the general popular picture.
"Homelab OS" I'm not a huge fan of because a homelab commonly extends beyond a single machine to speak of an OS that would contain the whole thing. Proxmox would be closer to it in this regard.
"NAS OS" seems to have wider use to me and probably has a substantial intersection, but it's not the same, since it focuses on very different features.
So if you're looking for an existing widespread one, I don't think that exists right now.
