Runtipi
Runtipi (formerly known as Tipi) is a homeserver manager that gives you a one-command setup and one-click installs for your favourite self-hosted applications. Built with a focus on simplicity, it provides a polished web interface where you can browse an app catalogue and deploy services like Nextcloud, Jellyfin and many others without writing configuration files. With nearly 10,000 GitHub stars and an active release cadence (v4.10.1), Runtipi is one of the fastest-growing projects in the home-server space.
Key Features
- One-command setup — Get a full homeserver environment running with a single install command
- One-click app installs — Deploy apps from a curated catalogue directly from the web dashboard
- Beautiful web dashboard — Monitor and manage all your apps from a clean, modern interface
- App store — Browse and search a growing library of self-hosted applications

- Docker-based — Every app runs isolated in containers, keeping the host clean

Why Use Runtipi?
Runtipi sits between a bare Docker setup and a full server OS: you keep your Linux distribution but gain an app-store experience on top of it. It is perfect for users who want the control of self-hosting with the convenience of managed installs, and it works well on a wide range of hardware from mini-PCs to Raspberry Pi.
Use Cases
- Setting up a home server with media, cloud and monitoring apps in an afternoon
- Running self-hosted services on a mini-PC without learning Docker Compose by hand
- Building a private, family-friendly alternative to commercial cloud subscriptions
