I've never seem the appeal of any if these sorts of solutions. It's really easy to just spin up proxmox then build an lxc.

Eh, it is what it is. I have a full family life and a job screwing with computers all week. I don't want to deal with spinning up, troubleshooting, and maintaining a mini devops stack.
I don't want to spend so much personal time to keep up with all the management and config, but I don't think that means someone like me should have to live in a big tech world. If there's a good framework that helps keep things easy to manage and secure for a minimal amount of input and time, even if I could run most of it myself manually with a lot more time investment, there's no reason not to, IMHO.
Hey, not knocking it. If the tool suits the use case then have at it. Just never seen the appeal.
I have those same things. Reason I like proxmox over something else is I have full control. Had too many issues on things like TrueNAS scale where I had control taken away from me.
These are different things. This project is more like a guide to running things kind of manually with their toolset they've constructed.
CasaOS is really based around the UI.
Cosmos is more about a desktop-like admin interface that can import CasaOS recipes or whatever they call them. Seems to also support multiple users and have some host tuning that Casa lacks.
It just depends on which route you want to go.
Yeah, I know they're different. I was just giving some background about what was going on, sorry if I confused.
Just wondering if anyone has used what seems to be their compose/swarm config tool "abra", especially multiserver, and have any feedback about it. I like that it seems to be pretty agnostic after doing its work, they say you can backup and export the config and use it elsewhere mostly as-is. Just can't see much anywhere else about it.
@jawsua at least a couple of organisations are using co-op cloud in production with multiple servers (we have about 25 servers we're managing at @autonomic ). There's at least one group using co-op cloud "recipes" (app configs) without abra, the recipe collection / commandline tool / organising federation are intended to be useful as three separate pieces, as well as combined –3wordchant
