    Why use Cosmos?

    If you have your own self-hosted data, such as a Plex server, or may be your own photo server, you expose your data to being hacked, or your server to being highjacked (even on your local network!).

    It is becoming an important threat to you. Managing servers, applications and data is very complex, and the problem is that you cannot do it on your own: how do you know that the server application where you store your family photos has a secure code? it was never audited.

    Even a major application such as Plex has been hacked in the past, and the data of its users has been exposed. In fact, the recent LastPass leak happened because a LastPass employee had a Plex server that wasn’t updated to the last version and was missing an important security patch!

    That is the issue Cosmos Server is trying to solve: by providing a secure and robust way to run your self-hosted applications, you can be sure that your data is safe and that you can access it without having to worry about your security.

    Yeah, no, thanks. That sounds 100% like some snake oil salesman trying to sell me nord vpn or some trash because HaCkeRs.

      You know your way around, I’m sure of it. But I don’t, and I don’t have the time.

      I want to self-host but don’t have the time to do it by manually by myself, I really appreciate the container automation it provides. I tried before doing it by using Docker Desktop, Podman Desktop, CasaOS, and failed miserably with all of them, or in the case of CasaOS it just didn’t automate enough. Cosmos targets oblivious users like me and it’s not wrong, it’s just different.

        Then let me tell you this: Cosmos does not solve any of the risks they paint in their vision. You are lulled into a false sense of “security” after they frightened you.

        I have explained my issues in my other posts. Do you have a specific question?
