If CasaOS was installed from IceWhale's official installer, you can migrate to the latest release of this fork in place. Run the command from an SSH session or a directly attached terminal; do not uninstall CasaOS first.
curl -fsSL https://github.com/alvins82/CasaOS-Install/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sudo bashThe installer stops and restarts CasaOS services while upgrading, so back up important data first. After it finishes, verify the installed fork release with:
cat /var/lib/casaos/fork-releaseThe command should print the fork release tag installed on the system, such as v0.4.35 for the current release.
Future updates can be installed from the CasaOS dashboard or by running the same command again. Do not use get.casaos.io/update after migrating, because it installs IceWhale's upstream component bundle.

In 2020, the team noticed three important trends:
- The cost of computing power and storage was decreasing fast.
- A part of cloud computing was moving towards edge computing.
- The issue of consumer data asset ownership and attribution had been ignored.
Based on these trends, the team proposed a thought experiment internally: what if personal clouds were available under $100 in next five years? This personal cloud would provide a low-cost data collaboration solution as a personal data center, storing and managing data for creators and small organizations. A distributed collaborative computing network can be formed by personal servers located around the world. It could also control and connect all smart devices, providing cross-ecosystem local intelligent services.
Furthermore, the personal cloud could combine personal data to train personalized AI assistants. The idea is that this technology would be an effective way to solve the issue of consumer data asset ownership and , as well as provide a more affordable and efficient computing solution for individuals and small organizations.

Install this fork with the maintained CasaOS-Install release so that all component compatibility fixes are included.
Install the latest stable release with one command:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/alvins82/CasaOS-Install/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sudo bashThis runs the same released install.sh on every supported operating system and architecture.
Do not use get.casaos.io to install this fork; that endpoint installs IceWhaleTech's upstream component bundle.
The CasaOS dashboard checks CasaOS-Install releases and installs updates from this fork, so upstream updates cannot replace the patched components. Release tags are platform-neutral starting with v0.4.18; the installer detects the operating system and architecture at runtime. You can also repeat the installation command above at any time.
Existing v0.4.17-ubuntu26.2 installations must run the installation command above once to enable the fork-aware updater; future releases can then be applied from the dashboard.
To check the installed fork release from a terminal, run:
cat /var/lib/casaos/fork-releasev0.3.3 or newer
casaos-uninstallBefore v0.3.3
curl -fsSL https://get.icewhale.io/casaos-uninstall.sh | sudo bashThe word Casa comes from the Spanish word for "home". Project CasaOS originated as a pre-installed system for the crowdfunded product ZimaBoard on Kickstarter.
After looking at many systems and software on the market, the team found no server system designed for home scenarios, sadly true.
So, we set out to build this open-source project to develop CasaOS with our own hands, everyone in the community, and you.
We believe that through community-driven collaborative innovation and open communication with global developers, we can reshape the digital home experience like never before.
A warm welcome for you to get help or share great ideas in the Discord!
CasaOS is a community-driven open source project and the people involved are CasaOS users. That means CasaOS will always need contributions from community members just like you!
