Description

Disclaimer: I am not associated nor affiliated with this project. I just think it is seriously cool!

Cosmos Cloud is a really neat and cool project that furthers expand the self-hosted cloud docker idea and solves the problem of insecure and vulnerable self-hosted services and servers.

Instead of just helping with the initial docker compose it also comes with a lot of neat features such as strong security with auth servers (MFA, SSO, 2FA), reverse proxy, gateway, docker- & storage- management, rclone, cron, openIP, App Marketplace, monitoring of services and a bunch more like bot and (D)DoS protection, HTTPS w/ Let's Encrypt.
It also has a really cool API security feature that they call SmartShield!
Cosmos Cloud (server) is a more complete / turnkey-esque option to CasaOS, Unraid and Yuno.
It also features a VPN called Constellation based on Nebula, however this seems to be a paid feature (Lifetime or subscription). The more advanced storage features such as remote storage also seems to be a paid feature.

I came over this project as I wanted to explore the cloud and web services out there but was put of when I realized it would turn into even more maintenance and stress. I just wanted something with low maintenance and with most of the security handled out of the box. And Cosmos hit the nail on the head!

I believe this project will be really helpful to Proxmox users as it runs flawlessly in a LXC unlike CasaOS. So with this project will take out associated stress, danger and time for a beginner (or advanced users) to setup their own cloud and web services. It made the setup of HTTPS and SSL a breeze with Let's encrypt. They also seem to have great documentation.
It is fully secure and has automated maintenance right out of the box!

It is easy and simple to use but also packs a ton of features for the more adventurous and experienced user if they so choose to!
It reminds of Home Assistant except for self-hosting.

I've used cosmos for some time and can attest to both the simplicity and features it provides. What makes it more interesting now is that the developed introduced a bare metal option in version 17. The bare metal is in beta currently and he plans on taking it out of beta next week.

I have the beta running in an LXC and it works well. Happy to help answer questions or support if needed.

Hi! Dev here, thanks for the suggestion @Olaipai, I'm available to support if needed

Forgot to mention, Cosmos also provides .local domain support out of the box. The script should likely include setup for Avahi to support per https://cosmos-cloud.io/doc/2%20setup/#optional-local-domains

@azukaar I grep your github releases for the latest version. We do not have CPU passthrough set up yet. This is only a DEV instance atm, not final.
We are discussing atm if we will add or not. We have the policy to only offer "Bare Metal" installs without docker out of the Box. Do you plan on publishing a guide wich covers dependencys and all that for the dockerless version.
Also, can i supply a config file with database credentials and all other things so we can have that dockerless also?

@di5cord20 i dont know yet if privileged is needed. Finally, what should the default RAM, CPU, and Storage amounts be set for? That we have to try what fits best. Regarding the Avahi, i would leave that out atm.

I'm working on the doc for the standalone service install as we speak, here's the relevant excerpt below
And yes you can create a config that pre-install a DB without docker to include that fully docker-less
What does privileged do exactly?

EDIT: full doc here https://cosmos-cloud.io/doc/1%20index/

@michelroegl-brunner , I'm curious how this script is progressing. I'd like to help if possible, even if just to test.

[di5cord20]

DEV Version can be tested here bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/michelroegl-brunner/ProxmoxVE/refs/heads/DEV/ct/cosmos.sh)"

I tried but couldn't access the script. Again, happy to help if and where I can if possible. @azukaar released v0.18 beta today and is looking for testers. I was hoping to use this script (and modify to pull the beta 0.18 release) for that purpose.

Edit: adding link to latest beta release azukaar/Cosmos-Server@70a0848
