Yunohost

YunoHost is a self-hosted server management platform designed for deploying, configuring, and maintaining a suite of open source applications on a private server. It functions as a package-based application orchestrator that installs and updates software from a curated catalog using standardized deployment scripts.

The platform features a centralized identity management system using a directory service to synchronize user accounts and credentials across hosted applications for single sign-on access. It includes an integrated reverse proxy to route network traffic to backend services based on domain names and an automated system for requesting and renewing security certificates to ensure encrypted connections.

The system provides capabilities for hosting personal email services, managing domain name configurations, and securing network traffic via firewalls and intrusion prevention tools. It also includes a web-based administrative interface for managing server settings and a snapshot-based backup system to recover data and configurations.

This management system can be deployed across hardware targets including ARM boards, x86 computers, virtual machines, and cloud servers.
