Runtipi

Runtipi is a personal homeserver orchestrator that simplifies running multiple self-hosted services on a single server. It provides an app-store style experience with a web interface, focusing on easy setup and day-to-day management.

Key Features

• One-command installation and web-based administration UI
• One-click app installs and updates through an app store model
• Docker-based service orchestration for running multiple apps on one host
• Community app stores support and ability to create your own app store
• Designed to reduce manual configuration and simplify networking for common setups

Use Cases

• Build a homelab “app hub” for deploying and managing common self-hosted services
• Standardize how multiple Dockerized apps are installed and maintained on a single server
