In this post, we'll install Duplicati, which can regularly back up our PiCloud/PiNAS/PiWork or PiHome either to an external USB drive, locally over the network, or to the cloud.

In this article, we'll install the accounting software Akaunting into Casa OS, suitable for freelancers and small businesses.

In this post, we'll install the Actual Budget app. It can import transactions from your bank (now also automatically via Enable Banking) and allocate your income into "envelopes", categorize expenses. It supports unlimited accounts and is suitable for an overall overview and management of household finances. It runs locally at your home without sharing sensitive data with any third party.

In this post, we will install the EVCC project on Casa OS. It allows you to control your wallbox, solar power system (if applicable), and communicate with your car. The list of supported devices and vehicles is continuously growing. Additionally, we will show you how to integrate spot electricity prices in the Czech Republic, including fees and peak/off-peak tariffs, into EVCC

In this tutorial, we will install Pi-Hole on Casa OS. Pi-Hole helps filter out ads at the network level, meaning it will block ads on all computers, TVs, tablets, and mobile phones connected to our home network. Additionally, it allows us to monitor which sites our devices are communicating with and gives us the option to block social media or disinformation channels for our own benefit.

This section covers how to deploy n8n, a powerful workflow automation tool, on CasaOS using Docker. You will install and configure a PostgreSQL database for reliable data storage and then deploy n8n from the CasaOS App Store. The guide walks through connecting n8n to PostgreSQL, setting essential environment variables, and performing the initial setup, including creating an admin account and securing access.

In this section, we will deploy a fully functional Nextcloud instance on CasaOS using Docker-based apps. The setup includes installing and configuring MariaDB as the database backend and Nextcloud as the self-hosted cloud platform.

In this tutorial, we will guide you through a clean installation of Pi-Cloud on a single disk, without NAS functionality. We will install CasaOS, which will manage the containers for our applications. Step by step, we will introduce useful applications such as Pi-hole, OpenHAB, Home Assistant, Akaunting, Nextcloud, and others.

One of the main reasons for NAS is - in addition to the convenience of having everything together - a backup of data. We prefer to use "automatic update" of second disc with RSync services. This allows access to deleted files for some time period and protect against cryptovirus.

After installing Open Media Vault, it is necessary to install the Docker container manager Casa OS and the Nextcloud application.
