While I personally don't oppose licenses that forbid commercial usage, this is not open source.

Worthy actual open-source alternatives :

YunoHost https://yunohost.org/ GPL3
FreedomBox https://freedombox.org/ DFSG (Debian Project)
Sandstorm https://sandstorm.org/ Apache V2
CasaOS https://www.casaos.io/ Apache V2
startOS https://start9.com/ MIT
homelabOS https://homelabos.com/ MIT

However, I still use UmbrelOS as compared to all of those, It's the only one which seems to work well with my RPI4 and the connected drive with it, despite my modest Linux knowledge (Fedora and Arch on mobile user), and Umbrel being unsecure and retaining app versions compared to upstream.

Thanks, Maybe I will try CasaOS.

Dietpi is a nice option too. Super minimal initial installation and has its own repo of pre-configured software (based on debian) for easy installation of a whole host of applications for selfhosting:

Forgot about it. Ain't that "GUI friendly" but still very easy and simple process through the command line. I don't remember how it went for me, but i don't recall having too many issues with it. I'll reconsider it.
