I tried it 3 months ago. It looked nice had some cool features, but It didn't fit into my personal selfhosted Home server.

This is more or like to help less-tech savy people to secure their infrastructure, which is a good point, but can't replace a complex wireguard, VPN, opnsense, 2FA , self-signed CA, docker installation.

It's a bit like Nginx proxy manager, it's good enough, does what it is suposed to do with minimal user inputs. Less prone to error, security issues...

Exactly! I am that kind of user. It fits my needs perfectly, where CasaOS falls very short.

There must be a term for middle-ground people like me. I've used computers my whole life, as a kid I portfowarded to host WC3 servers, as a teenager I self-hosted minecraft servers both on my pc and rented linux servers. I'm a software developer and I've dabbled in dozens of technologies and have a decent understanding of so many computer/IT related things that most people don't even know exists.

I'm trying to say I think I'm a tech wizard but putting me in the "less tech savvy" bucket with my mom feels weird. Self hosting was a nightmare to get setup. There's just too much shit to learn and when all you want is a Sonarr/radarr/jellyfin setup you're just figure out the important details and get the damn thing working before you forget it all.

I like having all the customization available to me but I only want to learn details that are relevant to what I'm trying to do. It's like game developers using Unity instead of writing their own physics engine. Yeah sure I could study real hard and painstakingly implement my own engine but it's going to take fucking forever and there will be ever-present hidden issues plaguing me as I make the part of the game I actually care about.

Power user!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_user

A power user is a user of computers, software and other electronic devices, who uses advanced features of computer hardware,[1][2][3] operating systems,[4] programs, or websites[5] which are not used by the average user. A power user might not have extensive technical knowledge of the systems they use[6] but is rather characterized by competence or desire to make the most intensive use of computer programs or systems.
