What you give up vs Netlify

  • No built-in CI/CD pipelines or Git-based deploy workflows like Heroku/Render
  • App store limited to curated Docker images; no support for custom buildpacks
  • No auto-scaling, horizontal scaling, or load balancing across multiple hosts
  • SSL/TLS certificate management is basic compared to managed PaaS offerings

What you gain

  • • Full data ownership — self-host CasaOS on your own infrastructure.
  • • No per-seat SaaS bill (Netlify: surprise bandwidth overages).
  • • Open-source code you can audit and extend (Apache-2.0).
