It's time.
Starting today, Umbrel isn't just a #Bitcoin node. It's a personal server OS that empowers anyone to reclaim ownership of their data & become a self-sovereign citizen of the internet. ☂️
Introducing Umbrel 0.4. This changes everything. Again.

#Bitcoin and Lightning are peer-to-peer networks made up of self-hosted nodes around the world, but the journey to self-sovereignty doesn't end with running your own node.
That's just the first step — running your own personal server is a giant leap forward.
You and your family's files, photos, videos, messages — everything, they have nothing to do with someone else's computer.
They're a part of your private life, and now they can all be stored by you, in your home, on your Umbrel. ☂️
This is the internet we were promised.
Umbrel 0.4 is available to everyone right now! If you're running Umbrel, simply login to update. 🚀
Also new — view your storage and RAM usage with app-by-app breakdown, along with your Raspberry Pi’s temperature and uptime in the settings.
You can now use your Umbrel as your personal cloud with @Nextclouders ☁️
Block ads on your entire network (yes, the entire network, not just browsers!) with @The_Pi_Hole 🚫
Automate your home with @home_assistant 🏡
Self-host your photos and videos with @photoprism_app 📸
Store your passwords in an encrypted vault on your Umbrel with Vaultwarden 🔐
Run your own @matrixdotorg messaging server with Synapse, and your own Matrix client with @element_hq 💬
Self-host your code repositories, or mirror repositories from GitHub with @giteaio 🍵
Download torrents using your Umbrel with SimpleTorrent 📥
And even code using VS Code on your Umbrel with @CoderHQ's code-server 🛠

"In an internet plagued by surveillance capitalism, your Umbrel is your ultimate exit. Grab a Raspberry Pi, toss Umbrel on it, and that's it . You no longer have to stick to their rules, because you no longer play their game."

Massive respect and congratulations to the developers of all the amazing apps in the Umbrel App Store.
There's never been a better time to build self-hosted apps.
There's never been a better time to use self-hosted apps.
There's never been a better time to become self-sovereign.
Remember, folks — there is no cloud. It's just someone else's computer.
This is only the beginning of the personal server revolution. If you're one of the early adopters — pat yourself on the back, because together, we're going to change the world. ☂️
