Umbrel is currently in beta and not considered secure. Please see SECURITY.md for more details.

The easiest way to get started is by running Umbrel OS on a Raspberry Pi 4. Step-by-step installation intructions can be found here.

Alternatively you can install Umbrel on any Ubuntu or Debian based system with:

curl -L https://umbrel.sh | bash

With the latest release of Umbrel 0.5, a lot of the underlying architecture of the project has changed. This section will be re-written in the next couple of days with up-to-date development instructions.

If you're interested in packaging or building Umbrel apps, please refer to our documentation here.
