## Description

This tool adds a self-hosted application layer to your existing Linux computer — desktop, laptop, Raspberry Pi, NAS, or server — without replacing the operating system. It operates entirely rootless through Podman in user namespaces, avoiding any background daemon, and relies on systemd Quadlet for service management and automatic startup. The web interface on port 5252 presents a curated catalog of over 129 applications spanning AI, media, downloads, cloud storage, security, development tools, and other categories, featuring one-click deployment, per-instance environment configuration, port conflict detection, Cloudflare Tunnel integration, a volume browser, and a REST API for automation. Applications requesting the Docker socket get automatically redirected to the rootless Podman user socket. Setup uses a single curl|bash script that installs Podman, configures subuid/subgid ranges, enables user lingering, and creates the Quadlet unit; a manual podman run command is also provided. Personal and homelab usage is free under a noncommercial license, while commercial use is prohibited.
