Introducing Umbrel App Store agent skills. Ask Claude Code/Codex: "See getumbrel/umbrel-apps repo and build (or test/update/submit) an Umbrel app". After approving 350+ apps and 5,000+ app updates, we've condensed all those learnings into 4 hyper-focused agent skills right in our app store repo. So yeah, that's the entire barrier to building high-quality self-hosted apps now. 🫡

You can now connect two Umbrels in different locations and back one up to the other. This already worked on the same network, but the latest Tailscale update in the Umbrel App Store removes the "same network" part. You can now mount folders from one Umbrel into another in Files, even across the world, and use that as a backup location. So one Umbrel at home, one at your parents' place, and tada - you now have real offsite backups, fully self-hosted, on hardware you own. You asked, and it's here!

Oof, we might need a new "Nostr" category in the App Store soon. Two new Nostr apps just dropped: - Gupt: Self-hosted, end-to-end encrypted messenger powered by Nostr. No phone number, no email, no account. Like Signal/Telegram, but your keys and messages are actually yours. - DTAN Server: A torrent network with no central website. File sharing that runs over Nostr and peer-to-peer instead of one site everyone depends on (and that can vanish overnight).

you might've noticed hermes and openclaw have just been… insanely reliable on umbrelOS lately, right? here's why: both apps now ship with managed umbrelOS runtime context injected into the agent's prompts the agent now knows it's running inside an umbrelOS app, where to correctly store data, that it shouldn't self-update, where the sandbox boundaries are, and when to load deeper umbrelOS-specific guidance basically, the agent stops doing weird stuff because it finally knows where it is you're welcome 🤝

Nostr VPN is now live on the Umbrel App Store! It turns your Umbrel into a private mesh VPN, aka you can securely reach your Umbrel and all your devices from anywhere in the world. Think Tailscale, but with no third-party company and no central control server in the middle.

sure, an ai agent running on your home server is cool but how about a team of them running in parallel, sharing memory, handling your discord, your team slack, your community, all from the umbrel on your shelf? spacebot is now live on the umbrel app store, lfggg

if you could add one thing to umbrelOS, what would it be?

oh shit this was his second block! same guy, same umbrel, same public pool, TWO solo bitcoin blocks from his living room in 7 months! his quote goes hard: "even on this network, the little guys can win" read his full story: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/1t5zlto/solo_mining_with_home_equipment/ View quoted note →

PSA: umbrelOS 1.7.2 is out now. This is a security update that patches CopyFail (CVE-2026-31431), a recently disclosed vulnerability in the Linux kernel.

in five years your home server will run more software that matters to you than your phone does. agents that know your context, your habits, your finances, your family. running quietly. on hardware you own. welcome to the future.

LFG! Hermes Agent is live on the Umbrel App Store! It's an AI agent that gets smarter the longer it runs, remembers stuff with persistent memory across sessions, learns your workflow, and autonomously creates its own reusable skills from experience. And it's sandboxed like every Umbrel app so it can't touch anything it's not supposed to.

there's a version of the future where every household runs a small fleet of ai agents locally. one handles finances, one handles scheduling, one handles home automation, one handles communication. none of them talk to the internet, all of them talk to each other, and your home server becomes the brain of your household. we're closer to this than people think.

> 2TB: let me just try out this self-hosting thing > 4TB: ok this is actually amazing > 8TB: i am never uploading anything to someone else's server again > 16TB: friends and family now come to me for storage. i am the cloud. i charge nothing. i am a generous god.

pov: your uber eats order hasn't even confirmed and you already have a 32TB home server up and running

AND ANOTHER ONEEEE someone just solo-mined a block with @Public-Pool on umbrel 4 blocks in less than a year. the simulation is broken and we love it

if you recognize this blue-purple, you're an OG throwback to the past on the peel-off film, remove it to reveal the future underneath

pov: you're setting up enterprise-grade ZFS RAID on your home server in a single click without even realizing it watch @Nathan Fretz ☂️ demo the magic:

psa: you don't need a mac mini for openclaw you need a home server that does openclaw AND 300 other things
