UBOS
Linux distro that runs on indie boxes (personal servers and IoT devices). Single-command installation and management of apps - Jenkins, Mediawiki, Owncloud, WordPress, etc., and other features.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Is UBOS actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. UBOS is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at ubos.net — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What UBOS actually does
UBOS is a specialised Linux distribution designed to run on personal servers and Internet of Things hardware. It provides a command-line interface for the installation and administration of common web applications and services like WordPress, Nextcloud, and Jenkins.
Best fit: It is suited for administrators seeking a dedicated operating system for managing self-hosted web applications on small-scale home hardware.
Worth knowing: The project lacks recent tagged releases and visible repository activity, suggesting potential abandonment or low community maintenance. Adopting an unmaintained custom distribution carries significant security and upgrade risks.
Deployment notes
As a complete operating system rather than a standard container or package, deployment requires provisioning bare metal or a dedicated virtual machine rather than standard container runtimes.
