With it, you can run an entire app suite of your own that looks and feels the same as the one you are probably used to, with the benefit that you actually own your data. It also covers topics like creating a smart home, so that you can connect your smart devices and let them work together however you wish. This includes home security/surveillance cameras, for which you can set up alerts and decide where the footage is stored, so that it is just you who can look at the footage. A comprehensive overview of the topics can be found in the table of contents of the wiki article and the timestamps of the video descriptions. It is a very comprehensive guide, and it has been written in a beginner friendly way. Every step of the guide in the wiki has been individually tested and provides explanations with pictures.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj6HqWCdk3s|title=the ultimate guide to an open source life, i spent 2 months on this, i hope you enjoy it!!!|date=3 Feb 2025|format=video|publisher=YouTube|language=en|author=Louis Rossmann}}</ref>
