Ubuntu Appliance versions of openHAB (left) and AdGuard Ubuntu Appliances are billed as specialized appliance images “that do one thing beautifully” and “transform a Raspberry Pi or PC into a secure, self-updating solution.” Based on the lightweight, container-like Ubuntu Core and its snap package mechanism, the appliances offer all of the platform’s advantages in terms of security, app stores, enterprise dashboard controls, and transactional updates and rollbacks. The first five packages provide secure, isolated versions of AdGuard, MQTT, Nextcloud, openHAB, and PLEX software. They can also run in a virtual machine on an Ubuntu, Windows, or MacOS desktop for testing purposes. The appliances are initially available for the Raspberry Pi, with the RPi 3 and RPi 4 recommended. The first five free appliances provide AdGuard, mosquitto MQTT server, Nextcloud, openHAB, and the PLEX media server on the Raspberry Pi.Ĭanonical’s Ubuntu project has launched an Ubuntu Appliance sub-project that develops ready-to-use container applications based on Ubuntu Core snap packages.
