    Umbrel is basically a skin for DockerHub, not a true OS. EmbassyOS has advanced features such as health checks, dependency management, and an independent Marketplace for services.

    This, CapRover, is not an OS. Umbrel is a server OS. Even if it's argued that Umbrel is mostly the software running on the OS, it is used to manage one-click install Docker containers. It is more intended for easy server hosting, and isn't for getting deep into managing things like database and web servers.
