HelpOS is a lightweight, purpose-built operating system based on Raspberry Pi OS Lite, designed exclusively for the Raspberry Pi ecosystem (arm64).
Unlike generic Linux distributions that require hours of configuration, HelpOS comes with everything pre-configured and ready to run. Power on your device, and your server is live.
Pre-configured Services
HelpOS is optimized for five core use cases:
Personal Office Server — Run your own productivity stack including file sharing, document collaboration, and print services without relying on cloud subscriptions.
Chat & IM Server — Host private, secure messaging for your family or small team with full control over your data and conversations.
Personal Data Storage — Your own cloud storage solution with automatic backup, media streaming, and file synchronization across all your devices.
Home Router Server — Transform your Raspberry Pi into a powerful network gateway with DNS filtering, ad blocking, VPN, and traffic management.
Mobile Router — Portable connectivity solution perfect for travel, remote work, or temporary network deployments.
Why HelpOS
HelpOS eliminates the complexity of self-hosting. No command-line setup, no dependency hunting, no configuration headaches. Every service is pre-installed, pre-configured, and tested to work together seamlessly.
