Has anyone migrated from CasaOS to ZimaOS?
Is it worth the migration? It seems like a lot of work, and maybe going in a more commercialized direction that I don’t like.
Curious what other people’s thoughts/experiences are.

I don’t see any benefit.
I haven’t looked. Not long ago, I decided to just ditch Casa entirely. Moving all my containers out and rebuilding them took me a week or so. There were some apps that I missed something or other on and had to start fresh with. Luckily nothing too critical.
Between Homarr, Dashdot, and Dockhand, I don’t feel like I’m missing anything.
Casa hits a great niche for me - I do most of my management on-the-go from my phone. It hits the perfect balance of convenience.
I’ve run CassaOS briefly just to test it out. I’ve never run ZimaOS tho. ZimaOS looks like they have a larger app store for addons. It doesn’t seem like ‘a lot of work’, especially utilizing CTOZ, but ‘a lot of work’ is subjective I guess.

The parts I’m worried about are here: https://www.zimaspace.com/docs/zimaos/casaos-to-zimaos-migration#Other-System-Configurations-and-Data-to-Check
Specifically, system-level configs includes storage mounts (I have my NAS mounted onto my app server for storage and that was hell to get working) and non-Casa docker containers (I have a couple).
They’re pretty much the same thing except zima can be installed as an image where casa has to be manually layered on top of Debian using a curl command.
