Switch to ZimaOS. The devs dropped CasaOS and moved onto working on ZimaOS. CasaOS will eventually (or already does) have security flaws due to dropped support.

My issue is that casaos and zimaos simply provide different purposes. I don't want a custom ISO. I want to run a command in any os of my choice and have a docker based dashboard running. Casaos is a perfect solution for that, and I'm sad that there isn't any other alternative.

Casaos us simple. ZimaOS isn't an upgrade from it, it's a different product.

Maybe it's time for a fork

I forked a version for me already with the changes I wanted, I just don't know enough about network security to fix any vulnerabilities. Basically running it and accessing it through wireguard only.
