Quick Verdict Cosmos Cloud is the clear winner. Yacht is effectively abandoned — its last release (v0.0.7-alpha) was in January 2023, and it never reached a stable 1.0. Cosmos Cloud is actively developed (v0.20.2, Feb 2026), includes a built-in reverse proxy, app marketplace, and security features that Yacht never had. Overview Cosmos Cloud is a self-hosted platform that combines Docker container management with a built-in reverse proxy, app marketplace, and security layer. It aims to be a one-stop management interface for your entire self-hosted stack. Current version: v0.20.2.
