+1 for Fleetdm. Definitely a self-hosted option that has come a long way with MDM options. https://fleetdm.com/
Already mentioned and ruled out unfortunately, unless you can find some documentation we couldn't
If it's just android, you may look at Headwind mdm
None of the features i need exist in the community edition unfortunately. https://h-mdm.com/headwind-mdm-version-comparison/
Which seems to be a common thread with the "open source" mdms. Over half the actual useful mdm features are not available for the self hosted version
https://fleetdm.com/ doesn't look bad, would this work?
One of the documentation is mostly useless ones. Maybe I'm blind but i searched for 5min to try and find any instructions at all for their official docker image and found nothing. Seems they only want you using the cloud now even if you self host as i can only find aws or render documentation, there is also kubernetes but I do not have a kubernetes setup nor do I want one for just this single application.
Guess i can try to muck through the docker without instructions and hope it's simple enough without any gotcha steps.
Right, I just spent 10 minutes looking for documentation that doesn't involve shitty expensive SaaS/PaaS, couldn't find anything. That disqualifies it for me as well, sorry for wasting your time.
I'll keep watching this thread, relevant to my interests as well. At work we let ansible (in pull mode) handle the Linux fleet, Android we don't have enough devices to bother, and are looking towards jamf for macs. But I'd love to find a FOSS solution too, our requirements are simple enough (as you said install/remove stuff, change basic settings)
Don't?
Self hosting makes no sense for this
In what way? Why does management of tablets inherently require paying a third party to run the software
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
