It is proudly **free and open-source** software. Anyone is free to use, copy, study and change the software in any way as well as distribute it for commercial purposes.\n\n### Our mission\n\nWe aim to provide secure nodes and servers for everyone where _you_ are in control of your data, not a big company. We make contributions to various open source projects used on Citadel to make sure we're giving back to the community we build on.\n\n## Overview\n\n#### 💡 Have an idea for a feature? [Discuss a topic](https://github.com/runcitadel/citadel/discussions/new)\n\n#### ⁉ Something isn't working? [Create an issue](https://github.com/runcitadel/citadel/issues/new)\n\n#### 💬 Need help getting started? [Telegram](https://t.me/runcitadel) / [Discord](https://discord.gg/6U3kM2cjdB)\n\n#### 🗞️ Stay up to date: [Twitter](https://twitter.com/runcitadel) / [Blog](https://blog.runcitadel.space)\n\n#### 📚 Find guides \u0026 best practices: [Wiki](https://wiki.runcitadel.space)\n\n## Installation\n\nThere are many ways to install Citadel. Depending on your hardware and operating system you can follow one of the below step-by-step guides to get started.\n\n#### Raspberry Pi 4: [runcitadel.space/setup](https://runcitadel.space/setup)\n\n#### Debian / Ubuntu: [runcitadel.space/x86](https://runcitadel.space/x86)\n\n#### Migrate from Umbrel: [runcitadel.space/migrate](https://runcitadel.space/migrate)\n\n#### Docker + Sysbox (experimental): [github.com/runcitadel/citadel-dev](https://github.com/runcitadel/citadel-dev)\n\n## Citadel vs. Umbrel\n\nCitadel is a mostly open source and soon to be fully FLOSS Lightning Node implementation based on [Umbrel](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel). Most of the codebase has been rewritten and moved away from Umbrel. Citadel offers many improvements over Umbrel:\n\n- faster operating system optimized for Raspberry Pi\n- independent and therefore faster app updates\n- our own, up-to-date user interface with built-in dark mode\n- listening node by default\n\n## Roadmap\n\nCitadel is fully transparent and built by the community. To see milestones and follow current development view the [project board](https://github.com/orgs/runcitadel/projects/3).\n\n## Repositories\n\n| Name                                                     | Description                                                    |\n| -------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| [citadel](https://github.com/runcitadel/citadel/)        | This overview, issues, discussions and project management      |\n| [core](https://github.com/runcitadel/core)               | The core of Citadel                                            |\n| [dashboard](https://github.com/runcitadel/dashboard)     | Current frontend                                               |\n| [middleware](https://github.com/runcitadel/middleware)   | Communication with bitcoin \u0026 lightning implementations         |\n| [manager](https://github.com/runcitadel/manager)         | Manages containers, authentication \u0026 misc.                      |\n| [sdk](https://github.com/runcitadel/sdk)                 | Library to connect applications to Citadel                     |\n| [apps](https://github.com/runcitadel/apps)               | Free, open source apps available on Citadel                    |\n| [citadel-dev](https://github.com/runcitadel/citadel-dev) | CLI tool to spin up instances of Citadel in a Docker container |\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe welcome and appreciate new contributions!
