# Applications distributed as Armbian appliance
### Purpose of This Repository
- [Armbian Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/) - home automation
- [Armbian OpenHab](https://www.openhab.org/) - home automation
- [Armbian Security](https://www.kali.org/) (Armbian Trixie with pre-enabled Kali repository)
- [Armbian OMV](https://www.openmediavault.org/) - network attached storage (NAS)
This repository provides **ready-to-use Armbian-based OS images** with selected open-source applications preinstalled and preconfigured. These images, known as **Armbian Appliances**, are designed to deliver out-of-the-box functionality while retaining the flexibility and performance of the Armbian base system.
Sources: [extensions for Armbian build framework](https://github.com/armbian/os/tree/main/userpatches/extensions)
Each appliance image transforms a supported single board computer (SBC) into a dedicated solution, such as:
- **Home automation hubs** (e.g. Home Assistant, openHAB)
- **Network-attached storage (NAS)** servers (e.g. OpenMediaVault)
- **Security auditing platforms** (e.g. Kali Linux tools on Armbian)
Compared to traditional application-specific OS builds, Armbian Appliances:
- Support a **wider range of hardware** beyond Raspberry Pi or x86
- Allow **running multiple services** alongside the main application
- Provide **full access to the underlying Linux system**
- Are easily reproducible using the [Armbian build framework](https://github.com/armbian/build)
This repository contains configuration templates and logic for building these appliances, which are then published on [armbian.com/download](https://www.armbian.com/download).
