YunoHost vs Prowler
A side-by-side editorial comparison of YunoHost and Prowler — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
YunoHost vs Prowler: at a glance
What is YunoHost?
YunoHost 13.0.10 continues the 13.0 point releases, with notes left to Debian.
YunoHost is a self-hosting distribution built on Debian. Its feed lists point releases on two lines, 12.1.x and 13.0.x; 13.0.10 arrived on November 13, about three weeks after 13.0.9. Every entry says only to refer to the Debian changelog, so the feed carries no detail on what changed.
What is Prowler?
Prowler 5.49 asks a new question after each scan: which of your servers run an image under attack?
Prowler ships a minor release every one to two weeks. 5.48 added Realtime for AWS, which checks resources as CloudTrail events arrive and can alert, open a Terraform pull request or fix the resource. 5.49 adds emerging threat signatures: a vulnerability described as data, matched against the machine images of every compute instance on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, with Amazon Inspector clearing hosts patched in place. Prowler Cloud supplies a threat catalog and turns each threat into an Exploitability issue per account.

YunoHost
5.0INFRA · APIS
YunoHost 13.0.10 continues the 13.0 point releases, with notes left to Debian.
◆ Current state
YunoHost is a self-hosting distribution built on Debian. Its feed lists point releases on two lines, 12.1.x and 13.0.x; 13.0.10 arrived on November 13, about three weeks after 13.0.9. Every entry says only to refer to the Debian changelog, so the feed carries no detail on what changed.
◆ Where it's heading
The 13.0 line gets a point release every few weeks while 12.1 receives occasional hotfixes. Without notes, the feed shows cadence but not content.
◆ Prediction
Expect another 13.0 point release within a month; the entries give no sign of a 13.1 or of 12.1 ending.
Prowler
7.5INFRA · APIS
Prowler 5.49 asks a new question after each scan: which of your servers run an image under attack?
◆ Current state
Prowler ships a minor release every one to two weeks. 5.48 added Realtime for AWS, which checks resources as CloudTrail events arrive and can alert, open a Terraform pull request or fix the resource. 5.49 adds emerging threat signatures: a vulnerability described as data, matched against the machine images of every compute instance on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, with Amazon Inspector clearing hosts patched in place. Prowler Cloud supplies a threat catalog and turns each threat into an Exploitability issue per account.
◆ Where it's heading
Prowler is moving from configuration checks toward telling teams what is actually exploitable now: Realtime cut the wait for detection, and threat signatures cut the wait for a new check when a vulnerability lands. The free engine keeps the mechanism, while the maintained catalog and issue triage sit in Prowler Cloud.
◆ Prediction
Expect the threat catalog to grow and exploitability issues to reach more providers or link into Realtime alerts in the next releases.
