Gately keeps your domain names current, forwards ports, terminates HTTPS, and blocks hostile traffic from one admin console, so a server or home network needs no pile of separate gateway tools. Dynamic DNS updates records at Cloudflare, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, DNSPod, Huawei Cloud, Route 53, OVHcloud, Gandi, Namecheap, DuckDNS, and other providers, finding the public address over IPv4 or IPv6 by URL, network interface, or command. Port forwarding relays TCP and UDP with port ranges, failover targets, connection limits, traffic statistics, and PROXY protocol, while SNI routing lets several services share port 443. Certificates are issued and renewed through ACME with DNS-01 wildcards or HTTP-01, then pushed to other hosts over SSH. Web services add per-domain reverse proxies, redirects, and static sites with HTTP/3, WebSocket, load balancing, health checks, rate limiting, caching, and sign-in through OIDC, GitHub, Google, or TOTP-protected shared users. A WAF running the OWASP Core Rule Set and fail2ban-style jails with trap ports and nftables bans guard the edge. Manage Docker containers and Compose projects with one-click upgrades and rollback, open SSH sessions with an SFTP file manager, run ping, traceroute, and speed tests, and receive alerts in Telegram, Discord, Slack, ntfy, or email. An audit log, config history with diff and rollback, encrypted backups, scoped API tokens, and Prometheus metrics round it out. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.

Where Traefik's built-in dashboard only shows what is running, Traefik Manager lets you change it: add routes, middlewares, and services from forms and wizards instead of editing YAML by hand. A first-run wizard connects to the Traefik API, creates a route for the manager itself, and sets the admin password. After that, the dashboard turns every route into a launchable app card with live health, and the Route Map draws each request from entry point through middlewares to backend. New routes use a slide-in form for HTTP, TCP, or UDP with several domains and backends, sticky sessions, and health checks. 30 middleware wizards handle authentication, rate limiting, headers, CORS, and redirects, and weighted, mirroring, or failover services can be built on their own. For day-to-day monitoring, the Certificates tab tracks expiry from acme.json, the Logs tab turns the access log into clickable analytics, the CrowdSec tab lists attacks and bans, and alerts reach Discord, Slack, ntfy, Telegram, and more. Changes to traefik.yml apply with a one-click restart, every edit is backed up locally and can be pushed to a git repository, and a lightweight agent brings remote Traefik servers into the same interface. Sign in with TOTP two-factor or OIDC single sign-on, in any of 14 languages.

Providing an intuitive control plane for modern reverse proxy infrastructure, CaddyUI enables system administrators to manage proxy hosts, automated TLS certificates, and traffic routing without hand-editing configuration files. Operators can create and adjust reverse proxy destinations, URL path rewrites, custom headers, and redirection rules using structured forms that validate against the proxy engine before saving. The platform coordinates automatic ACME certificate requests and renewals, displaying live certificate expiration timelines, validation stages, and internal self-signed certificate authority options for local network services. Fleet management tools synchronize proxy rules across multiple distributed server instances, preventing configuration drift across staging and production clusters. Automated post-deployment health checks verify upstream endpoint availability, HTTP status codes, and latency thresholds, instantly rolling back to the previous configuration if an expectation fails. An integrated observability suite delivers real-time visitor traffic analytics, geographic maps, HTTP response code breakdowns, and single-click client IP blocking to counter malicious probing attempts. Administrators can schedule automated database backups, configure multi-user access with role permissions, and integrate CrowdSec threat intelligence to protect backends.

Combining Docker container labels with a live web control plane, DockFlare automates Cloudflare Tunnel ingress routing, multi-zone DNS records, and Zero Trust Access policies across self-hosted infrastructure. DevOps engineers and homelab operators can attach simple container labels to expose HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, SSH, and RDP services publicly in seconds without clicking through external cloud dashboards. For non-containerized workloads such as bare-metal hypervisors or network appliances, administrators can define manual ingress rules, path-based routes, custom TLS SNI headers, and origin certificate bypass flags directly in the web interface. Security teams use reusable Access Groups and wildcard zone policies to enforce Google, GitHub, Azure AD, or custom OIDC authentication across every subdomain from a single policy definition. Distributed deployments connect lightweight remote agents back to the primary controller using Zero Trust service tokens so multi-host clusters share one unified routing view. When containers stop or restart, configurable grace-period timers prevent accidental route churn before cleaning up stale DNS entries, while encrypted state backups protect your entire ingress configuration.

A self-hosted front door for apps that live on home labs, office LANs, and private clusters, Wiredoor publishes them to the internet without opening a single inbound port on the private side. The Wiredoor CLI on each remote machine dials out to the server over an encrypted WireGuard tunnel. Web apps and APIs are routed by domain and path, WebSocket traffic included, while TCP and UDP services such as SSH or Redis get a public port of their own. Public domains receive Let's Encrypt certificates, internal names fall back to self-signed ones, and Cloudflare or GoDaddy credentials let the server create DNS records itself. Any web route can demand OAuth2 sign-in with an email allow list and a few open paths, and every protocol accepts IP allow lists. Gateway nodes stretch one tunnel across a Docker network, Kubernetes cluster, or private subnet, so a single link serves many backends. Services can be switched off or given an expiry such as 30 minutes, 2 hours, or 1 day. The dashboard shows which nodes are connected and whether their services are enabled, while the CLI creates, enables, and disables services from a terminal. Optional Prometheus and Grafana views chart traffic and tunnel peers, and CrowdSec can block abusive addresses.

Raw zone files and API calls become something a whole team can operate safely once PowerDNS-Admin puts its web interface in front of a PowerDNS authoritative server. It's a Python/Flask application covering full forward and reverse zone management, with the touches that matter in daily DNS work: zone templates for stamping out consistent new domains, easy IPv6 PTR record editing (reverse zones by hand are misery), full IDN/Punycode support for internationalized domains, and DynDNS 2 protocol support so routers and scripts can update records the way they would against a commercial dynamic-DNS service. Access control is enterprise-grade: local users, LDAP against OpenLDAP or Active Directory, SAML, and OAuth via Google, GitHub, Azure, or OpenID Connect, hardened with TOTP two-factor authentication. Role-based permissions extend to zone-specific access control - hand a developer their project's zone without exposing the rest of your namespace - and activity logging records who changed which record when, the audit trail bare PowerDNS never gives you. The dashboard monitors PDNS service configuration and statistics, and its own API exposes zone and record management for automation on top of the UI. Runs against MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL, talking to PowerDNS through its REST API. MIT-licensed.

PowerDNS answers the queries; Poweradmin gives you a browser-based control panel for its zones, records, DNSSEC keys, and users, with a REST API for automation. Create master, native, and slave zones, and let zone templates stamp predefined record sets onto new ones. Edit records inline with filters, or open the optional Record Wizard for DMARC, SPF, DKIM, CAA, TLSA, and SRV. Reverse zones link to their forward zones. The batch PTR tool fills whole network ranges, bulk add takes one CSV line per record, and secondary zones can be imported over AXFR. For DNSSEC, manage keys and copy DS and DNSKEY records for your registrar; changes are applied or rectified through the PowerDNS API so signed zones stay consistent. Every record and zone edit is logged with before and after snapshots, and the logs can be filtered and exported. The panel is translated into 43 languages, including right-to-left ones. Permission templates, users, and groups control who touches which zones, sign-in works through LDAP, OIDC, or SAML, and administrators can switch on authenticator-app or email two-factor codes. API keys can be read-only, limited to chosen operations, or restricted to specific zones, and companion projects link Terraform, ExternalDNS, cert-manager, and Certbot. Dynamic DNS clients such as ddclient and inadyn update records through a dyndns2-compatible endpoint.

Certificate lifetimes are collapsing toward 47 days, which turns TLS from a yearly chore into a weekly one, and CertMate is the control plane that makes that schedule boring. It issues and renews certificates from Let's Encrypt, ZeroSSL, Google Trust Services, Actalis, DigiCert, SSL.com, Sectigo, or your own private CA, validating by DNS-01 through 29 DNS providers, HTTP-01, or a CSR whose private key never leaves the device. Renewals run automatically, earlier when a certificate's life is short or the CA moves the date through ARI, and deploy hooks push each renewed certificate where it is actually served, then probe the live endpoint to prove the new certificate answers. Discovery watches hosts and certificate transparency logs for certificates you did not issue, folding them into one inventory of what is served where and when it expires. Certificates rest on local disk or in Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, Infisical, or S3 storage, with encrypted backups copied off-site. Its built-in CA issues client certificates for mTLS with OCSP and CRL, and can serve ACME itself, so certbot, lego, acme.sh, and cert-manager get internal certificates under EAB rules you define. Every action lands in a tamper-evident, hash-chained audit trail you can export and verify independently. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Automate your entire SSL and TLS lifecycle with Certimate, an infrastructure-grade certificate management platform that handles domain verification, ACME issuance, scheduled renewals, and multi-cloud deployment from one unified control plane. A drag-and-drop workflow designer lets administrators construct visual pipelines linking domain validation, certificate issuance from Let's Encrypt or ZeroSSL, and automated distribution to edge destinations. Built-in automation interfaces connect with over seventy DNS providers to handle automated DNS-01 challenge record creation and cleanup without manual API scripting. Engineers can deploy renewed certificates directly to Nginx, Apache, Traefik, and Caddy instances via automated SSH commands or native webhooks. Cloud delivery workflows push updated certificates to AWS CloudFront, Cloudflare, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and Kubernetes Ingress secrets without service interruption. The web management console tracks expiration dates across multiple domains, highlights failing renewal attempts, and dispatches instant alerts through email, Telegram, DingTalk, and enterprise webhooks before outages occur.

Created by the developer behind Uptime Kuma and carrying over 23,000 GitHub stars, Dockge brings the same clean, reactive design philosophy to Docker Compose stack management with a web interface that makes Portainer's compose handling feel like editing YAML in a terminal over SSH. The interactive editor provides syntax highlighting, inline validation, and a live preview of your compose.yaml files while keeping every stack stored as a standard file on disk in /opt/stacks by default, meaning you can seamlessly switch between the web UI and the docker compose CLI without lock-in or proprietary database formats. Real-time WebSocket updates stream pull progress, container start/stop transitions, and build output directly to the browser with no polling delays. The built-in web terminal opens a shell session inside any running container for quick debugging, while the docker-run-to-compose converter transforms single-container run commands into proper compose.yaml definitions with one click. Multi-agent support introduced in version 1.4.0 connects multiple Docker hosts to a single Dockge dashboard, enabling centralized management of stacks distributed across different servers. Image update detection shows which stacks have newer versions available, and one-click updates pull the latest images and recreate containers without manual intervention. The stack is a single Docker container running on Node.js with Socket.IO for reactivity and stores no external database.
