Pelican Panel is an open-source game server management platform that enables gaming communities and hosting providers to deploy, configure, and operate multiplayer servers for titles like Minecraft, Palworld, and Counter-Strike within secure, containerized environments. Administrators can provision dedicated game servers in seconds using modular configuration eggs, allocating precise CPU cores, memory thresholds, and disk quotas to prevent resource contention across noisy neighbors. Players and server operators access an interactive web console featuring live terminal output, instant power state toggles, and direct command execution over secure WebSockets. An integrated file browser enables operators to upload server modifications, edit configuration scripts with syntax highlighting, and decompress archives without opening an external terminal. Built-in scheduling pipelines automate recurring tasks such as world backups, daily server restarts, and mod updates based on custom cron expressions. Multi-tenant permission controls allow guild leaders to invite co-administrators and grant granular privileges for restarting daemons, reviewing console logs, or managing database credentials without exposing the host system. Operators can also provision external SFTP endpoints, attach secondary IP allocations, and trigger webhook alerts whenever container health anomalies occur. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Stateful serverless actors that run indefinitely, sleep when idle, and persist state across restarts without external database round trips. Rivet provides a vendor-neutral alternative to Cloudflare Durable Objects, delivering long-running processes with co-located in-memory state and per-actor SQLite databases on any infrastructure you choose. The Rust engine comprises four packages: Pegboard for actor orchestration, Gasoline for durable execution, Guard for traffic routing via Envoy, and Epoxy implementing multi-region KV storage through EPaxos consensus. Each actor maintains instant-access in-memory state plus a dedicated SQLite database for relational queries, backed by RocksDB on single nodes or PostgreSQL with NATS pub/sub for multi-node clusters. RivetKit SDKs in TypeScript, Rust, and Python support built-in WebSocket connections, task queues, scheduling, and CRDT-based real-time collaboration. The v2.3 rewrite moved the core runtime from JavaScript to native Rust via WebAssembly, eliminating main-thread blocking across Node.js, Bun, Deno, and Cloudflare Workers. A built-in dashboard provides actor inspection with real-time Prometheus metrics. Deploys as a single Docker container on port 6420 with optional PostgreSQL for persistence. Available on RepoCloud with a dedicated VPS under the Apache 2.0 license.

The moment after ShadowPlay saves a great clip is what Fireshare was built for: your friends see it now, not after a YouTube upload, processing queue, and platform terms review. Drop videos into a watched folder and this Flask/React application generates a unique shareable URL for each one, complete with Open Graph metadata - so pasting the link into Discord, Twitter, or Slack produces a proper embed with title, description, and video thumbnail instead of a raw URL. Viewers need no account and no app. Visibility is per-file: public (browseable on your feed), private (unlisted, reachable only by direct link), or password protected. For game clips specifically, Fireshare organizes automatically - clips sort by game with cover art pulled from SteamGridDB, no manual tagging - while tags and full-library search cover everything else. Optional transcoding (CPU or GPU) creates lower-quality renditions so viewers on weak connections get automatic quality adaptation, and video cropping trims clips in place. The extras round out a genuinely finished tool: view counters, timestamped share links, a shuffle button, restrictable uploads, Discord notifications for new videos, an RSS feed of the public feed, mobile support, and LDAP for multi-user setups. No storage limits, no watermarks, no platform deciding what stays up. GPL-licensed.

"A highly-opinionated midwestern self-hosted Discord music bot that doesn't suck," per its own README - Muse is built for servers the size of you, your friends, and your friends' friends. It exists because the big public music bots kept getting shut down or paywalled, and self-hosting yours means nobody can take it away. Written in TypeScript on discord.js, it joins voice channels and plays audio resolved from YouTube via yt-dlp, and given optional Spotify API credentials it auto-converts Spotify tracks, albums, artists, and entire playlists to playable equivalents. The playback details show real care: seeking within songs and videos, livestream support, local caching so repeated plays start instantly, volume normalization across tracks, and configurable volume controls including optional ducking that lowers music when people speak. SponsorBlock integration can skip non-music segments automatically. Users save favorite queries as reusable shortcuts, and one Muse instance serves multiple guilds simultaneously - one deployment for all your communities. Configuration is three environment variables (Discord token, YouTube API key, optional Spotify pair) and the personality is free: there is no vote-to-skip, because "this is anarchy, not a democracy," and the bot remains a loyal Green Bay Packers fan. MIT-licensed and easily extendable.

Haven gives your community a private chat server with voice calls, screen sharing, and end-to-end encrypted direct messages where friends join via invite link in their browser without installing apps or creating third-party accounts. Real-time messaging supports image uploads via paste and drag-drop, emoji reactions, replies, threads, typing indicators, @mentions with autocomplete, and inline GIF search through Tenor or GIPHY. Peer-to-peer WebRTC voice chat includes per-user volume sliders, mute and deafen controls, talking indicators, and screen sharing with picture-in-picture mode. Direct messages use ECDH P-256 key exchange with AES-256-GCM symmetric encryption where private keys never leave the browser, ensuring not even the server operator can read them. Twenty-plus visual themes with stackable effects including CRT scanlines, Matrix Rain, Cyberpunk Text Scramble, Snowfall, and Campfire Embers let users personalize the experience with configurable intensity sliders. Rich Presence integration shows what members are playing or listening to via Last.fm, Steam, and Spotify. A built-in bot API supports webhooks and custom slash commands, while Discord history import preserves channels, threads, forums, reactions, pins, and avatars. The Node.js server deploys via Docker Compose or a single batch file that auto-handles dependencies, SSL certificates, and configuration. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Stoat delivers a complete Discord-like community chat experience that organizations can self-host on their own infrastructure with full data ownership. The platform provides text channels organized in categories, real-time voice calls powered by LiveKit, file sharing with automatic media proxying, custom emoji support, bot framework, GIF search, server invites, and granular role-based permissions — all wrapped in a polished web UI that feels immediately familiar to Discord users. The architecture separates concerns across dedicated Rust binaries handling the REST API, WebSocket real-time events, file storage with S3-compatible backends, push notifications, and media proxying, backed by MongoDB for persistence and Redis for caching. Web, desktop, and mobile clients connect through the same API, ensuring consistent experience across platforms. Unlike federated alternatives such as Matrix, Stoat provides a single-server deployment model focused on the Discord-style community experience: server invites, channel categories, member management, and an invite-first onboarding flow that communities expect. The Docker Compose deployment stack handles all microservices with Caddy providing automatic TLS via Let's Encrypt. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Revolt gives communities the full Discord experience without ads, behavioral tracking, or subscription fees: servers with text and voice channels, direct messages, group conversations, roles, bots, and custom emoji at zero cost per user. The Rust microservices backend splits responsibilities across Delta for REST API and authentication, Bonfire for persistent WebSocket real-time event delivery, Autumn for file upload routing to MinIO S3-compatible object storage, and January for link preview proxy and embed generation. Voice chat operates through LiveKit with WebRTC audio streaming supporting multiple concurrent participants per channel. Server administrators configure hierarchical role-based permissions at the server, channel, and per-role level, controlling who can send messages, manage channels, kick members, and access moderation tools. Text channels support Markdown formatting, custom emoji, file attachments up to 20 MB, GIF search via Tenor integration, and message reactions. The bot API enables automated moderation, entertainment, and custom workflow integration with community-maintained libraries available in JavaScript, Python, and Rust. The TypeScript and Solid.js web frontend provides a responsive interface with theme customization. Docker Compose deployment spins up the complete stack including MongoDB for message and user storage, Redis for caching, and MinIO for attachments, providing complete data sovereignty over all conversations and files. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Nodyx puts forum threads, real-time chat channels, peer-to-peer voice calls, collaborative whiteboards, and a drag-and-drop homepage builder behind one installation script on hardware you control. Create categories and threaded discussions that search engines index, then switch to Socket.IO-powered chat rooms where replies, pins, link previews, and @mentions update instantly. Voice channels connect participants through WebRTC mesh networking, keeping audio between peers without routing through third-party servers; a Rust-based STUN/TURN relay handles restrictive NATs so home-server deployments work without port forwarding. The NodyxCanvas layer adds CRDT-synchronized collaborative drawing with 11 tools, voice-aware cursors, and board-scoped chat, all persisted to PostgreSQL snapshots. Build your community's landing page with a visual editor that places widgets across 11 layout zones, then extend functionality by dropping third-party widget archives into the admin panel or authoring your own with the plain-JavaScript Widget SDK. Private conversations stay end-to-end encrypted with ECDH P-256 key exchange and AES-256-GCM ciphers where the private key never leaves the browser, and the OctoGuard module automates moderation with five matcher types plus configurable actions from muting to banning. For streamers, a native Streamer Hub bridges Twitch chat bidirectionally, provides a drag-and-drop soundboard, generates OBS browser-source overlays, and offers a mobile Stream Deck. Instances discover each other through a gossip protocol, forming a decentralized network without central coordination. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Organizers running sports leagues, gaming tournaments, and community athletics can deploy Bracket as an open-source competition control hub that coordinates multi-stage events without recurring SaaS subscription fees. Competition directors can configure multi-tier tournament topologies combining single elimination, double elimination, round-robin pools, and dynamic Swiss format brackets within a unified event schedule. An interactive calendar grid enables operators to drag and drop fixtures between designated courts, assign start times, and balance player recovery intervals across multiple playing areas. Public dashboard displays generate real-time match outcomes, court assignments, and standings boards that spectators can monitor on mobile devices or overhead venue monitors with customized team logos. Club administrators can manage multiple regional athletic organizations, register rosters through bulk CSV spreadsheet imports, and coordinate simultaneous divisions spanning amateur and championship flights. Integrated OpenAPI REST endpoints allow external scoring overlays, live stream graphic generators, and automated result bots to query match statuses or submit verified referee scorecards programmatically.
