evcc turns surplus rooftop solar and the cheapest hours of a dynamic tariff into cheap, clean kilometers by coordinating an EV charger, heat pump, and home battery from one local dashboard. Each charging point offers Off, Smart, and Fast modes. In Smart mode, charging starts once the surplus covers the car's minimum power, follows the sun up and down, pauses when clouds win, and can switch between one and three phases on wallboxes that allow it. A solar share slider lets small systems start earlier, and Always charge keeps fussy cars from being interrupted. Set a departure time and a target charge, and a charging plan picks the cheapest or cleanest hours before it, repeating weekly if you like. Tibber, Awattar, fixed and time-based rates, dynamic feed-in prices, and CO2 and solar forecasts all feed those decisions. A home battery can claim the surplus first or lend a boost for fast charging, and load management keeps several chargers inside a circuit's current limit while honoring grid operator dimming. Hundreds of wallboxes, inverters, meters, heat pumps, and vehicle APIs are supported, including Tesla, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Skoda, and Volkswagen. Sessions land in a history with charts and CSV export, and REST, MQTT, InfluxDB, Grafana, Home Assistant, and openHAB link evcc to the rest of the house.

ShareX and file uploads, next generation: Zipline is a Node.js/React/PostgreSQL server that turns screenshot sharing and file hosting into something you run yourself instead of renting from Imgur or a paid image host. The core workflow is built around ShareX: generate an .sxcu config from your account settings, import it, and every screenshot or clipboard capture uploads to your domain with a short link copied automatically. Uploads accept any file type, organized with folders and tags, with token-protected uploading, optional password protection, view-limited auto-deletion, image compression, metadata stripping, automatic video thumbnails, and chunked/partial uploads for large files. File URLs come in configurable formats - UUIDs, dates, random alphanumerics, original names, even zero-width spaces. A built-in URL shortener adds vanity slugs, passwords, view caps, and custom domains. Discord embeds are first-class: customize OG metadata titles, descriptions, and colors so links unfurl exactly how you want, and fire fully customizable Discord or HTTP webhooks on each upload. Authentication is serious: OAuth2 (Discord, GitHub, Google, OIDC), TOTP two-factor, and passkeys, with invite-based registration and per-user quotas for shared instances. Storage targets local disk or any S3-compatible backend, a full REST API automates everything, and custom themes plus a PWA round out the experience.

Configure each indexer once, not five times: Prowlarr is the indexer hub of the *arr stack, removing the most tedious duplication in a media automation setup. Instead of configuring the same torrent trackers and Usenet indexers separately in Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, and Mylar3, you add each one once in Prowlarr and it syncs them to every connected app automatically, complete with category mappings; with Full Sync enabled, adding or removing an indexer propagates everywhere, and a tracker URL change is a one-place fix. Coverage is the deepest available: 500+ torrent trackers with definitions added constantly, 24 native Usenet indexers, generic Newznab and Torznab support for anything else, and custom Cardigann YML definitions with JSON and XML parsing for obscure sources. Built on the same .NET/React base as its siblings, it also earns a place as a search tool in its own right: unified manual search queries every indexer simultaneously at a category level, and you can push multiple releases straight to your download clients without touching Sonarr or Radarr. Health checks and status notifications flag failing indexers, per-indexer statistics track success rates and response times so you can cull unreliable sources, and per-indexer proxy support (SOCKS4/5, HTTP, FlareSolverr) handles trackers behind Cloudflare.

Where Miniflux strips reading down, FreshRSS gives you knobs - the feature-rich pole of self-hosted RSS, comfortable with thousands of feeds. It's a multi-user PHP aggregator (host family and friends on one instance, with an anonymous reading mode) with the reading workflow refined over a decade: favorites, custom tags, powerful filter and search queries, three reading views, and statistics that reveal each site's publishing frequency - useful for pruning subscriptions. Two properties make it the standard choice. First, the Google Reader-compatible API (plus a Fever API) syncs with virtually every serious RSS client - Reeder, NetNewsWire, ReadYou, FeedMe, Fluent Reader - so your phone reads from your server. Second, native WebSub support means compatible sources (WordPress, Blogger, Medium, Friendica) push new articles instantly instead of waiting for polling. A 50+ extension ecosystem adds what truncated feeds omit - full-text content fetching, reading-time estimates, trending views, auto-unsubscribe for dead feeds - alongside community themes and custom CSS. OPML import/export keeps subscriptions portable, a CLI handles administration, and article sharing posts to many services. AGPL-licensed, running on SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL. Feedly Pro's feature set, minus Feedly's subscription and its algorithms.

Paste in a job posting and Dossier, a self-hosted job search app, shows how your profile matches it, then drafts a tailored resume and cover letter that use only facts you have given it. Requirements your profile cannot back up appear as gaps instead of invented experience, and a chat lets you refine any part, undo AI changes, or return to an earlier version. Twelve resume themes and a theme builder print to PDF on the server. Find jobs through JSearch, Adzuna, or Germany's Bundesagentur für Arbeit, score a posting against your profile, and start an application in one click. An optional job agent runs one search a day and can prepare drafts that wait for your approval; it never sends or applies. A board and a table track each application from draft to offer, and the dashboard charts your funnel week by week. Connect Gmail and Google Calendar to send applications from your own address, have the AI read employers' replies and draft answers, and keep interviews in step both ways, with nothing sent until you confirm. Choose a local model through Ollama or LM Studio, or a hosted OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic, or Mistral provider. Everything exports as one file, with nightly backups. 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.

Feature requests, bug reports, upvotes, and a public roadmap: Astuto (Ruby on Rails backend, React frontend) gives users a Canny-style feedback portal so product decisions rest on visible demand rather than the loudest voice in the room. Feedback organizes into as many boards as you want (features, bugs, integrations), each post carrying a custom status you define - "planned," "in progress," "shipped," or whatever matches your process - and those statuses feed a public roadmap view showing users what is actually being worked on. Participation friction is adjustable at both ends: sign-in works with plain email or any OAuth2 provider, anonymous feedback can be enabled for unregistered users, and a moderation queue lets you approve posts before they appear when spam is a concern. Integration hooks are practical rather than sprawling - webhooks fire on events to connect Jira, Trello, or Slack, and a REST API manages the whole feedback space programmatically. Brand customization, an invitation system, private-site settings, and recap emails for administrators complete a deliberately minimal tool: it collects, organizes, and prioritizes feedback well, for free, forever.

Exploratory data work, teaching material, and research code all live in the same browser tab with JupyterLab, the web workspace of Project Jupyter. Notebooks combine runnable code cells, Markdown, and rich output such as images, JSON, and Vega charts, and they use the same notebook format as the classic Jupyter Notebook. Any Jupyter kernel can execute the code, so Python, R, and other languages share one interface, and code inside plain text files such as Markdown or LaTeX can be run interactively as well. Tabs and splitters arrange documents side by side, and a notebook's cell outputs can be mirrored into their own tab to build a simple dashboard with interactive controls. Code consoles serve as scratchpads linked to a notebook kernel, while full terminals run system shells such as bash on the server. A visual debugger offers breakpoints, a call stack, and a variable explorer for kernels that support the Jupyter debug protocol. Markdown, CSV, and Vega documents show a live preview as they are edited, and built-in viewers handle images, JSON, and PDF files. The Extension Manager installs themes, editors, and renderers from PyPI, and real-time collaboration becomes available by adding the jupyter-collaboration extension. Access is protected by a generated token unless a password is set. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.

What Doodle did before ads and paywalls took over: Rallly (three L's) lets you propose a few dates, share a link, and watch an availability grid fill in - no email threads, no forced accounts, no "$6.95/month to remove ads." The availability grid makes the winning slot obvious at a glance, comments on each poll keep the "I can do Tuesday if we start late" discussion attached to the decision instead of buried in chat, and email notifications fire as votes and comments arrive. When consensus lands, finalize the winning option and everyone gets notified. The stack is modern TypeScript - Next.js, tRPC, Prisma over PostgreSQL, Tailwind - with a clean, genuinely mobile-friendly UI, dark mode, and community translations in 10+ languages. Self-hosting means unlimited polls and unlimited participants with meeting data on your server rather than a scheduling SaaS. It pairs naturally with Cal.com: Rallly answers "which time works for everyone?", Cal.com handles "book a slot on my calendar." AGPL-licensed.

Datasette turns a database into an interactive website and JSON API, so anyone can browse, filter, and query the data without a custom backend. Point it at SQLite files and each table gets a page with sortable columns, per-column filters, full-text search where it is enabled, and facets that tally the values in a column, including array and date columns, with suggested facets surfaced automatically. Rows have their own URLs, foreign keys become links, and a row that other tables reference links to a filtered list of those records. A "View and edit SQL" link turns whatever filters you applied into an editable query, and visitors with permission can run read-only SQL with named parameters. Useful queries save as canned queries with their own URLs, and writable canned queries add forms that insert or update rows. Every page comes as JSON and as streaming CSV. A metadata file adds titles, licenses, sources, column descriptions, units, default sort orders, and hidden tables. Access rules can apply to the whole instance or a single database, table, or query. Plugins add charts, maps for latitude and longitude columns, Atom feeds, GitHub sign-in, and custom output formats. Custom templates, CSS, and static files carry your branding. SpatiaLite support adds geospatial queries, and datasette publish deploys to Google Cloud Run, Heroku, Vercel, or Fly. 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.

Self-hosted and built around long reading, Omnivore saves articles, newsletters, and PDFs, renders web pages as clean text, remembers your place, and keeps every highlight searchable. Pages arrive from the web app's Add button or from Chrome and Firefox extensions that authenticate with an API key. Newsletters arrive through generated email addresses once an IMAP watcher or another mail bridge is set up. PDFs open in the same reader and accept highlights and notes just like articles. Labels, saved searches, and filters such as subscription:"Name" make a big library easy to slice. The RSS section follows your feeds, lets you add a story to the library or hide it, and can sort stories into topics when an OpenAI key is configured. Custom extractors scroll lazy-loaded pages, follow paginated articles, and strip pop-ups before saving. Rules trigger webhooks when pages are created or updated, which suits automatic labelling and other custom workflows. E-ink reading settings add double-tap page turns and volume-button scrolling, and Android and iOS apps sync the same library. 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.

Your apps keep using the OpenAI SDK while Antirion, a self-hosted AI gateway, decides which provider answers, what each team may spend, and what gets logged. Clients speak the OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or Bedrock APIs, and Antirion translates between them, so a Claude deployment can answer an OpenAI-style call, streams included. Add providers such as Amazon Bedrock, Vertex AI, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek, or a vLLM server, then publish them as named Models. Routing rules send traffic by team or project with fallback chains, weighted splits, least-cost or least-latency targets, retries, hedging, and circuit breakers. Budgets and rate limits in dollars or tokens apply per organization, team, project, and key, with projections and alerts before money runs out. Guardrails check for personal data, secrets, keywords, and regex matches, then block, redact, flag, or divert. Exact and semantic caching answers repeated prompts without calling a provider. The request log records every attempt, route, token count, cost, and guardrail verdict, with Prometheus metrics and OTLP traces. An MCP gateway and A2A proxy put tools and agents behind the same keys. Sign in with OIDC, SAML, or GitHub, provision users with SCIM, and review every change in the audit log. Changes you choose can require a change request or a second person's approval, and the Playground sends requests from the console. 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.

Born at Brazilian media giant Globo.com, Thumbor answers imaging CDNs like Imgix and Cloudinary with an HTTP service where every image variant is just a URL. Ask for /300x200/smart/your-image.jpg and Thumbor fetches the original, crops and resizes on demand, and caches the result - one source file, unlimited renditions, no batch pre-generation pipeline. The "smart" in the URL is the signature feature: OpenCV-based face detection finds people in the frame and crops around them (no more thumbnails with severed heads), and when no faces exist, feature detection finds visually important corners and computes a weighted center of mass as the focal point. Beyond cropping, a chainable filter pipeline handles brightness, contrast, grayscale, blur, red-eye removal, rounded corners, rotation, watermarks, and format conversion with quality control - applied in order via URL segments. All common image formats work out of the box, and every layer is pluggable: loaders (HTTP, local, S3), storages and result storages (local, S3, Ceph, and community backends), engines, optimizers, filters, and even custom detectors, with the awesome-thumbor list cataloging the ecosystem. URL signing prevents abuse of your processing capacity. Integrations exist for Django, Rails, Node, WordPress, and most frameworks. MIT-licensed, battle- tested for over a decade.

Built as a direct rejection of the adtech model, Plausible is the best-known privacy-first web analytics tool - lightweight, cookie-free, and open-source. It sets no cookies and stores no personal data: unique visitors are counted via a hash of IP plus User-Agent that rotates every 24 hours and is never stored raw, so no consent banner is required and GDPR compliance is structural rather than contractual. The tracking script is under 1 KB - orders of magnitude lighter than GA - and the dashboard is a deliberate contrast to GA4's sprawl: one fast-loading page with visitors, sources, top pages, countries, devices, and UTM breakdowns, filterable by any dimension. Custom events and goals track signups and clicks, Google Search Console integration pulls in search queries, scheduled email reports keep stakeholders updated, and the Stats API (v2) plus CSV export feed data anywhere. This is the AGPL-licensed Community Edition, the same Elixir codebase that powers Plausible's cloud service, running as three containers: the web app, PostgreSQL for accounts, and ClickHouse for event storage - which means self-hosters get direct SQL access to raw analytics data the cloud version never exposes. Traffic data stays entirely on your server, with no visitor caps or per-pageview pricing.

draw.io is a free, browser-based diagramming editor for flowcharts, network maps, UML models, and org charts, with nothing to install. An infinite canvas takes shapes from extensive libraries, connectors reroute automatically as shapes move, and ready-made templates replace the blank page. Tables, swimlanes, layers, and tags keep large diagrams tidy, and shape metadata and placeholders attach tooltips, links, and translations. Auto-layout straightens flowcharts and trees. Math typesetting, a simple whiteboard layout, and adaptive dark mode are built in, and custom shape libraries carry your own in-house icon sets. Export to PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG, HTML, or PDF, embed the diagram data inside PNG and SVG files so they stay editable, or save the full diagram as a .drawio file. Your server stores no diagrams: files go to the user's device, the browser, or Google Drive, OneDrive, and GitLab once you register your own OAuth app. Optional AI diagram generation uses your own provider key, and environment variables set the interface language, fonts, and security policy. 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.

"Less is more" is Kanboard's stated philosophy, and the free, MIT-licensed PHP application lives it: drag tasks between customizable columns, enforce work-in-progress limits per column, and slice boards horizontally with swimlanes for releases, teams, or priorities. Tasks carry what matters - colors, categories, subtasks with time estimates, Markdown descriptions, comments, attachments, internal links, and due dates - and move or duplicate across projects in one click. A concise query language filters any board dynamically (assignee, category, due date, description), and saved filters become custom views. The automatic-actions engine kills repetitive triage: on events like column moves or task creation, Kanboard reassigns, recolors, recategorizes, or closes tasks by rule. Around the board sit a calendar, per-project analytics (cumulative flow, lead and cycle time), Gantt view, and time tracking. Authentication spans LDAP/Active Directory, Google, GitHub, GitLab, and reverse-proxy headers; a JSON-RPC API, webhooks for creating tasks from external systems, and a CLI cover integration. A large community plugin catalog adds what core deliberately omits. With no external dependencies, it runs happily on anything from a Raspberry Pi up - translated into 30+ languages.

Deployment decoupled from release: Unleash, the most popular open-source feature management platform on GitHub, is a Node.js server backed by PostgreSQL. Ship code dark, then control who sees it through activation strategies: gradual percentage rollouts, targeting by user ID, IP, hostname, or application name, custom constraints against your own context fields, and scheduled or time-limited releases. Strategies stack - a flag activates if any strategy matches - and strategy variants layer A/B versions on top of the on/off decision. Each flag carries per-environment configurations, so a feature can run at 100% in staging while canarying at 5% in production. Backend SDKs (Node.js, Java, Go, Python, Ruby, .NET, PHP, Rust, and more) fetch configuration and evaluate flags locally, so a flag check adds zero network latency to request paths; frontend SDKs for React, Vue, Svelte, iOS, Android, and Flutter evaluate through a proxy layer. Flag hygiene is built in: flags are typed (release, experiment, operational, kill-switch, permission) with expected lifetimes, and Unleash marks overdue flags as potentially stale and surfaces unknown flags your SDKs request but that don't exist. Self-hosting via Docker keeps flag data, targeting rules, and evaluation infrastructure entirely on your side.

Wire nodes together in a browser, deploy in one click, and real-time data flows from sources through transformations to outputs: Node-RED is the OpenJS Foundation's flow-based programming tool for event-driven applications. Born at IBM as a proof-of-concept for manipulating MQTT topic mappings, it has become the lingua franca of IoT and automation glue - home automation, industrial control, edge data collection - with a community library of over 5,000 contributed nodes and flows covering protocols, devices, and services. Where visual wiring runs out, JavaScript function nodes written in a rich in-editor code editor take over, and every flow serializes to importable, exportable JSON that shares cleanly and version-controls sensibly. Version 5.0 (2026) delivered the largest editor overhaul in the project's history: a rethought layout with Explorer and Information panels in a split sidebar, a native dark theme with theme variants, improved accessibility, and refreshed node appearance. The runtime is lightweight Node.js, exploiting the event-driven non-blocking model so the same flows run on a Raspberry Pi at the network edge or a cloud VM. Apache-2.0 licensed with 240+ contributors, it pairs naturally with dashboard nodes for live charts and controls.

A personal Strava on your own server: Endurain is a self-hosted fitness platform that keeps your complete workout history, GPS routes, and health data out of a vendor's cloud. It ingests the standard device formats (.gpx, .tcx, and preferred .fit with full sensor data) via manual or bulk upload, and syncs directly with Strava and Garmin Connect so migrating years of history is straightforward - Garmin sync covers activities, gear, and body composition. The dashboard shows activity feeds with weekly and monthly statistics, routes on maps, and distance, speed, and training-volume trends over time, with definable goals that update automatically. Gear tracking is notably deep: log wetsuits, bicycles, shoes, racquets, skis, and snowboards, assign default gear per activity type, and track individual components like bike chains against replacement mileage. Multi-user support with admin and user roles, follower features, per-activity privacy settings, and configurable sign-up (email verification, admin approval) make it usable for clubs and coaches as well as individuals. Auth is serious for a fitness app: MFA TOTP, OIDC/SAML SSO, and email-based password resets via Apprise. The stack is Vue.js over a Python FastAPI backend with PostgreSQL, plus weight, steps, and sleep logging, imperial/metric units, multi-language support, and third-party app integration.
