ExcaliDash
ExcaliDash adds persistent storage, access control, version history, and real-time collaboration to Excalidraw, transforming ephemeral whiteboarding sessions into a managed drawing library your team can rely on. The Node.js/Express backend with React/TypeScript frontend deploys via Docker Compose on port 6767, using Prisma ORM on SQLite for all drawings, users, and metadata. WebSocket-powered collaboration lets multiple users edit the same canvas simultaneously with live cursor presence. Drawing snapshots preserve every revision with visual preview and one-click restore to any previous state. Three authentication modes handle different deployment needs: local email/password for personal use, hybrid mode mixing native credentials with OIDC for gradual enterprise adoption, and enforced OIDC-only for organizations requiring SSO through providers like Authentik or Keycloak. Scoped sharing controls determine whether drawings stay private, shared internally with team members, or accessible via external links without authentication. Collections organize drawings through drag-and-drop grouping, full-text search locates any diagram instantly, and exports use the non-proprietary .excalidraw format ensuring complete data portability. 1,350+ stars since November 2025. 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.
Node-RED
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.
Automatisch
Automatisch runs your Zapier workflows on your own hardware - an open-source, self-hosted automation platform built as a direct alternative. Flows are chains of steps: one trigger (a polling or webhook event such as a new GitHub issue, a Stripe payment, or a form submission) followed by action steps that pass data downstream (post to Slack, append a Google Sheets row, update Notion). The visual builder deliberately mirrors Zapier's trigger-action model, so migrating existing Zaps requires no retraining and no programming knowledge. Roughly 60 integrations cover common business services - Slack, GitHub, Google Sheets, Notion, Stripe, Discord - and connections store credentials per service, with multiple accounts per app supported. Every execution runs on your own server: execution history, logs, and payload data never touch a third-party processor, which matters for GDPR, healthcare, and finance workloads. Error handling with retry logic, a REST API for programmatic flow management, and Docker Compose deployment round out the platform. The AGPL-3.0 Community Edition has no feature limits or per-task billing; an Enterprise Edition adds SSO, roles, and audit logs.
Pixelfed
With nearly 7,000 GitHub stars and instances spanning hundreds of federated servers, Pixelfed has become the leading open-source alternative to Instagram — delivering ad-free, algorithm-free photo sharing across the Fediverse. Built on Laravel with a Vue.js frontend, Pixelfed provides a polished, mobile-responsive interface where users upload photos and videos, apply built-in filters, create multi-image posts with alt text, share ephemeral stories, organize content into curated collections, and exchange direct messages — all without tracking, algorithmic manipulation, or targeted advertising. Federation through the ActivityPub protocol means Mastodon, Pleroma, and other Fediverse users can follow Pixelfed accounts, view photo posts in their timelines, and interact through likes, boosts, and replies, while Pixelfed users can discover content through both local and federated timelines. Instance administrators control registration policies, content moderation rules, federation blocklists and allowlists, storage backends including local or S3-compatible options, and server-wide settings. The Mastodon-compatible API enables third-party mobile app support alongside the built-in Progressive Web App experience. Advanced features include blurhash image placeholders for smooth loading, federated groups for community building through FEP-400e and FEP-1b12 extensions, HTTP Signatures with Authorized Fetch for secure federation, and comprehensive data export for full portability. Deployment requires PHP 8.1+, MySQL or PostgreSQL, Redis, and a reverse proxy, with Docker Compose configurations available for streamlined setup. 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.
Gollum
Every wiki page lives as a plain-text file in a standard Git repository, giving you full version history, branching, merging, and the freedom to edit with any text editor or IDE alongside the web interface. Originally built by GitHub's founders as the engine behind GitHub's own wiki feature, Gollum supports Markdown, AsciiDoc, reStructuredText, Org-mode, Textile, MediaWiki, Creole, and Pod markup formats with live preview rendering as you type. PlantUML and Mermaid diagrams render inline for architecture documentation, MathJax handles mathematical notation, and BibTeX integration via Pandoc provides academic citation management. YAML frontmatter controls per-page sidebars, headers, footers, and table of contents generation. CriticMarkup annotations enable editorial review workflows with tracked insertions, deletions, substitutions, and comments. Macros extend pages with dynamic content injection, file includes, and navigation helpers. The wiki maintains compatibility with GitHub and GitLab wiki repositories, so teams can clone existing platform wikis for local editing and offline access. The official Docker image at gollumwiki/gollum exposes port 4567 with volume-mounted repositories, requiring roughly 170 MB of container storage and minimal RAM. Authentication integrates via OmniAuth supporting GitHub, GitLab, Google, and other OAuth providers. Over 14,300 stars on GitHub since 2009. MIT licensed.
Reactive Resume
With over 38,000 GitHub stars, nearly one million registered users, and over 1.3 million resumes created, Reactive Resume delivers a professional resume creation experience that rivals commercial platforms like Resume.io and Zety without collecting user data, showing advertisements, or imposing paywall restrictions. The real-time WYSIWYG editor renders changes instantly as users type, providing immediate visual feedback across all resume sections including work experience, education, skills, certifications, projects, and custom sections with typed extensions. Over fifteen professionally designed templates with full color customization, font selection, spacing adjustment, and icon style selectors ensure each resume reflects individual style preferences. The drag-and-drop system lets users move items between sections and pages freely across multi-column and full-width layouts. PDF generation produces pixel-perfect documents using a headless Chromium rendering pipeline, ensuring consistent output across all devices and print settings. Multi-language support covers over twenty languages with RTL script handling for Arabic and Hebrew. Authentication supports passkeys and multiple OAuth providers via Better Auth, while self-hosted deployment runs via Docker Compose with PostgreSQL and Browserless for PDF rendering. The import system accepts JSON Resume format, LinkedIn data exports, and PDF/DOCX files when AI integration is configured. AI-powered content suggestions using OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, or local Ollama models help improve bullet points and professional summaries. A CSS editor with autocompletion allows fine-grained styling control. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Mailcow
With over 13,000 GitHub stars and active monthly releases, Mailcow delivers a production-ready mail server infrastructure through Docker Compose orchestration of twelve integrated containers. The stack pairs Postfix as the MTA handling SMTP traffic with Dovecot for IMAP and POP3 retrieval featuring the Flatcurve full-text search engine, while Rspamd provides machine-learning-powered spam filtering with Bayesian classification, DKIM signing, and ARC support. ClamAV scans attachments for malware including Office document macro analysis via Olefy, and SOGo serves as a responsive webmail client with CalDAV, CardDAV, and Microsoft ActiveSync synchronization. The admin panel manages multiple domains, per-user spam score thresholds, quarantine review, black and whitelists, temporary spam aliases, mailbox quotas, and TLS enforcement policies for both inbound and outbound messages. Security features include two-factor authentication via TOTP, WebAuthn, and Yubikey OTP, a Fail2ban-like Netfilter integration for brute-force protection, and automatic SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration. The ACME container handles Let's Encrypt certificate generation with DNS-01 challenge support, while Postfix TLS-Pol provides MTA-STS and DANE/TLSA resolution for encrypted transport. Built-in imapsync enables periodic migration from remote mailboxes, and the REST API allows programmatic management of all server resources. MariaDB stores user data, Redis caches configuration and sessions, and Unbound provides local DNSSEC-validating DNS resolution. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
Hoppscotch
Backed by nearly 80,000 GitHub stars and recognized as one of the most popular developer tools in the open-source ecosystem, Hoppscotch delivers a complete API development platform that runs instantly in any browser with zero installation. The platform supports six protocols out of the box including REST with full HTTP method coverage, GraphQL with schema introspection and multi-column documentation, WebSocket for full-duplex communication, Socket.IO, MQTT for IoT messaging, and Server-Sent Events for real-time streaming. Request collections organize your API calls into logical groups with support for sub-folders, environment variables with scope inheritance, pre-request scripts and post-request test scripts written in JavaScript, and automatic code snippet generation in over twenty languages and frameworks. Teams can collaborate in real-time with shared workspaces, role-based access controls, and cloud synchronization across devices. Migration from Postman, Insomnia, or OpenAPI specifications happens with a single click import. The self-hosted edition deploys via Docker Compose with PostgreSQL for data persistence, supporting SSO authentication through SAML and OAuth providers, SMTP configuration with OAuth2, and admin dashboard for user management. The platform also ships as a native desktop application for macOS, Windows, and Linux with offline support, plus a CLI tool for running collections in CI/CD pipelines. A built-in proxy mode bypasses CORS restrictions during development, and an interceptor enables request debugging and response modification. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Swetrix
Traffic analytics, real-user performance monitoring, and client-side error tracking - normally three tools - in one cookieless, privacy-first dashboard: Swetrix. The Community Edition ships the same core engine as the cloud product - a NestJS API with ClickHouse for high-volume event storage, MySQL for relational data, and Redis for caching, fronted by a React dashboard and a ~5 KB tracking script with official packages for 20+ frameworks including Next.js, WordPress, and Shopify. Traffic analytics cover pageviews, referrers, UTM campaigns, geolocation, sessions with page flows, funnels, and custom events - all anonymized server-side with no cookies, no cross-device tracking, and no consent banner required for GDPR compliance. Performance monitoring records real-user metrics per pageview: TTFB, DNS and TLS timing, and render times, so regressions surface in the same place as traffic. Error tracking captures unhandled JavaScript exceptions automatically with formatted stack traces, filename/line metadata, affected browsers and pages, first/last-seen timestamps, and a resolve workflow - replacing a separate error monitoring subscription for many teams. Alerts fire to email, Slack, Telegram, Discord, or webhooks on traffic spikes, new errors, and custom events. If Plausible covers your traffic questions but you also want to know why the site broke, Swetrix answers both.
Bulwark Webmail
Transforming your Stalwart Mail Server into an all-in-one private communication hub, Bulwark Webmail delivers fast web-based email, collaborative calendars, shared contacts, and cloud files in a single unified interface. Users can manage multiple email accounts from an integrated inbox with conversational message threading, nested organizational tags, scheduled delivery, and instant full-text search across thousands of archived messages. The rich text composer provides markdown shortcuts, inline image embedding, reusable canned response templates, and automated draft synchronization. Team members can coordinate schedules across day, week, month, and agenda calendar views with drag-to-reschedule adjustments, interactive iMIP meeting invitations, and external CalDAV calendar subscriptions. The integrated address book organizes individual contacts into custom groups with full vCard import and export support, while the files module lets users browse server storage, preview incoming attachments, and upload documents directly through the browser. Built-in security safeguards enforce multi-factor authentication, cryptographic S/MIME signatures, client-side encryption at rest, and automated HTML luminance remapping to keep dark emails legible. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL v3 licensed.
Miniflux
One statically-compiled Go binary over PostgreSQL, no ORM, no framework, static assets embedded in the executable: Miniflux is the minimalist, opinionated feed reader. The opinions are the feature: page layout, fonts, and colors are tuned for reading, and everything else is treated as noise. It consumes Atom, RSS, and JSON Feed formats with OPML import/export, organizes articles with categories and bookmarks, fetches original full-text content for summary-only feeds, and provides Postgres-powered full-text search. Privacy work happens automatically: pixel trackers are stripped, tracking parameters removed from URLs, a media proxy blocks third-party tracking, referrers are never forwarded, and there is zero telemetry. Navigation is keyboard-first - j/k through items, o to open, f to star - with touch gestures on mobile. Podcast, video, and music enclosures are supported, and YouTube videos play inline. Over 25 integrations save articles onward to Wallabag, Readwise Reader, Pinboard, Linkding, Instapaper, Notion, Telegram, Matrix, Ntfy, and more, plus webhooks and a REST API with Go and Python clients; the Google Reader API endpoint supports existing mobile reader apps. Authentication spans local passwords, passkeys (WebAuthn), Google OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and reverse-proxy headers. It is Apache 2.0 licensed, translated into 20 languages, and updates feeds on an internal scheduler.
ZenNotes
With over 2,200 GitHub stars and a philosophy that your notes should be files you own rather than rows in a database, ZenNotes is the keyboard-first Markdown editor that runs as a self-hosted web app backed by a Go server accessible from any browser on your network. Every note is a plain .md file in a vault directory you mount, with zero proprietary lock-in. Modal editing with real Vim motions, leader-key flows, and a command palette keeps your hands on the keyboard through edit, split, and preview modes. The rendering engine handles KaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, TikZ graphics, and JSXGraph plots directly from Markdown syntax alongside wiki links and callout blocks. A first-party MCP server ships in the box with one-click integration for Claude Desktop and Cursor, letting AI assistants read and write the same Markdown files on disk without sync layers or duplicate copies. The bundled zen CLI provides note creation, search, tagging, task toggling, and piped capture with JSON output for shell scripting. Board views render plain CSV files as Kanban columns. Daily notes, quick capture, archive, and trash round out the vault workflow. The Go backend serves the browser frontend on port 7878 with token-based authentication, configurable browse roots, TLS proxy support, and file permission hardening at 0600/0700 defaults. Deploy via the multi-arch Docker image for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Dockpeek
Fleet-wide container discovery, live log streaming, and Traefik reverse-proxy routing converge into Dockpeek, a lightweight Docker dashboard built for multi-host server environments. System administrators can launch web applications with one click through automatic port binding detection and integrated Traefik label parsing that extracts public routing hostnames directly from container configurations. The platform monitors multi-host environments through encrypted Docker socket proxies, letting operators inspect running containers, query published network ports, and trigger image updates from a unified control panel. Native Docker Swarm integration auto-detects active cluster managers, mapping swarm services and replicated tasks alongside standalone workloads while flagging degraded service replicas. Built-in log inspectors stream stdout and stderr outputs in real time with line-filtering controls to diagnose crashed services without opening remote SSH terminals. Operators can track image registries for newer digest tags, review pending updates across container fleets, and trigger graceful rolling container recreations directly from the dashboard. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Databasement
Databasement puts scheduled backup and restore for nine database engines behind one polished web interface, deployed as a single Docker container on port 2226. The Laravel and Livewire backend uses native CLI tools for MySQL 5.6 through 9.x, PostgreSQL 12 through 18, MariaDB 10.x through 12.x, Microsoft SQL Server 2017 through Azure SQL, MongoDB 4.2 through 8.0, SQLite 3.x, Firebird 3.x through 5.x, Redis 2.8+, and Valkey 7.2+ with full restore support including cross-server recovery. SSH tunnel connectivity reaches databases behind firewalls via bastion servers with password or private key authentication, and remote agents handle isolated networks by connecting outbound over HTTPS without inbound ports. Scheduling supports arbitrary cron expressions with GFS grandfather-father-son retention alongside simple time-based cleanup. Storage spans local disk, S3-compatible services including AWS and MinIO, Azure Blob, Samba/SMB shares, and SFTP/FTP servers. Scheduled restores automate production-to-staging synchronization on recurring intervals. Failure notifications alert via Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Pushover, Gotify, and webhooks with detailed job logs. The REST API and built-in MCP server enable CI/CD pipeline integration and AI assistant access from Claude, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot. 1,700+ stars since November 2025. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
EasyAppointments
Service businesses get a booking page without per-booking commissions or monthly SaaS fees from Easy!Appointments, the self-hosted appointment scheduler. Customers pick a service, provider, and open time slot from a clean web form; the system enforces working plans, breaks, and booking rules you define per provider, then confirms by email to both sides. The structure fits real service organizations: multiple providers with individual schedules, multiple service types with their own durations and prices, and admin/secretary roles for front-desk management. Two-way Google Calendar synchronization keeps each provider's external calendar authoritative - book in Easy!Appointments and it appears in Google Calendar, block time in Google and the slot disappears from the booking form. Version 1.6 adds SMS notifications and payment support, and a REST API opens the scheduling data to custom integrations. Built on PHP (CodeIgniter) with MySQL, it installs in a single folder and can share a database with your existing site; a WordPress plugin embeds the booking form directly in pages or posts. The interface ships in dozens of languages with time-zone handling throughout. GPL-3.0 licensed and free for commercial use - a helpdesk, clinic, salon, or consultancy runs its whole booking workflow on its own server.
Flexprice
Flexprice is a developer-first billing platform built specifically for AI-native and SaaS companies that need usage-based, credit-based, and hybrid pricing models without building custom billing infrastructure. The metering engine ingests millions of usage events in real time through HTTP APIs or SDK calls, supporting sum, count, unique count, latest value, and multiplier aggregation strategies across custom event schemas like API calls, token counts, compute minutes, and GPU time. Credit management handles prepaid wallets with promotional grants, rollover caps, auto top-ups, and priority-based credit application during invoice generation. The pricing engine supports per-unit, tiered, volume, package, and flat-rate models with per-customer overrides, committed minimums, and enterprise contract terms. Feature entitlements enforce boolean toggles, metered usage limits, and configuration values per plan, enabling applications to gate functionality through simple API checks. Automated invoicing calculates charges from real-time usage data with proration for mid-cycle upgrades and downgrades, generating detailed line items linked to tracked consumption. The architecture separates event ingestion through Kafka from billing computation via Temporal workflow orchestration, allowing each layer to scale independently with ClickHouse handling high-performance usage aggregation. Stripe Connect integration processes payments and manages customer payment methods. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPLv3 licensed.
Gotify
Real-time alerts from your own infrastructure to your phone, with no Firebase, Pushover, or third-party push service in the path: Gotify is a simple, self-hosted notification server written in Go. The model is deliberately minimal: senders push messages with a single HTTP POST to the REST API, receivers subscribe over a WebSocket stream, and a clean React web UI manages the pieces. Senders are namespaced as "applications," each with its own token, so your backup script, Uptime Kuma, CI pipeline, and cron jobs each get an identity, an icon, and independently revocable credentials - centralized alerting from many services with per-source management. Messages carry a title, body, and priority level that maps to notification importance on the client. The official Android app (on both F-Droid and Google Play, notable for working entirely without Google Play Services) shows push notifications for new messages; the web UI itself supports Web Push in the browser; and gotify/cli pushes messages from shell scripts with one command. A server-side plugin system adds custom behavior, and the whole thing runs as a single small binary with SQLite by default - near-zero resource footprint. Because dozens of tools (and Apprise) speak Gotify natively, it slots in as the notification hub for an entire homelab or ops stack.
ByteStash
The functions, config files, and one-liners you keep re-deriving finally get a searchable home: ByteStash is a self-hosted code snippet manager - a private Gist. Each snippet holds multiple code fragments, so a Docker Compose file, its .env template, and a plaintext usage note live together under one titled, categorized entry. Monaco-based syntax highlighting covers dozens of languages, from Python, TypeScript, Go, and Rust to YAML, Dockerfiles, Terraform, and Markdown. Retrieval is the point: filter by language or category, search titles and descriptions, and optionally include snippet contents in full-text search. Snippets can be pinned for quick access and shared via public links that recipients open without an account. Multi-user support runs on JWT authentication with optional OIDC single sign-on for teams on centralized identity, and a full CRUD REST API with Swagger documentation wires snippet retrieval into editors, scripts, and CI pipelines. Storage is a single SQLite database with optional encryption, and collections export as JSON or Markdown. A React frontend on a Node.js backend, deployed as one lightweight container.
