Maxun
With over 16,800 GitHub stars and growing rapidly, Maxun has become the go-to open-source platform for teams who need structured web data without writing scrapers. The TypeScript-based platform provides a no-code visual recorder that captures point-and-click interactions in real-time browser sync, automatically generating reusable extraction robots that handle pagination, infinite scrolling, and dynamic content. LLM-powered extraction accepts natural language prompts like "Extract 10 companies from the Y Combinator website" without requiring a URL — Maxun identifies the source and performs the extraction autonomously. The platform handles authentication-protected pages, adapts automatically to website layout changes through self-healing selectors, and exports directly to Google Sheets, Airtable, or any destination via webhooks. Robots run on configurable schedules with cron-based timing, turning any website into a perpetually fresh RESTful API endpoint. The crawl engine discovers and processes linked pages across entire domains with configurable depth and URL filtering, while the search capability runs automated queries across multiple engines. Official Node.js and Python SDKs provide programmatic control over robot creation, execution, and data retrieval, with MCP integration enabling direct connection to AI tools like Claude. The n8n community node enables workflow automation without custom code. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPLv3 licensed.
Dub
With 24,000 GitHub stars and infrastructure processing over 100 million clicks and 2 million links monthly for marketing teams at Twilio, Buffer, Framer, Perplexity, and Vercel, Dub is the most widely adopted open-source link attribution platform — unifying branded short links, real-time conversion analytics, and affiliate programs in a single self-hostable tool. Create short links on custom domains with built-in QR code generation, device and geographic targeting rules, A/B testing for destination URLs, deferred deep linking for mobile apps, and custom social media preview cards. The attribution engine tracks the complete customer journey from first click through lead capture to final sale, calculating lifetime value, retention rates, and multi-touch attribution across campaigns. Real-time analytics visualize clicks, leads, and revenue with filtering by geography, device, browser, referrer, operating system, and UTM parameters — plus an "Ask AI" feature that generates personalized reports from natural language queries. The partner program module enables embedded referral and affiliate programs with custom reward structures, automated payouts, and partner dashboards for product-led growth. Programmatic link creation via native SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Go, PHP, and Ruby supports enterprise-scale campaigns with real-time webhook notifications on link events. Migration assistants import existing links from Bitly, Rebrandly, and Short.io with redirects preserved. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPLv3 licensed.
SurfSense
Positioned as the open-source NotebookLM alternative for AI agents, SurfSense delivers a live web research platform where your agents access structured data from Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Amazon, Walmart, Google Maps, Google Search, Indeed, and any page on the open web through one REST API or MCP server. Scheduled and event-triggered agents transform findings into briefs, alerts, podcasts, and presentations, while a built-in knowledge base keeps every discovery searchable with Perplexity-style cited answers using hybrid semantic and full-text search powered by PostgreSQL with pgvector. Upload PDFs, Office documents, images, and audio files, or sync Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox — 50+ file formats supported with AI file sorting that auto-organizes documents by source, date, and topic. The MCP server exposes scrapers, knowledge base, and workspaces as native tools for Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent. Cross-country proxy rotation handles Reddit, TikTok, and Google Search scraping with geo-aware sticky sessions and captcha-aware anti-bot handling. The platform features collaborative chats, multi-format document export, git-native knowledge base with Open Knowledge Format export, and a desktop quick-ask panel with global shortcut. Docker Compose deployment manages nine services including Caddy proxy, PostgreSQL, Redis, FastAPI backend, Celery workers, zero-cache real-time sync, and Next.js frontend with automatic Watchtower updates. 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.
Shaarli
Personal, minimalist, database-free bookmarking - Shaarli is a philosophy as much as an app. Everything lives in a single compressed datastore file inside data/: no MySQL, no PostgreSQL, backup by copying one directory. That write-once/read-many file is usually served straight from OS disk caches, which is why a decade-old Shaarli instance with tens of thousands of links still responds instantly. Designed deliberately single-user, it saves URL, title, unlimited-length description, and tags (with autocomplete, renaming, and merging), marks entries public or private, and automatically strips utm_source and fb tracking parameters from saved URLs. That description field is why the community uses Shaarli as far more than bookmarks: a microblog, read-it-later queue, code-snippet base, pastebin, and shared clipboard between machines. Sharing is one click via bookmarklet or Android apps; consumption is per-tag RSS/Atom feeds plus a daily digest feed; search is full-text with tag filtering. A REST API opens it to any client, a plugin and theme system extends the PHP core (Markdown rendering, thumbnails), and import/export uses browser-standard Netscape HTML - your data enters and leaves freely. LDAP login is supported, no telemetry is sent anywhere, and the UI degrades gracefully without JavaScript. The anti-cloud Delicious.
OpenReplay
Backed by 12,400+ GitHub stars and positioned as the self-hosted alternative to FullStory and Hotjar, OpenReplay delivers the open-source session replay platform that keeps every byte of user behavior data on your own infrastructure. The JavaScript tracker captures pixel-perfect recordings of clicks, scrolls, form inputs, and navigation with automatic sensitive data masking, while simultaneously logging network requests, console errors, JavaScript exceptions, and Redux, VueX, MobX, NgRx, Pinia, and Zustand store state changes for complete technical context. DevTools mode reconstructs each session with full stack traces, GraphQL queries from Apollo and Relay, Fetch and Axios request payloads, CPU and memory metrics, and page speed waterfall charts — effectively giving developers a browser inspector tied to any user session. Product analytics surfaces conversion funnels, user journeys, click heatmaps, web vitals trends, and retention cohorts without requiring custom instrumentation. Co-browsing connects support agents to live user sessions with cursor control and WebRTC audio, enabling real-time assistance without third-party screen-sharing software. Integrations push session context into Sentry, Datadog, CloudWatch, Stackdriver, and Elastic for front-to-back debugging. Feature flags enable gradual rollouts with session-level targeting. The platform deploys to any cloud via Docker and Kubernetes with auto-scaling ingestion handling up to 50,000 sessions per month on the open-source edition. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPLv3 licensed.
OpenLLM
OpenLLM serves any large language model as an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint from a single CLI command, handling model download, backend selection, quantization, and port binding automatically. It supports the full spectrum of popular models including Llama 3.3, Qwen2.5, DeepSeek, Mistral, and Phi3, choosing between vLLM and PyTorch inference backends based on hardware capabilities. When vLLM is available, continuous batching with PagedAttention achieves up to 23x throughput improvement over naive serving, while GPTQ and bitsandbytes quantization reduces memory requirements for GPU-constrained deployments. The server exposes a RESTful API on port 3000 with full OpenAI client library compatibility, enabling drop-in replacement for commercial providers in any application using the standard chat completions format. A built-in web chat UI at the /chat endpoint provides immediate interactive testing without external clients. Custom model repositories allow teams to maintain private catalogs of fine-tuned models alongside the default repository that tracks the latest releases. Deployment workflows generate production-ready Docker images automatically, with Kubernetes manifest support for orchestrated scaling. Native integration with LangChain and LlamaIndex supports RAG pipelines, Transformers Agents enables tool-calling workflows, and HuggingFace Hub handles model discovery. Server-Sent Events enable real-time token streaming across all API endpoints. Backed by BentoML's production ML infrastructure. 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.
PowerDNS-Admin
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.
Heimdall
Links stop drowning in browser bookmarks once Heimdall - the application dashboard from the LinuxServer.io team - gives every web app and service you run a single, organized front door. Items come in three tiers. Generic items link to anything on the web with a name, color, and optional icon. Foundation apps are recognized as you type, auto-filling the application's icon and tile color so a full homelab dashboard assembles in minutes. Enhanced apps go further: supply API credentials and the tile shows live data - queue size and download speed for SABnzbd and NZBGet, plus integrations for Sonarr, Radarr, Plex, Jellyfin, Pi-hole, Portainer, Transmission, and many more. There are no iframes and no apps-within-apps; tiles are honest links with real-time stats layered on. Tiles arrange by drag and drop, backgrounds are customizable, an optional search bar (Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo) makes it work as a browser start page, and optional multi-user authentication keeps dashboards personal. Built on Laravel with SQLite file-based storage - no external database - it stays light, responsive on mobile, and simple to back up. A natural first deployment: the page that ties every other self-hosted service together.
Grocy
Grocy is a household management system, bringing ERP-grade inventory tracking to kitchens, pantries, and homes worldwide. The stock management system tracks products with expiration dates, best-before dates, and opened tracking, while barcode scanning via USB readers or device cameras with Open Food Facts product lookup enables rapid item entry. Minimum stock amounts trigger automatic shopping list entries so frequently used products never run out, and multiple shopping lists can be maintained and shared across household members. Recipe management links ingredients directly to stock inventory, showing at-a-glance fulfillment status and a Due Score that highlights recipes best suited for consuming items approaching expiration. The meal planner organizes daily meals across customizable time periods and adds all missing ingredients to shopping lists with one click. Chore tracking schedules recurring household tasks with assignment to specific members, due date tracking, and completion history logging. Battery management monitors charge cycles for household devices with configurable reminder intervals. Custom fields and userfields extend any entity with additional data, while feature flags disable unused modules to simplify the interface. The RESTful API with integrated Swagger UI at the /api endpoint exposes every operation the web frontend uses, enabling third-party integrations with home automation systems. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Kvrocks
Every Redis client you already use connects to Kvrocks without a single code change, but instead of holding your entire dataset in RAM, data lives on SSD through RocksDB, turning terabytes of memory cost into pennies of disk. An Apache Software Foundation top-level project, Kvrocks supports strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, streams, bitmaps, JSON documents, TimeSeries data points, Bloom filters, Cuckoo filters, and HyperLogLog structures, all persisted to disk with in-memory caching for hot data access. Asynchronous replication using binlog similar to MySQL provides data durability across replicas, while Redis Sentinel integration enables automatic failover when master or replica nodes fail. The proxyless centralized cluster architecture distributes data across shards while remaining fully compatible with standard Redis cluster SDKs and clients. Token-based namespaces provide multi-tenant isolation with authentication per namespace, going beyond Redis SELECT's numbered database model. RocksDB's LSM-tree storage engine provides efficient compression through configurable compaction strategies, reducing disk footprint dramatically while maintaining sub-millisecond reads for cached keys. Migration tooling includes RedisShake for Redis-to-Kvrocks live migration and kvrocks2redis for reverse migration, enabling gradual adoption without service interruption. The kvrocks_exporter exposes Prometheus-compatible metrics for monitoring, and OpenTelemetry integration provides distributed tracing. 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.
CommaFeed
CommaFeed delivers the Google Reader experience on your own infrastructure with modern performance characteristics. The Quarkus-based Java backend compiles to native code via GraalVM, achieving sub-second cold starts and 50MB memory footprint — a fraction of traditional JVM RSS readers. Four distinct layouts (title-only, expanded, magazine, and card) with light and dark themes adapt to any reading style, while comprehensive keyboard shortcuts cover navigation, marking, starring, and feed management without touching a mouse. The Fever-compatible API and newly added Google Reader API connect native iOS and Android apps (Reeder, Unread, FeedMe, ReadKit) directly to your instance. Per-feed push notifications through ntfy, Gotify, or Pushover alert you to new articles instantly. The visual query builder for automatic read-marking rules replaces raw expression syntax with an intuitive condition editor supporting title, content, author, and URL matching. OPML import and export enable seamless migration from any RSS service. Custom CSS and JavaScript injection let power users completely restyle the interface, while the browser extension adds one-click subscription from any website. Docker images for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 with H2 embedded database require zero configuration to start. 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.
GoToSocial
Mastodon serves single-user and small-community instances poorly; GoToSocial, an ActivityPub server written in Go, was built precisely for them. Where Mastodon demands Ruby, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Sidekiq, GoToSocial is one binary using roughly 250-350 MiB of RAM with SQLite as the default database (PostgreSQL optional) - it runs comfortably on a $5 VPS or a repurposed laptop. The deliberate design choice is having no built-in web client: the server exposes profile pages, a settings panel, and a faithful implementation of the Mastodon API, and you post through the client app you already like - Tusky on Android, Feditext on iOS, Pinafore or Phanpy in the browser. Federation is the point: your instance follows, boosts, and replies across Mastodon, Misskey, Pixelfed, and the rest of the Fediverse, with your identity anchored to your own domain. Safety is a stated focus, with granular per-post visibility and interaction controls, content warnings, custom emoji, hashtag following, domain allow/blocklists, and OIDC login support. Built-in Let's Encrypt provisioning simplifies the mandatory TLS. AGPL-3.0 licensed and in active beta, federating cleanly with the ecosystem's major servers.
Dashy
Every service you run, behind one polished start page: Dashy is the most customizable homelab dashboard, built as a Vue.js homepage. Configuration lives in a single YAML file, but you never have to hand-edit it: an integrated UI editor with real-time validation writes changes back to disk, so both config-as-code and point-and-click camps are served. Status indicators put a live health dot next to every app - HTTP checks or pings on custom intervals, with response time and status details on hover - giving you an at-a-glance uptime overview before anything breaks. Over 50 built-in widgets pull dynamic content from the services you already run: Pi-hole and AdGuard block stats, Proxmox lists, Nextcloud status, Netdata CPU/memory history, Prometheus data, plus weather, RSS, crypto prices, and generic iframe/API-response widgets for anything with an endpoint. Instant fuzzy search launches any app as you type, with customizable hotkeys and web-search fallthrough. Theming is deep: dozens of built-in themes, a UI color palette editor, and custom CSS over CSS variables. Alternate views include a fast-loading minimal startpage and a workspace view that embeds apps side-by-side without leaving the dashboard. Icons resolve from Font Awesome, homelab icon packs, emojis, or auto-fetched favicons. Built-in authentication, multi-page support, cloud backup/sync, and multi-language round out an MIT project with a massive community.
Stalwart Mail
Stalwart replaces the traditional Postfix + Dovecot + SpamAssassin + calendar-server stack with one Rust binary that speaks every standard mail and collaboration protocol natively. JMAP, IMAP4rev2, POP3, SMTP, CalDAV, CardDAV, and WebDAV all run inside the same process — no glue scripts, no sidecar daemons, no version conflicts between components. The pluggable storage architecture lets operators choose RocksDB for single-node deployments, FoundationDB for distributed clusters, PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, or SQLite for the data store, S3/MinIO/Azure Blob for message blobs, and Elasticsearch or Meilisearch for full-text search, with Redis or the internal engine backing rate limiters and session state. Security features include S/MIME and OpenPGP encryption at rest, automated DKIM key generation with DNS publication, DANE and MTA-STS transport security, automatic ACME TLS provisioning, granular ACLs, rate limiting, and IP banning. The browser-based admin console manages accounts, domains, groups, mailing lists, SMTP queues, DMARC/TLS-RPT/ARF reports, and every configuration object without touching a config file, while the self-service portal at /account gives end users password reset and encryption key management. Multi-tenant support with per-tenant quotas enables hosting-platform deployments, and coordinator-less clustering via Zenoh or NATS scales horizontally by adding nodes. Deploy via Docker or the standalone binary. 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.
Spree
Spree Commerce provides a complete headless ecommerce backend where products, orders, payments, and promotions are managed through typed REST APIs with OpenAPI 3.0 specs and TypeScript SDKs providing autocomplete and type safety. Fifteen years of production history and 15,600+ GitHub stars back a mature ecosystem that ships a production-ready Next.js 16 storefront built with React 19 and Tailwind CSS 4, including multi-region URL routing and Stripe payments supporting Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, and Affirm. Sales Channels model distinct contexts from a single instance: DTC storefronts, wholesale portals, mobile apps, and point-of-sale terminals, each with its own catalog, pricing, and checkout flow. The rules-based promotion engine supports coupon codes, multi-condition discounts, gift cards, and digital product fulfillment. Multi-warehouse inventory tracks stock across locations in real time with reservations and advanced order routing that splits shipments across fulfillment centers. B2B capabilities include customer-specific price lists, storefront access gating, wholesale portals with approval workflows, and quick order forms. The admin dashboard built with Tailwind CSS provides role-based permissions, product management, order processing with refunds, and scaffold generators for custom pages. BSD 3-Clause licensed with zero platform or transaction fees. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.
Authentik
With over 24,000 GitHub stars and a rapidly growing community of self-hosters, authentik delivers enterprise-grade identity management that replaces commercial solutions like Okta and Auth0 with a fully self-hosted platform requiring no per-user licensing fees. The platform serves as a unified identity provider supporting SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, LDAP for legacy application compatibility, SCIM 2.0 for automated user provisioning, and RADIUS for network device authentication. The visual flow designer enables administrators to create custom authentication workflows combining password verification, multi-factor authentication with TOTP, WebAuthn, and SMS codes, email verification, captcha challenges, and conditional logic based on user attributes or device context. The forward-auth and reverse proxy integration works seamlessly with Traefik, Nginx, Caddy, and Envoy to protect applications that lack built-in authentication. User enrollment flows support self-registration with configurable approval workflows, invitation links, and automatic group assignment. The LDAP outpost exposes user and group data to legacy applications requiring LDAP bind authentication, while the SCIM provider automates user lifecycle management with downstream applications. Multi-tenancy support through brands allows a single authentik instance to serve multiple organizations with independent domains, branding, and authentication policies. The admin interface provides comprehensive user management, group hierarchy, application catalog, event logging with GeoIP enrichment, and system health monitoring. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Licensed under a source-available license with an open-source community edition.
RisingWave
With over 9,100 GitHub stars and production deployments powering real-time analytics at companies like SHOPLINE where it reduced API latency by 76.7%, RisingWave is the PostgreSQL-compatible streaming database that collapses the traditional Debezium-plus-Kafka-plus-Flink-plus-serving-database stack into a single Rust-powered system. The platform continuously ingests data from PostgreSQL and MySQL via native CDC connectors that eliminate Debezium middleware, consumes Kafka, Redpanda, Pulsar, and Kinesis topics, accepts webhook events from SaaS applications, and batch-loads historical data from S3 and data warehouses. Standard SQL defines sources, materialized views, and sinks — no new DSL, no Java, and no custom API — while the PostgreSQL wire protocol means psql, DBeaver, pgAdmin, Grafana, Metabase, Superset, Tableau, and every PostgreSQL client library works without modification. Materialized views are incrementally maintained as events arrive, delivering point lookups in single-digit milliseconds without recomputing aggregates from scratch. For long-term retention, RisingWave writes to Apache Iceberg tables with a hosted REST catalog and automated table maintenance including compaction, small-file optimization, and snapshot cleanup, with data queryable by Spark, Trino, DuckDB, and DataFusion. The disaggregated compute-storage architecture uses S3-based state management for elastic scaling, instant failure recovery measured in seconds rather than the minutes-to-hours typical of RocksDB-based systems, and cost-efficient storage tiering. An MCP server enables AI agents to query and operate RisingWave directly. 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.
Planka
Trello's board model on your own server: Planka is an open-source Kanban project management tool. Boards organize into projects with lists, cards, labels, due dates, checklists, file attachments, and per-card stopwatch time tracking, all managed through drag-and-drop. Updates propagate over WebSockets, so a teammate moving a card or adding a comment appears instantly for everyone without a refresh - a genuine differentiator among self-hosted boards. Card descriptions use a full Markdown editor, custom fields adapt cards to your workflow, and views switch between Kanban, grid, and list layouts. Authentication supports OpenID Connect single sign-on with Google, Azure AD, Okta, or any OIDC provider - a feature Trello reserves for enterprise plans - and notifications reach 100+ channels including Slack, Discord, Telegram, and SMTP via Apprise. A REST API with 50+ webhook events supports custom integrations, and one-click board import eases migration. Built with React and Node.js on PostgreSQL, translated into 35+ languages, deployed via Docker.
