With over 6,500 GitHub stars, HolaOS bills itself as an "open agent computer" that reimagines the traditional operating system as a shared workspace where humans and AI agents collaborate across files, browsers, and 100+ integrated tools simultaneously. Unlike chat-only interfaces, HolaOS places live application UIs—Notion-style editors, browsers, custom workspace apps—side by side with the agent conversation, so operators always see what agents are doing and can intervene at any moment. The persistent memory system stores workspace knowledge locally as Markdown files and embedded vectors via SQLite vec, enabling RAG-powered recall that survives session boundaries without the typical context window bloat. Safe Session Compaction reserves roughly 70% of the model context window for fresh reasoning while folding older history into structured checkpoints that retain goals, constraints, progress, and decisions. Agents connect to Linear, GitHub, Slack, Jira, HubSpot, Gmail, and dozens more through one-click OAuth, automatically fetching relevant signals and converting scattered app data into working memory. BYOK support for Claude, GPT, and Gemini models lets operators use their own API keys at zero markup, while built-in Kimi K3 and GLM-5.2 models provide ready-to-use alternatives. Skills package reusable workflows that any agent can invoke on demand, and scheduled triggers enable autonomous digests, monitors, and reports. The runtime supports independent server deployment alongside the desktop client. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Modified Apache 2.0 licensed.

Gaining over 71,000 GitHub stars as one of the fastest-rising knowledge management platforms, AFFiNE merges the document editing capabilities of Notion, the infinite canvas of Miro, and the structured data of Airtable into a single cohesive workspace. The block-based editor built on the custom BlockSuite framework supports rich text, code blocks, embeds, tables, kanban boards, and database views with drag-and-drop composition. The whiteboard mode provides an infinite canvas where users can freely mix documents, sticky notes, shapes, connectors, and hand-drawn elements, enabling visual thinking alongside structured note-taking. Real-time collaboration allows multiple users to edit documents and whiteboards simultaneously with cursor presence, comment threads, and version history. The local-first architecture stores all data on your device by default using CRDT-based synchronization, ensuring offline access and data sovereignty, with optional cloud sync for cross-device availability. Workspaces organize content into hierarchical page trees with full-text search, favorites, tags, and trash management. The platform supports Markdown import and export, PDF export, and HTML export for interoperability. AI features powered by configurable LLM providers enable writing assistance, summarization, translation, and content generation directly within documents. The theming system supports light and dark modes with customizable accent colors. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Licensed under MIT with an open-source self-hosted edition.

A PostgreSQL database becomes a production-grade GraphQL API the moment Hasura GraphQL Engine points at it: track tables and relationships - existing schemas included - and full query, mutation, and subscription types appear with where, order_by, limit, offset, and on_conflict arguments, no resolvers or boilerplate written. Its Haskell core compiles GraphQL to efficient SQL, and any query becomes a real-time live query with a single keyword, powering dashboards and collaborative UIs over standard GraphQL subscriptions. Authorization is where Hasura earns its enterprise reputation: role-based access control with row- and column-level permission policies driven by session variables from JWTs, auth webhooks, or headers - each role effectively sees its own GraphQL schema containing only what it may touch, integrating cleanly with Auth0, Firebase, or homegrown auth. Event triggers fire webhooks on inserts, updates, and deletes for asynchronous business logic; Actions extend the schema with custom REST handlers; remote schema stitching merges external GraphQL services into one endpoint; and auto-generated REST endpoints serve clients that skip GraphQL. A browser console handles data modeling and API exploration, the CLI manages migrations and metadata as code, and deployment is a single stateless Docker container beside Postgres.

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.

With over 47,000 GitHub stars, Cal.diy is the fully open-source community fork of Cal.com that strips away every proprietary license gate and enterprise paywall to deliver a pure MIT-licensed scheduling platform you completely own. The booking engine supports individual event types including recurring events, seated events with capacity limits, and paid bookings through Stripe and PayPal, all backed by customizable availability schedules with date overrides, buffer times, minimum notice periods, and travel schedule support. Calendar synchronization is bidirectional across nine providers — Google Calendar, Outlook and Office 365, Apple Calendar, CalDAV, Lark, Feishu, Zoho, Exchange, and ICS feeds — so every booking automatically appears on your existing calendar while blocking conflicting slots. Video conferencing links generate automatically for Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Jitsi, Daily.co, Whereby, and Huddle01, eliminating manual link management. The automation layer connects through webhooks, Zapier, n8n, Make, and Pipedream to CRM platforms like HubSpot, Salesforce, and Close, messaging services including Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp, and analytics tools such as Google Analytics 4, PostHog, and Fathom. The entire application is built on the T3 stack — Next.js for server-rendered pages, tRPC for end-to-end type-safe APIs, Prisma for PostgreSQL database access, and Tailwind CSS for the responsive interface. Unlike Cal.com's open-core model, Cal.diy requires no license key and includes no gated features. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Backed by nearly 30,000 GitHub stars and powering millions of meetings through meet.jit.si, Jitsi Meet is the open-source video conferencing platform that runs entirely in the browser with no plugins or downloads required. The WebRTC-based architecture delivers HD audio and video through the Jitsi Videobridge selective forwarding unit, while Prosody handles XMPP signaling and Jicofo manages conference focus and orechestration. End-to-end encryption uses AES-GCM 128-bit keys exchanged via the Olm protocol, protecting audio, video, and screen sharing through the Insertable Streams API in Chromium-based browsers. Moderators can split participants into breakout rooms with individual password protection, enable lobby waiting rooms for admission control, set meeting passwords, and track speaker statistics with per-participant talk time metrics. Virtual backgrounds leverage TensorFlow.js body segmentation with WebGPU and WebGL acceleration, automatically adapting quality through device tier detection. Server-side recording and YouTube live streaming run through Jibri, while Jigasi provides a SIP gateway for PSTN dial-in and speech-to-text transcription. The platform includes in-meeting chat with private conversations, polls, raise-hand functionality, emoji reactions, and tile and speaker view layouts. Mobile applications for iOS and Android complement the web client, and both web and native SDKs enable embedding video conferences into custom applications. 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.

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.

With over 5,100 GitHub stars and eight years of active development since 2016, Shlink has become the definitive self-hosted URL shortener for teams that need unlimited links, full visitor analytics, and complete data ownership without per-link pricing or monthly caps. The PHP backend built on the Mezzio framework with Doctrine ORM serves redirects through any number of custom domains on a single instance, generating unique short codes or accepting custom slugs including multi-segment paths and emoji characters. Every click is tracked with anonymized visitor data including geolocation by country, city, and coordinates, browser and operating system identification, referrer source, and device type classification, all stored in your choice of MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or SQLite. Dynamic redirect rules route visitors to different destinations based on geolocation, device type, or browser language, enabling targeted campaigns from a single short URL. The REST API exposes every operation with OpenAPI documentation and an interactive sandbox at api-spec.shlink.io, while the CLI provides equivalent functionality for scripting and automation. The official progressive web app at app.shlink.io manages multiple Shlink instances from a single interface with URL creation, tag management, and detailed visit charts. Real-time event integration supports both Mercure and RabbitMQ for webhook-style notifications on new visits. Third-party imports migrate existing short URLs from Bitly and YOURLS with visit history preserved. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

With 12,800+ GitHub stars and over a decade of active development since 2013, wallabag is the most established open-source read-it-later application — built for readers who want complete ownership of their article archive without depending on services that shut down (RIP Pocket). The Symfony-based PHP application extracts clean article content using Graby and php-readability, stripping advertisements, pop-ups, and tracking scripts to deliver a distraction-free reading experience optimized for both desktop and mobile screens. Save articles via Chrome, Firefox, or Safari browser extensions, Android and iOS native apps, REST API, or the built-in bookmarklet — all syncing to your self-hosted instance. Organize your library with tags, automated tagging rules that classify articles by content patterns, starred favorites, and archived collections. The annotation system enables highlighting extracts and attaching notes directly within articles for research and reference workflows. Import your existing reading lists from Pocket, Omnivore, Instapaper, Pinboard, Readability, and browser bookmarks. Export articles in PDF, ePUB, MOBI, JSON, CSV, TXT, or HTML for offline reading on Kindle, Kobo, and other e-readers. Full-text search with filters by reading time, domain, language, and creation date makes retrieval instant across thousands of saved articles. RSS feed output integrates with feed readers and automation services. Docker deployment with SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL persistence backends takes under five minutes. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

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.

WordPress without Gutenberg: ClassicPress, the community-led fork, keeps the TinyMCE classic editor as the default and strips the block editor and Full Site Editing out of core entirely. The result is roughly half WordPress's size - obsolete libraries like jQueryUI, Thickbox, and Flash support are gone, replaced by native HTML5 elements and modern alternatives like SortableJS - which translates to a measurably faster admin and a leaner attack surface. Forked from WordPress 6.2, it remains compatible with the vast plugin and theme ecosystem targeting that lineage (anything not requiring blocks generally works, helped by a blocks-compatibility mode), and the PHP-first WordPress API developers have used for over a decade works unchanged - no React required to extend your CMS. The fork adds its own improvements: built-in media categories and tags with bulk editing, revision management that lets you prune database bloat, native HTML5 dialogs for accessible touch-friendly menus, and recent releases bring APCu object-cache support, vanilla-JS core widgets, and performant translations. Governance is democratic and community-driven rather than corporate. For content sites, business sites, and blogs where the classic editing workflow is the feature, ClassicPress is stability as a philosophy.

With 2,400+ GitHub stars, HolyClaude replaces a two-hour manual setup process with a single docker compose up command that launches a fully configured AI coding workstation. The container ships with Claude Code pre-installed alongside seven additional AI CLIs — Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, TaskMaster AI, Junie, OpenCode with OpenRouter multi-provider support, and Pi Coding Agent — all accessible through the CloudCLI browser-based web interface on port 3001. A headless Chromium browser running on Xvfb display :99 comes pre-configured with Playwright 1.61 for automated screenshots, testing, and web scraping without additional setup. The development toolchain includes Node.js 26, Python 3, TypeScript, git, GitHub CLI, database clients for PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Redis, plus deployment CLIs for Vercel, Wrangler, Netlify, and Azure. Process management uses s6-overlay for automatic restarts and graceful shutdown, while bind mounts to ./data/claude and ./workspace ensure credentials, configuration, and project files persist across container rebuilds. The full image supports AMD64 and ARM64 architectures, running on Linux, macOS with Docker Desktop, Windows with WSL2, and Synology or QNAP NAS hardware. A slim tag at roughly 2GB omits the browser stack for environments that do not need it, while the full image at 4GB includes everything. Users authenticate with their existing Anthropic account directly through Claude Code with no credential relay or proxy involved. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

With over 7,000 GitHub stars and active community maintenance through version 0.26.0 released in June 2026, Homebox fills the gap between inadequate spreadsheets and overcomplicated enterprise asset management by providing a purpose-built inventory system designed specifically for home users, families, and small groups. The Go backend with SQLite storage deploys as a single Docker container consuming under 50MB of RAM at idle, running on hardware as modest as a Raspberry Pi while the responsive web interface adapts seamlessly across desktops, tablets, and smartphones. The entity-based architecture introduced in v0.26 unifies items and locations into a shared structure supporting custom fields, attachments, entity types, and reusable templates for consistent data entry across inventory categories. QR code generation creates printable labels that scan with any smartphone camera to instantly display item details, photos, serial numbers, and associated documents. Warranty tracking records purchase dates, prices, and expiration dates while maintenance scheduling sends reminders for recurring service tasks. Location hierarchies organize items spatially with nested sub-locations, and flexible label tagging enables cross-cutting categorization beyond physical placement. Multi-user support shares collections with family members or roommates with OIDC single sign-on integration for Active Directory, Okta, and other identity providers. CSV import and export handles bulk operations, while the full REST API enables automation and third-party integrations. Collection-level ZIP export packages complete inventories with attachments for backup or migration. 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.

Every unit of income gets a job in Actual Budget - a local-first personal finance app built on envelope (zero-sum) budgeting, where you can only budget cash you actually have, which keeps the plan honest by construction. The data model is a SQLite file that lives on your device and works fully offline; the self-hosted Node.js sync server adds background multi-device synchronization using CRDT-based distributed-systems machinery, browser and mobile access as an installable web app, and automated backups. Optional end-to-end encryption makes the synced data unreadable even to the server hosting it. Transactions enter three ways: manual entry, file import (CSV, QIF, OFX, QFX, CAMT.053), or automatic bank syncing through GoCardless for EU/UK banks and SimpleFIN for US/Canada. Built-in YNAB4 and nYNAB importers migrate complete budget histories, and reports, schedules for recurring transactions, and rule-based transaction cleanup handle the day-to-day. A fully featured local API lets developers script custom importers and automation against their own data. 100% free, open source, and 26k stars strong.

With over 15,000 GitHub stars accumulated since its February 2025 launch, BillionMail delivers the rare combination of a production mail transfer agent and a full email marketing suite in a single self-hosted package — eliminating the monthly per-subscriber fees charged by Mailchimp, SendGrid, and similar platforms. The Go-based architecture bundles Postfix for SMTP transmission, Dovecot for IMAP and POP3 mailbox access, Rspamd for intelligent spam filtering and greylisting, and RoundCube for browser-based webmail, all orchestrated through Docker Compose with PostgreSQL for persistent storage and Redis for queue management and caching. The marketing engine supports unlimited subscriber lists with tag-based segmentation, scheduled campaign sends, A/B subject line testing, and both HTML and drag-and-drop visual template editors for crafting responsive emails without coding. Real-time analytics dashboards track sent volume, deliverability rate, open rate, click-through rate, and bounce reasons, while the platform provides step-by-step DNS record configuration wizards for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to maximize inbox placement. A transactional email API exposes REST endpoints for single and batch sending, enabling integration with CRM systems, e-commerce platforms, and custom applications. Auto-provisioned free SSL certificates, Fail2ban brute-force protection, and privacy-first architecture with zero third-party tracking ensure secure operation. The platform installs in under eight minutes via a single shell script and supports SMTP on port 25, SMTPS on 465, submission on 587, IMAP on 143/993, and POP3 on 110/995. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPLv3 licensed.

Grammar, punctuation, and style errors a dictionary lookup can't see: LanguageTool is open-source proofreading powered by a Java rule engine covering English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Dutch, and 25+ other languages. Self-hosting the HTTP server is how you get Grammarly-class checking without sending every sentence you write to a third party - a real concern when the text being proofread is confidential email, legal drafts, or unreleased documentation. Your instance exposes the standard /v2/check API, so the official ecosystem plugs straight in: browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox accept a custom server URL, and integrations exist for VS Code, LibreOffice, Obsidian, Vim, Emacs, and many editors. Notably, self-hosting restores free browser-extension checking that the hosted service moved behind a premium subscription - your server, no character limits, no paywall. Detection quality is tunable: optional n-gram datasets (multi-gigabyte language models for en, de, es, fr, nl) teach the engine word-order and confusion-pair errors like there/their and brakes/breaks, and a fastText model improves automatic language identification. Everything runs offline once models are downloaded. The core is LGPL, the API is documented with Swagger, and rules are community- maintained and constantly expanding.

Roughly $1M of development work, open-sourced: Maybe Finance began as a $249/year commercial personal finance product before the company released it all. It aggregates bank accounts, credit cards, loans, investments, crypto, and real estate into a single net worth dashboard with historical trend charts - replacing the spreadsheet that usually glues a whole portfolio together. Transactions are categorized and tagged with rules, with merchant tracking and search across imported or synced activity; budgets track spending by category against plan; and the investment view follows holdings, cost basis, and returns across brokerage accounts. Multi-currency support converts accounts held in different currencies into a single reporting currency, bank synchronization works through Plaid where supported, and manual CSV import covers any institution. An optional AI assistant answers questions grounded in your own financial data. Because the app was built as a paid product with professional design before being open-sourced, its interface quality exceeds most community finance tools - and self-hosting means your balances and transactions are not monetized by a free app or gated behind an annual subscription. The stack is Ruby on Rails with Hotwire on PostgreSQL, licensed AGPL-3.0 and deployed via Docker. The original repository is archived; development continues in the community fork Sure, compatible with the same self-hosted setup.

With nearly 12,000 GitHub stars and a lineage tracing back to Sphinx Search, Manticore Search is the C++ search database that delivers the full-text, vector, and hybrid search capabilities of Elasticsearch at a fraction of the resource cost — starting in under a second and consuming just 40MB RAM for an empty instance. The SQL-first interface speaks the MySQL wire protocol, meaning mysql client, MySQL Workbench, and any MySQL-compatible driver connects natively without adapters, while the HTTP JSON API provides RESTful access for modern applications. Over 20 full-text operators handle proximity search, quorum matching, field-start and field-end constraints, MAYBE operators, and regex patterns, backed by stemming, lemmatization, stopwords, synonyms, wordforms, and advanced morphology in 70+ languages. Vector search with HNSW indexing enables semantic similarity queries, and hybrid mode combines keyword relevance with vector distance in a single ranked result set using a cost-based query optimizer. Real-time indexing delivers sub-second document availability after insert, sharded tables distribute data across nodes, and Galera-based synchronous replication ensures high availability. Conversational search via CREATE CHAT MODEL and CALL CHAT integrates LLM-backed responses with KNN retrieval and conversation history directly inside the database. Client libraries ship for PHP, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, Rust, and Elixir. Columnar storage via the Manticore Columnar Library handles analytical workloads on large datasets.
