Enter a URL and get a dashboard of everything publicly discoverable about its security posture, server architecture, and technology stack: Web-Check is an all-in-one OSINT tool for analyzing any website. One scan surfaces IP info and server location, the full SSL certificate chain with issuing authority and validity, DNS records (A, MX, NS, CNAME, TXT) with DNSSEC status, HTTP response headers interpreted for security directives like HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options, cookies and their flags, WHOIS domain info, robots.txt crawl rules, a sitemap-derived page map, the redirect ledger, open ports, traceroute, detected technologies, third-party trackers, associated hostnames, site performance, and even carbon footprint. Each card explains what the data means and why it matters, which makes the tool double as a security education resource - junior engineers learn headers and attack surfaces by scanning real sites. Practical uses span pre-deployment security audits (catch missing headers and misconfigurations before they ship), privacy compliance checks (identify trackers and cookie behavior for GDPR work), competitive tech-stack research, and network debugging via DNS and redirect inspection. Built by Lissy93 in TypeScript, it deploys as a single Docker container, and self-hosting keeps your reconnaissance targets and audit activity off third-party services.

Getting non-technical friends and family onto a media server is its most tedious chore - Wizarr solves it. Instead of manually creating accounts, dictating server addresses, and explaining which app to install, you send one invite link. When the recipient clicks it, Wizarr creates their account on your server automatically - Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Audiobookshelf, Komga, Kavita, and Romm are all supported - then walks them through a mobile-first, app-like onboarding wizard: download the right client, sign in, and learn how to request movies through your Overseerr or Ombi instance, with an optional Discord server invite along the way. Invitations are genuinely manageable: set expiration dates, usage limits, passphrases, library-scoped access tiers, and time-limited memberships that end access automatically. The wizard itself is fully customizable - Markdown-based steps managed from the admin UI, organized into pre-invite and post-invite phases (terms of service before joining, app setup after), reorderable bundles assignable to specific invitation types, and combined flows for invites spanning multiple servers. Multi-server and multi-admin support manages several backends from one dashboard, SSO support is plug-and-play, and a REST API with OpenAPI/Swagger documentation covers automation. A Flask/HTMX app in a single Docker container.

The fediverse's answer to YouTube comes from French non-profit Framasoft: PeerTube is a TypeScript/Angular video platform where hundreds of independently operated instances federate over ActivityPub into one network. Videos you publish are discoverable across the whole video fediverse, and viewers can follow your channels from Mastodon or any ActivityPub platform - or plain RSS - without needing an account on your instance. The namesake innovation attacks video hosting's core cost problem: alongside HLS delivery, an optional WebRTC-based P2P layer lets concurrent viewers' browsers share video segments with each other, so a video going viral distributes its own bandwidth demand instead of crushing your server; instance redundancy extends this by letting friendly instances cache each other's videos. Livestreaming is first-class - stream via OBS or any RTMP software, host permanent streams, enable replays, and interact through live chat. Creators get channels, playlists, analytics, built-in video editing (trim, watermark), and an embeddable player for any website. There are no ads, no data mining, and no recommendation algorithm engineered for watch-time - the project's explicit design stance. Admins control federation policy, P2P settings, and theming; a plugin system extends the rest. AGPL-licensed, 300+ contributors, in active development since 2015.

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.

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.

Magento's extensibility without PHP, Shopify's polish without the platform tax: EverShop is the TypeScript-first e-commerce platform built on that promise. Architected as a modular monolith on Node.js, it organizes every piece of business logic - catalog, checkout, customers, your custom extensions - into modules that plug in without touching core code, extended through a disciplined set of mechanisms: registry processors for transforming data across modules, hooks that wrap function calls, async event subscribers (product created, order placed), and route middleware. The storefront and the fully-featured admin panel are both React with server-side rendering and hydration, giving fast first paint and SEO-friendly pages, while a typed GraphQL API (plus REST endpoints) serves exactly the data each view needs - the same API that powers headless and PWA builds. Standard commerce is covered: product management with variants and attributes, category navigation, cart and checkout, order and customer management, coupons, and a theme system built on React components and Tailwind for deep storefront customization. PostgreSQL is the default database, deployment is Docker-friendly with near-zero configuration, and the GPL-3.0 license means the entire stack - types, resolvers, and checkout flow included - is yours to read and modify.

A pile of paper becomes a searchable digital archive under Paperless-ngx, the community-maintained document management system. The pipeline is what makes it work: drop a file into the consumption folder (or let it poll an email inbox), and a worker hashes it for duplicate detection, routes it by type, runs OCRmyPDF with Tesseract (100+ languages) on anything without a text layer, and produces an archivable PDF/A with invisible selectable text embedded - so Ctrl+F works on your scans. Then the smart part: a scikit-learn classifier (TF-IDF plus multi-label prediction) trained on your own tagged documents automatically assigns tags, correspondents, and document types to new arrivals, alongside rule-based exact, keyword, and regex matching for deterministic cases. Full-text search includes relevance ranking, match highlighting, autocomplete, and "more like this" similarity search. Apache Tika integration extends consumption to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and LibreOffice formats. The Django/Angular app adds custom fields, saved views on a customizable dashboard, bulk editing, workflow automation triggered on upload or matching, shareable public links with expiration, and a robust permissions system with per-document access control. Metadata lives in PostgreSQL with Redis-queued Celery workers processing documents in parallel. Your tax records, invoices, and contracts stay on your server - searchable in seconds, never in someone else's cloud.

Most design tools stop at prototyping; Quant-UX also measures how real users actually perform with the prototype. The visual editor creates prototypes that behave like real apps - functional input widgets, animations, form validation, data binding across screens, and business logic modeled with REST requests and decision elements. Design systems are first-class, with components, design tokens, and master screens; if you design elsewhere, drop in image files or import from Figma. Testing is a shared link or QR code - no installs on the tester's side. Define user tasks up front, and Quant-UX records every session: click heatmaps show where users found (or missed) actionable elements, user journey graphs expose lost users, drop-off charts reveal where tasks stall, and success rates and task KPIs are extracted automatically into a dashboard. An A/B test operator wires two design variants into one prototype and compares task duration, success rate, and interaction counts. In-prototype surveys collect qualitative feedback alongside the numbers, and an AI assistant generates prototype fragments like styled forms on request. The RepoCloud deployment runs the full stack - frontend, backend, and WebSocket server containers over MongoDB - so all test recordings and research data stay on your infrastructure.

Engineers who have outgrown Duplicati or rsync scripts tend to appreciate Kopia's design: encrypted, compressed, content-deduplicated snapshots in Go, stored in a repository on any storage you control - S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, Backblaze B2, SFTP, WebDAV, or a plain filesystem. Encryption is mandatory and end-to-end: every block is encrypted client-side with AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 using keys derived from your repository password, and even file names never leave the machine in plaintext. Blocks are packed into 20-40 MB blobs with random names, so the storage provider learns nothing about content or structure. Deduplication is automatic and content-based - identical data across files, snapshots, and even multiple machines backing up to the same repository is stored once. Policies govern everything per-directory: compression choice, retention (hourly through annual), scheduling, and ignore rules. Incremental snapshots are point-in-time records you can mount and browse like a filesystem. This deployment runs the Kopia repository server with its web UI, centralizing backups from multiple client machines over an authenticated API - each client connects with the server URL and certificate fingerprint, and users only see their own snapshots. Error correction, high-latency-tolerant caching, and both CLI and GUI round it out.

A question goes in; a cited, long-form report comes out - GPT Researcher is an open-source autonomous research agent. A planner agent decomposes the query into sub-questions, execution agents crawl 20+ web sources in parallel with JavaScript-enabled scraping, and a publisher aggregates findings into a 2,000+ word report with inline citations, exportable to PDF, Word, and Markdown. The Deep Research mode extends this recursively: each result yields follow-up questions that are explored to configurable breadth and depth in a tree pattern, while accumulated learnings, citations, and visited URLs are shared across branches. It also researches local documents (PDF, CSV, Word) alongside the web. LLM and search providers are pluggable, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, and Ollama for models, and Tavily, Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and SearXNG for retrieval. It ships as a Python package, a FastAPI server with web frontend, a Docker image, and an MCP server for use inside Claude or Cursor. MIT-licensed.

Images, text, audio, video, HTML, PDFs, and time series, labeled in one tool with a standardized output format: Label Studio is the open-source data labeling platform for building training datasets. Computer vision tasks cover classification, object detection (boxes, polygons, ellipses, keypoints), and semantic segmentation; audio work spans transcription, speaker diarization, and emotion recognition; NLP handles named entity recognition and document classification with taxonomies up to 10,000 classes; and GenAI workflows support LLM fine-tuning data and RLHF response ranking. Labeling interfaces are fully configurable with an XML-like templating language, so the UI matches the task instead of the reverse. The ML backend SDK turns any model into a connected web server for pre-annotation (model predicts, humans verify), interactive labeling (real-time predictions as annotators draw regions or highlight text), and model evaluation - cutting annotation time dramatically on large datasets. Data imports from S3, GCS, or file uploads; the Data Manager filters and explores tasks; exports convert to the format your ML library expects via label-studio-converter. Multi-user accounts tie every annotation to its author, and webhooks, a Python SDK, and REST API embed labeling into any pipeline. Self-hosting keeps proprietary training data - often a company's most sensitive asset - entirely on your infrastructure.

Work, personal, business, and school calendars at different providers double-book because no one system sees your real availability - Keeper solves that multi-calendar collision problem. Its pull-compare-push sync engine aggregates events from Google Calendar, Outlook/Office 365, iCloud, FastMail, any CalDAV server, or read-only iCal/ICS feeds, and pushes blocking events to one or many destination calendars so time slots align everywhere. The design is deliberately content-agnostic - it syncs timeslots, not titles or descriptions, so a personal appointment shows as busy time on your work calendar without leaking details. Sync logic is clean: events Keeper creates carry a traceable UID suffix, deletions propagate, and orphaned entries are purged automatically. A token-authenticated aggregated iCal feed combines selected calendars into one subscribable URL for Apple Calendar or Thunderbird. An optional MCP server gives AI agents read-only calendar access over OAuth 2.1 - list calendars and query events by date range, with no write capability. Built with Next.js and Bun under AGPL-3.0, the standalone Docker image bundles web, API, cron, worker, Redis, and PostgreSQL in one container, and self-hosting unlocks every Pro feature - unlimited calendars and one-minute sync intervals - for free.

API keys hardcoded in repos, database passwords pasted into CI variables, .env files emailed between developers - Infisical, the open-source platform for secrets, certificates, and privileged access management, is the answer to all three. Secrets live in versioned stores scoped by project, environment, and path, with fine-grained identity-aware access control and full audit logging on every read and change. Delivery covers every consumption pattern: CLI injection into local dev, SDKs for Go, Node.js, and Python, an HTTP API, agents, a Kubernetes Operator, and secret syncs that push to GitHub, GitLab, AWS Secrets Manager, and Vercel. Automatic rotation replaces credentials for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, LDAP, AWS IAM, and Azure on a rolling schedule - new credentials issue while old ones stay temporarily valid, so nothing breaks mid-rotation. Dynamic secrets go further, generating ephemeral, time-bound database credentials on demand, and SSH access replaces static keys with short-lived CA-signed certificates that expire automatically. Secrets scanning catches hardcoded credentials in code and pipelines, certificate management automates X.509 issuance and renewal, and a built-in KMS handles encrypt/decrypt with central key control. Self-hosting keeps the keys to everything else on your own infrastructure.

Browse trending titles, search anything, request it in two clicks: Jellyseerr gives Jellyfin, Emby, and Plex users a beautiful storefront for the media library. Born as the Overseerr fork that added Jellyfin and Emby support (the projects have since unified as Seerr), it handles the full request lifecycle - users authenticate with their existing media-server accounts, pick individual seasons or movies in a clean interface, and admins approve or decline from a simple queue, including on mobile. Approved requests flow straight to Sonarr and Radarr, which handle acquisition automatically, with support for separate 4K server instances. Regular library scans keep availability accurate, so users see instantly what already exists instead of requesting duplicates. A granular permission system controls who can request what - auto-approval for trusted users, quotas and limits elsewhere - and override rules adjust request routing by user, tag, or other conditions. Watchlist and blocklist functions curate discovery, notifications reach email, Discord, Telegram, Slack, Pushover, and Pushbullet, and both PostgreSQL and SQLite are supported. Localized into many languages, it turns "can you add this movie?" texts into a self-service system that runs itself.

Add a series once, set a quality profile, and everything downstream is automated: Sonarr is the smart PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It monitors RSS feeds from your indexers, detects new episodes the moment they release, sends matching grabs to SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Deluge, or another download client, then renames files with fully configurable templates, sorts them into consistent folder structures, and notifies Plex, Kodi, or Jellyfin to update the library. Quality profiles define what's acceptable (HDTV, WEB-DL, Blu-ray, up to 4K) and an upgrade cutoff - when a better release appears, Sonarr replaces the existing file automatically, stepping from HDTV to WEB-DL to Blu-ray until the cutoff is met. Custom formats add weighted scoring for finer-grained release selection, with community-maintained TRaSH Guides presets as the widely accepted defaults. Failed downloads are handled without intervention: Sonarr retries with another release, and manual search shows every candidate with the reasons any was rejected. It scans existing libraries for missing episodes, fully supports specials, multi-episode files, and daily and anime series types, and a calendar view shows upcoming episodes across every tracked show. Runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and Raspberry Pi, and pairs naturally with Prowlarr for centralized indexer management.

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.

The integrations your SaaS product offers its own users - that is what Nango, an open-source product-integrations platform, exists to build. It solves the repetitive infrastructure work behind every third-party API connection: OAuth flows, API key handling, token refresh, encrypted credential storage, rate-limit backoff, retries, and multi-tenant connection management. It ships pre-built auth configurations for 800+ APIs. Your users connect their accounts through an embeddable, white-label Connect UI, and your backend then reads or writes data through Nango's proxy, SDKs, or REST API without ever touching raw credentials. Integration logic is written as TypeScript functions covering actions, scheduled data syncs, and webhook processing - all running on one runtime with retries, checkpointing, and per-connection logs built in. Syncs pull records incrementally on a schedule, one-way or two-way, which suits RAG pipelines, search indexing, and keeping local copies of external data current. Selected actions can also be exposed as tool schemas or through a built-in MCP server, so AI agents operate on user-connected accounts without ever handling provider credentials. Auth support spans OAuth 2.0, OAuth 1.0a, API keys, basic auth, and JWT, and observability - logs, metrics, failure detection, and a reconnect flow for expired credentials - is scoped per customer connection for easier support debugging. Works with any backend language. Self-hosting on RepoCloud keeps all customer credentials and synced data on infrastructure you control, which matters for data residency and compliance requirements.

Securing a SaaS product, running B2B onboarding, or replacing Auth0 and Keycloak with a stack they own - teams needing more than basic auth reach for ZITADEL, an open-source identity and access management platform built in Go. Its multi-tenancy model is the differentiator: a strict Instance, Organization, Project hierarchy isolates data and scopes policy at each level, with identity brokering (pre-built templates for Google, GitHub, Microsoft, Apple, plus generic OIDC, OAuth, SAML, and LDAP), domain discovery that routes users to the right organization by email domain, and delegated management so customers administer their own users and roles. Authentication covers OpenID Connect (certified, including device authorization and token exchange), SAML 2.0 as both IdP and SP, SCIM, FIDO2 passkeys for phishing-resistant passwordless login, and MFA via OTP, email, SMS, and U2F; machine-to-machine flows support JWT profile, PATs, and client credentials. The architecture is event-sourced - every mutation is an immutable event, yielding a complete audit trail - with relational projections for queries and no external session store, so it scales horizontally. API-first with gRPC and REST, extensible via Actions webhooks, and the same codebase self-hosted (Docker Compose or Helm on PostgreSQL) as in the cloud.
