Open Source App Cloud Marketplace

Webhooks, cron schedules, and app events trigger chains of nodes that fetch, transform, and route data: n8n is a workflow automation platform built around a visual, node-based editor. It ships with 400+ built-in integrations covering databases like Postgres, SaaS tools like Slack and HubSpot, and every major AI provider. When a pre-built node does not exist, the HTTP Request node calls any REST API, and the Code node runs JavaScript or Python inline, so you are never blocked by a missing connector. Workflows execute as directed graphs with branching, loops, error handling, and sub-workflows, and every run is logged for inspection and replay during debugging. It also includes LangChain-based nodes for building AI agents with tool calling and memory. Self-hosting on RepoCloud gives you unlimited workflow executions with no per-task pricing, and all data stays on your instance. Runs on Node.js with SQLite by default; add Postgres and Redis queue mode when you need to scale workers horizontally.

Large language models get a polished front end that can run fully offline: Open WebUI is the self-hosted front end of choice. It talks to local model runners, primarily Ollama, and to any OpenAI-compatible API, so LM Studio, vLLM, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, and cloud providers all plug into the same chat interface and can be mixed per conversation. RAG is built in: upload files to knowledge bases or reference them in chat with the # command, backed by a choice of nine vector databases (ChromaDB and PGVector officially maintained) and multiple extraction engines including Tika and Docling, with hybrid BM25-plus-vector search and cross-encoder reranking. Web search results from providers like SearXNG, Brave, and Tavily inject directly into conversations. Extensibility comes from Python tools and functions that run inside the chat, a Pipelines plugin framework, and native MCP support. Multi-user features include RBAC, SSO, and group permissions, and the instance itself exposes an OpenAI-compatible API your own apps can call.

Your own Heroku or Vercel on a single server - Dokploy is the open-source, self-hosted Platform-as-a-Service that makes the swap. You point it at a Git repository or a Docker image, and it builds and deploys the application using Dockerfiles, Nixpacks, or Heroku/Paketo buildpacks. Traefik is integrated as the reverse proxy, handling routing, load balancing, automatic Let's Encrypt SSL certificates, and HTTP/3. It also provisions and manages databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, Redis) with automated backups to external storage. Complex multi-service applications deploy through native Docker Compose support, and multi-node scaling uses Docker Swarm. The web UI covers environment variables, volumes, resource limits, real-time CPU/memory/network monitoring, and deployment logs, with a CLI and API for automation. Deployment notifications go to Slack, Discord, Telegram, or email. One-click templates install common open-source tools, and a single Dokploy control plane can manage deployments across multiple remote servers. Because everything is standard Docker under the hood, there is no lock-in: your Dockerfiles, Compose files, and data volumes work anywhere else Docker runs. You get the Heroku-style push-to-deploy workflow without operating a Kubernetes cluster, and the total cost is the server it runs on - no per-app, per-environment, or per-seat platform fees regardless of how many applications you deploy.

Describe a component in natural language and watch it render: OpenUI, from Weights & Biases, is an open alternative to Vercel's v0. Type a prompt like "a dark-themed dashboard with a sidebar and charts" and the LLM renders working HTML with Tailwind styling live in the browser. You then iterate conversationally, asking for changes until the design is right, and convert the result to React, Svelte, or Web Components for use in a real project. The backend is Python with LiteLLM routing, so it works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, and Mistral API keys, or fully offline against local Ollama models, including vision models like LLaVA that can generate UI from screenshot input - feed a screenshot and the model reproduces or riffs on an existing interface. Generated markup is inspectable at any point, with light and dark mode toggles, theme selection, and responsive previews across device sizes. The practical effect is compressing the mockup-review-revise loop from hours to minutes: a described layout renders in seconds and iterates through follow-up prompts, and because output converts to real framework code, prototypes feed directly into production codebases instead of staying trapped in a design tool. Self-hosting keeps unreleased product interfaces and prompts on your own server, and LiteLLM routing lets you pick the model per task - a cheap fast model for rough drafts, a stronger one for final passes, or free local models for unlimited experimentation.

Data, AI, and infrastructure workflows, orchestrated from declarative YAML: Kestra is an open-source, event-driven orchestration platform. Flows are declared in YAML - no DSL rewrites or Python decorators - and the definition stays the single source of truth even when edited through the UI, API, CI/CD, or Terraform, which makes pull-request review, versioning, and rollback natural. Tasks run in any language: Python, Node.js, Go, Rust, R, SQL, or Bash scripts executed in containers, and a plugin ecosystem of 1,000+ integrations covers ingestion, dbt, Airbyte, Spark, cloud storage, databases, and messaging systems. Scheduling supports cron triggers, event triggers, backfills, and conditional branching, with retries, timeouts, error handling, and typed inputs and outputs that surface artifacts in the UI. Namespaces, labels, and subflows organize workflows at scale, and the embedded code editor includes Git integration. Common uses span ETL/ELT pipelines, dbt runs, microservice coordination, infrastructure provisioning, and human-in-the-loop approvals. Java-based, Apache 2.0 licensed, deployed via Docker or Kubernetes.

Teams that cannot send messages through someone else's cloud run Mattermost - the open-core, self-hosted alternative to Slack. It provides public and private channels, threaded discussions, unlimited search history, file sharing with previews, one-to-one audio calls, and screen sharing, with desktop clients for Windows, macOS, and Linux plus iOS and Android apps. Messages support full Markdown, which suits engineering conversations with code blocks and logs. Playbooks turn repeatable processes such as incident response and release management into checklist-driven workflows with automated triggers and retrospectives. Integration is a core strength: prebuilt connectors for GitHub, GitLab, Jira, ServiceNow, and PagerDuty, plus webhooks, slash commands, bots, a REST API, and a plugin marketplace with 700+ entries - together making it a working surface for ChatOps rather than just a chat room. Playbooks add keyword and event triggers, task assignment, status broadcasting, and post-incident retrospectives, so operational knowledge is not trapped in individuals' heads. The server is a single Go binary backed by PostgreSQL, with React clients, released monthly under MIT license and deployable fully air-gapped - which is why governments and defense organizations run it inside closed networks, and why the same control applies to any team with confidentiality requirements. The compiled Team Edition is free for unlimited users with no message history cutoff, so costs stay flat as the team grows.

Any SSH-accessible Linux box - VPS, bare metal, Raspberry Pi, EC2 - becomes a Heroku-like deployment environment under Coolify, an open-source, self-hostable platform-as-a-service. Connect a GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea repository and every push builds and deploys automatically via Nixpacks, a Dockerfile, or Docker Compose, with Traefik reverse proxying, automatic Let's Encrypt certificates, and per-branch preview deployments with their own URLs. Databases - PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis - provision in a few clicks, and a catalog of 280+ one-click service templates covers WordPress, n8n, Grafana, MinIO, Plausible, and more, replacing an afternoon of Compose YAML with a two-minute operation. One dashboard manages multiple servers, with Docker Swarm available for clustering. Backups go to any S3-compatible storage with one-click restore, a browser terminal gives real-time server access, and a full API supports CI/CD integration. All configuration lives on your own servers, so resources keep running even without Coolify. Apache 2.0 licensed.

Sketch a wireframe, get working code: Draw a UI turns hand-drawn layouts into web interfaces. It pairs the open-source tldraw canvas with an OpenAI vision model: you sketch a layout - boxes, labels, buttons, arrows, whatever communicates the idea - select the drawing, and click Make Real. The app snapshots your selection as a PNG, sends it to the vision API with instructions to return a single HTML file styled with Tailwind CSS, and renders the result in an iframe directly on the canvas next to your sketch. The loop is iterative: annotate the generated prototype or redraw parts of it, select both the sketch and the previous result, and generate again - the model receives the earlier HTML as context and produces an updated version. Built by Figma engineer Sawyer Hood as one of the first viral GPT-4 Vision demos and the basis for tldraw's "Make Real", it is a Next.js app that runs against your own OpenAI API key. Self-hosting matters here: the upstream demo ships without authentication, so a private deployment keeps your API key from being drained by strangers. MIT-licensed.

CRMs, project trackers, inventory tools - NocoBase is an open-source no-code/low-code platform for building business systems like these. Its architecture is data-model driven: you define collections and relationships first, then compose any number of interface blocks (tables, forms, kanban, charts) on top of the same model, so data structure is never coupled to a particular view. The core is a microkernel where every feature is a plugin, WordPress-style; you enable official plugins, install marketplace ones, or write your own as npm packages with server and client parts. Data sources include the main PostgreSQL or MySQL database, external databases, and third-party APIs - so you can build admin panels over existing production data instead of migrating it. Built-in infrastructure covers role-based permissions down to collection, record, and field level, workflow automation with approval steps and scheduled triggers, and audit logs; a one-click switch flips between usage and configuration modes. Because custom features live in isolated plugins with a documented lifecycle, core upgrades do not overwrite your customizations, and swapping UIs never requires data migrations since interfaces sit on independent models. Written in TypeScript on Node.js, Koa, and React under the AGPL license, it is light enough for one person to run and extend - and where no-code SaaS platforms charge per seat and per app, a self-hosted instance runs unlimited applications for unlimited users at hosting cost alone.

Scheduling infrastructure, not just a booking page - Cal.com is the leading open-source scheduling platform. Share a link, attendees pick a slot, and real-time sync against Google Calendar, Outlook, and CalDAV prevents double-booking. Beyond the basics it covers team workflows: round-robin distribution, collective availability across multiple hosts, recurring meetings, and routing forms that ask bookers questions and send them to the right team member - the feature sales and support teams usually pay enterprise prices for. Paid bookings run through Stripe, video calls through the built-in Cal Video (Daily.co) or Zoom and Google Meet, and an app store connects 100+ tools including HubSpot, Zapier, and n8n. The API-first architecture with webhooks and embeds makes it practical to build scheduling into your own product, white-labeled with your domain and branding. Built on Next.js and Prisma over PostgreSQL, translated into 65+ languages, with the self-hostable community codebase maintained under an open-source license.

Zapier's job, on your own server: Activepieces is an open-source workflow automation platform built to be exactly that replacement. Flows are built in a visual no-code editor with triggers, actions, loops, conditional branches, auto-retries, raw HTTP steps, and code steps that run JavaScript or TypeScript with full npm package support. Integrations are "pieces" - type-safe TypeScript npm packages with hot reloading for local development - and the catalog spans 600+ services, with the large majority contributed by the community. The platform is AI-first in two directions: native AI pieces call OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Azure models inside flows, and every piece automatically doubles as an MCP server, so assistants like Claude Desktop and Cursor can invoke your integrations and workflows through natural language. A built-in MCP server also exposes 30 tools for building flows, managing tables, and running tests agentically. Flows are fully versioned with draft and locked states. The core is MIT-licensed and runs on TypeScript with PostgreSQL and Redis.

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.

The de facto dashboard of observability: Grafana is the open-source frontend that turns the data stores you already run into interactive graphs. It does not store metrics itself; it connects to the data stores you already run and turns their contents into interactive dashboards. Supported sources number over 150 via plugins: Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, InfluxDB, Elasticsearch, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Google Cloud Monitoring, and many more. Dashboards are built from a large library of panel types (time series, heatmaps, tables, gauges, logs) with template variables for reusable, parameterized views. Unified alerting evaluates rules against any connected data source, not just Prometheus, and routes notifications to Slack, PagerDuty, email, and other channels with grouping and silencing - unlike Prometheus Alertmanager, a single rule can combine a Loki log pattern, a PostgreSQL query result, and a CloudWatch metric. Dashboards serialize to JSON and data sources configure via provisioning files, so the entire observability setup can live in Git and deploy repeatably across environments. Explore mode adds ad-hoc querying outside dashboards, with split view for correlating a metric spike against the matching log lines, and access control spans organizations, teams, folder permissions, and OAuth, LDAP, and SAML integration. Written in Go and TypeScript, AGPL-licensed. Self-hosting gives you unlimited users, dashboards, and queries at flat hosting cost, without Grafana Cloud's usage-based pricing.

Typeform's conversational format, self-hosted: HeyForm is the open-source form builder that presents one question at a time. Forms present one question at a time, which measurably improves completion rates compared to long static pages. It supports 40+ field types, from text, email, and phone inputs to picture choices, date pickers, star ratings, signatures, and file uploads. Conditional logic shows or hides questions based on earlier answers, routes respondents to different endings, and redirects to URLs, so a single form can serve multiple flows. Completed submissions land in a results dashboard with drop-off and completion analytics, and connect outward through webhooks or integrations with Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, and Slack. Theming covers fonts, colors, backgrounds, and custom CSS, so embedded forms look native to your site rather than like a third-party widget; the JavaScript embed library renders them inline, as popups, or full-page, with shareable standalone links as the default. Team workspaces and projects with member management let multiple teams share one instance without mixing data. Self-hosting removes per-response pricing entirely - unlimited forms and submissions for flat hosting cost - and keeps lead data, feedback, and quiz answers in your own MongoDB, simplifying GDPR compliance. The stack is a NestJS server and React webapp backed by MongoDB and KeyDB, distributed under GPLv3 as a Docker image.

Open the page, write a Markdown note, move on - Memos is a lightweight, self-hosted service built for quick capture. Instead of folders, notebooks, and titles, it presents a timeline: open the page, write a Markdown note, and move on. Notes support headings, code blocks with syntax highlighting, task lists, tables, and file attachments, with tags auto-extracted from #hashtags in the text. Each memo carries a visibility level, private, protected (logged-in users), or public, so one instance works as a personal log, a small team wiki, or a lightweight microblog. The backend is a single Go binary with a React frontend, around 50 MB of memory at runtime and a ~20 MB Docker image, so it fits comfortably on the smallest instance size with near-zero maintenance. SQLite is the default store, with MySQL and PostgreSQL supported for multi-user deployments needing more concurrency, and full REST and gRPC APIs - Connect RPC for browsers, gRPC-Gateway for external tools - make capture scriptable from CLIs, bots, and automation platforms. Fast full-text search spans all memos, pinned notes keep references handy, and a masonry view suits visual browsing. MIT-licensed with zero telemetry; content is stored as plain Markdown in a database you control, so notes remain readable, exportable, and free of proprietary formats.

Chat with your own documents: AnythingLLM, from Mintplex Labs, wraps retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in an open-source application anyone can run. You organize content into workspaces, each an isolated namespace with its own documents, vector embeddings, chat history, and settings, so one instance can hold several separate knowledge bases. Upload PDFs, DOCX, TXT, and other formats, or scrape web pages; the built-in collector parses and chunks them into a vector database (LanceDB by default, with Pinecone, Chroma, Qdrant, and others supported). Answers cite their source documents. It works with both cloud LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) and local ones via Ollama or LM Studio, and the embedding model is separately configurable. Beyond RAG chat, it includes AI agents that can browse the web and run tools, an embeddable chat widget for your website, a developer API, and multi-user mode with admin, manager, and default roles plus per-workspace access control. Context assembly is smarter than naive RAG: pinned documents, attached files, vector search hits, and recent chat history are combined under a token budget so the model's context window is filled efficiently, and each workspace supports multiple independent conversation threads against the same knowledge base. Because the embedding model, vector store, and chat LLM are all independently swappable, you can move between providers without re-ingesting a single document. The stack is Node.js with a React frontend, MIT-licensed.

Retool's job, self-hosted: ToolJet is an open-source low-code platform for building internal tools, dashboards, and admin panels. Apps are assembled in a drag-and-drop visual builder with 60+ responsive components, including tables, charts, forms, and lists, and connected to 80+ data sources: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, REST and GraphQL APIs, cloud storage, and common SaaS tools. When visual configuration is not enough, you can run JavaScript or Python inline for queries and transformations. A built-in no-code database (ToolJet Database) covers apps that need their own tables without provisioning an external database, Workflows add node-based automation for background jobs with dedicated worker containers and a Redis-backed queue, and multi-page apps with multiplayer editing, inline comments, and mentions support team development. Security is designed for internal data: credentials are AES-256-GCM encrypted, data flows proxy-only through your server so database contents never reach a third-party cloud, and granular per-app access control plus SSO gate each tool. Where Retool-style platforms bill per builder and sometimes per end user, the self-hosted Community Edition serves unlimited builders and users at hosting cost, and full source availability means the platform itself can be forked, audited, and extended. The stack is Node.js and React on PostgreSQL, deployed via Docker.

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.
