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.

Your own Heroku or Vercel on a dedicated server — Dokploy is the open-source PaaS that replaces cloud platform subscriptions with a single dashboard you control. 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 handles reverse proxying, routing, load balancing, automatic Let's Encrypt SSL, and HTTP/3. Databases — MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, libsql, and Redis — provision from the UI with automated backups to any S3-compatible destination. Complex multi-service applications deploy through native Docker Compose support, and multi-node scaling uses Docker Swarm. The web dashboard covers environment variables, volumes, resource limits, real-time CPU/memory/network monitoring, and deployment logs, with a CLI and REST API for automation. Deploy notifications go to Slack, Discord, Telegram, or email. One-click templates install common open-source tools, and a single control plane can manage deployments across multiple remote servers. Because everything is standard Docker, there is no lock-in: Dockerfiles, Compose files, and data volumes work anywhere else Docker runs. The push-to-deploy workflow of a $20/seat cloud PaaS, running on a dedicated VPS with guaranteed CPU, RAM, SSD, and full root access — no per-app, per-environment, or per-seat fees regardless of how many applications you deploy. 26,000+ GitHub stars.

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.

In-app, website, link, and email surveys feed one open-source experience management platform: Formbricks. Its distinguishing strength is targeted in-app research: a JavaScript SDK triggers surveys on user events and attributes, with segmentation rules like "power users who have not seen a survey in 10 days," so questions reach the right cohort at the right moment instead of a mass email blast. The no-code editor offers 20+ question types including NPS, CSAT, CES, matrix, ranking, and file upload, with skip logic, conditional branching, best-practice templates, and full brand theming. Responses feed built-in analytics with summaries and CSV/JSON export, and integrations push data to Slack, Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, Zapier, and n8n, with webhooks and an open API on every tier. Because self-hosted surveys load from your own domain rather than a blacklisted third-party script host, ad blockers do not suppress them - in-app surveys reach users that Hotjar-style tools silently miss, which measurably raises response rates. Self-hosting also removes the third-party sub-processor from your privacy policy entirely: survey responses often contain PII, and keeping them on your own server matters for GDPR-sensitive and regulated industries. The Community Edition has no response caps or tier-gated features, so core functionality and your data stay accessible regardless of any subscription. Next.js on PostgreSQL, AGPLv3.

OpenRouter's most-used application by token volume — over 17 trillion tokens processed — Hermes Agent is an open-source autonomous agent built by Nous Research that lives on your server and gets more capable every day. Define a goal in natural language and Hermes plans sub-tasks, executes them through tool integrations, observes results, handles errors, and refines until the job is done or it genuinely needs your input. Persistent memory with full-text search and LLM summarization lets it recall context across sessions, and an agent-created skills system self-improves after complex tasks. A messaging gateway connects Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and 16 more platforms with cross-channel conversation continuity. A built-in cron scheduler runs daily reports, nightly backups, and weekly audits unattended. Subagent spawning parallelizes workstreams, and six terminal backends — local, Docker, SSH, Singularity, Modal, and Daytona — fit any infrastructure. Works with any LLM provider: Nous Portal, OpenRouter for 400+ models from 70+ providers, OpenAI, Anthropic, or your own endpoint. The API key you supply powers all LLM calls; billing goes through your own account. Running on a dedicated VPS with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

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.

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.

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.

The open-source PaaS with 55,000+ GitHub stars and the largest one-click service catalog in its class — Coolify gives you the Vercel push-to-deploy workflow on a dedicated server you control. Connect a GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Gitea repository and every push builds and deploys automatically via Nixpacks, a Dockerfile, or Docker Compose, with Traefik or Caddy 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, Ollama, and more. One dashboard manages the entire server, with Docker Swarm available for clustering multiple nodes. Backups go to any S3-compatible storage with one-click restore, and a full API supports CI/CD integration. All configuration lives on your own server, so resources keep running even if you stop using Coolify — no vendor lock-in by design. Running on a dedicated VPS with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root access via SSH and browser console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

A minimal Ubuntu 24.04 LTS virtual private server — no pre-installed applications, no opinionated configuration, just the operating system and root access. Start from a clean slate and install exactly what you need: web servers, databases, development toolchains, CI runners, monitoring stacks, VPN endpoints, game servers, or anything else that runs on Linux. The server ships with apt package management, systemd service supervision, and standard networking configured out of the box, giving you access to over 36,000 packages in the Universe repository alone. Connect via SSH with the key you select during deployment; a dedicated IPv4 address is included with every server at no extra charge. A browser-based serial console in the RepoCloud dashboard provides emergency access without an SSH client. Snapshots let you capture the server state before risky changes and roll back with one click. Resize CPU and RAM on demand without reinstalling. Canonical's standard security maintenance covers this LTS release through May 2029 — five years of patches for the Main repository. Ubuntu Pro extends that to ten years with additional Universe coverage, kernel livepatching, and compliance tooling, available free for up to five machines.

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.

Perplexity's search experience without Perplexity: Vane deploys Perplexica, an open-source AI answer engine built as the self-hosted alternative. Instead of returning a page of links, it reads your question, searches the live web through the SearxNG metasearch engine, and composes a direct answer with cited sources. Retrieval quality comes from embeddings and similarity search: fetched pages are re-ranked against the query so the model answers from the most relevant passages rather than whatever ranked first. Two query modes cover different needs - Normal mode runs a straightforward web search, while Copilot mode generates multiple reformulated queries and actively pulls content from top matches for harder questions. Focus modes specialize retrieval for academic papers, YouTube, Reddit discussions, Wolfram Alpha calculations, or the general web. The answering model is your choice: OpenAI-compatible APIs or fully local LLMs such as Llama 3 and Mixtral through Ollama, which keeps queries entirely on your infrastructure. Because SearxNG pulls live results, answers reflect current information, and no search history is tracked.

A personal AI assistant that remembers what it learns and reaches you wherever you are — OpenClaw is an open-source agent gateway built by the OpenClaw Foundation with 247,000+ GitHub stars. It connects to 200+ LLM models through providers like Anthropic, OpenRouter, and OpenAI, and meets you on 21+ messaging channels: Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage, Matrix, and more. Persistent memory with full-text search lets the agent recall context across sessions, and a self-improving skills system means it gets more capable the longer it runs. Voice wake words and talk mode enable hands-free interaction on macOS, iOS, and Android. A live canvas provides an agent-driven visual workspace. Built-in browser automation, cron scheduling for unattended tasks, and subagent spawning for parallel workstreams round out the toolset. The gateway architecture keeps all sessions, credentials, and conversation history on your own server — nothing transits a third-party cloud unless you choose to connect one. The API key you provide for your chosen LLM provider powers the underlying calls; billing goes through your own account. Running on a dedicated VPS with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Drag nodes onto a canvas and ship an LLM app: Flowise is an open-source visual builder for AI agents and LLM applications, written in Node.js on LangChain.js and licensed Apache-2.0. You assemble flows by dragging nodes onto a canvas: models, prompts, memory, vector stores, retrievers, and tools, then wire them together and test in the built-in chat panel. Three builder types cover increasing complexity: Assistant for simple RAG chat over uploaded files, Chatflow for single-agent systems with techniques like rerankers and Graph RAG, and Agentflow for multi-agent orchestration with branching, looping, shared flow state, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Over 100 integrations connect data sources, vector databases, and both proprietary and open-source models, plus MCP client and server nodes for standard tool interop. Finished flows are exposed as REST APIs, embedded chat widgets, or via JS and Python SDKs - each flow gets an endpoint the moment it is saved, removing the deployment gap between a working prototype and something your application can call. Execution logs, visual step debugging, and external log streaming trace behavior, while input moderation and rate limiting act as guardrails; RBAC, SSO, and workspaces cover team deployments. Self-hosting keeps prompts, encrypted credentials, and conversation data on your own instance, which matters when flows handle internal documents or customer data - and wiring a model, prompt, memory, and vector store on the canvas replaces the boilerplate a hand-coded LangChain project would need.

Teams tired of paying Salesforce or HubSpot per seat run EspoCRM: an AGPL-licensed PHP application with a fast single-page frontend over a REST API, covering sales, support, and marketing in one uncluttered interface. The sales core is complete - leads, contacts, accounts, opportunities with customizable pipeline stages, kanban views, calendars, meetings, and calls. Email is deeply integrated rather than bolted on: IMAP sync links messages to CRM records automatically, and mass email campaigns run with reusable templates, tracking, and Web-to-Lead forms feeding the funnel. Support teams get case management and a customer portal where clients track their own tickets and access a knowledge base. The real differentiator is the Entity Manager: create custom entities, fields, relationships, and layouts from the admin UI without code, with dynamic logic showing or hiding fields conditionally - EspoCRM is as much a business-application platform as a CRM. Formula scripting handles calculated fields and record automation in the free core; the optional Advanced Pack adds visual BPM process design and workflow rules. Role-based permissions with team and territory scoping, full-text search, reports, and a straightforward REST API for n8n or custom integrations round it out. Runs on PHP 8.3+ with MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL - unlimited users, zero per-seat fees.

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.

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.

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.
