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.

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.

Buzz delivers the first production workspace where humans and AI agents operate as cryptographically equal team members on a self-hosted Nostr relay. The Rust-based backend stores every message, code patch, CI result, review comment, and workflow step as a signed Nostr event in a unified PostgreSQL-backed event log with Redis pub/sub for real-time presence and S3/MinIO for media storage. The integrated Git forge implements NIP-34, turning feature branches into dedicated channels where patches, reviews, and merge decisions live alongside the discussion that produced them — eliminating the split between chat tools and code hosts. Through the open Agent Client Protocol, Buzz natively supports Goose, Anthropic Claude Code, and OpenAI Codex as first-class channel members with scoped permissions, their own audit trails, and the ability to create patches, run workflows, and orchestrate multi-step automations via YAML-defined triggers including message events, reactions, schedules, and webhooks. The Tauri-based desktop client runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, while buzz-cli provides agent-first JSON I/O for headless automation. Deploy via Docker Compose with the production bundle in deploy/compose/, Railway one-click, or build from source requiring Rust 1.88+, Node 24+, and pnpm. Multi-community mode scopes tenant data by domain with NIP-42 Schnorr authentication, rate limiting, and hash-chain audit logging. 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.

Backed by over 36,000 GitHub stars and 120 contributors with 123 releases since 2022, 1Panel has rapidly become the go-to open-source alternative to cPanel and Plesk for modern Linux server management. The platform delivers a clean Vue.js dashboard powered by a Go backend using the Gin framework, providing visual management of Docker containers, images, networks, and volumes without touching the command line. Its curated app marketplace offers one-click installation of 165+ trusted open-source applications including Nextcloud, Bitwarden, Umami analytics, WordPress, and NocoBase, each running in isolated containers for maximum security. Native AI capabilities set 1Panel apart from every competing panel: deploy Ollama LLMs directly from the dashboard, spin up OpenClaw personal agents, monitor GPU utilization, and manage AI models through a unified interface. Website management includes automatic domain binding, Let's Encrypt SSL certificate provisioning, and Nginx configuration with zero manual setup. Security runs deep with built-in firewall rules, fail2ban integration, container isolation, WAF protection, and comprehensive audit logging enabled from day one. Automated backups support AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, and local storage with one-click restore from any snapshot. The panel supports Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Rocky Linux across x86_64, aarch64, armv7l, ppc64le, and s390x architectures. 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.

ShareX and file uploads, next generation: Zipline is a Node.js/React/PostgreSQL server that turns screenshot sharing and file hosting into something you run yourself instead of renting from Imgur or a paid image host. The core workflow is built around ShareX: generate an .sxcu config from your account settings, import it, and every screenshot or clipboard capture uploads to your domain with a short link copied automatically. Uploads accept any file type, organized with folders and tags, with token-protected uploading, optional password protection, view-limited auto-deletion, image compression, metadata stripping, automatic video thumbnails, and chunked/partial uploads for large files. File URLs come in configurable formats - UUIDs, dates, random alphanumerics, original names, even zero-width spaces. A built-in URL shortener adds vanity slugs, passwords, view caps, and custom domains. Discord embeds are first-class: customize OG metadata titles, descriptions, and colors so links unfurl exactly how you want, and fire fully customizable Discord or HTTP webhooks on each upload. Authentication is serious: OAuth2 (Discord, GitHub, Google, OIDC), TOTP two-factor, and passkeys, with invite-based registration and per-user quotas for shared instances. Storage targets local disk or any S3-compatible backend, a full REST API automates everything, and custom themes plus a PWA round out the experience.

One downloadable WAR file gives your team a complete GitHub-style home for its code, with no per-seat bill and no repositories living on someone else's terms. You create public or private repositories and reach them over HTTP, HTTPS, or SSH, with Git LFS handling large binary assets alongside ordinary commits. The repository viewer includes an online file editor, so quick fixes and documentation tweaks happen in the browser without a local clone. Every repository carries its own issue tracker, pull request workflow, and wiki, keeping discussion, review, and project documentation next to the code they describe. Activity timelines and email notifications keep collaborators aware of new issues, comments, and merges as they happen. Administrators manage users and groups directly, connect account management to LDAP, and protect the instance with fine-grained repository visibility. A plug-in system extends the platform, and official plug-ins add gists, emoji, static Pages hosting, and richer notifications, while community plug-ins widen the menu further. Tools that already speak the GitHub API can point at your GitBucket instead, because its web API deliberately mirrors GitHub's. Upgrades stay simple: stop the process, replace the WAR, and restart with the same data directory. 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.

Unlike pull-request forges, Gerrit reviews every Git change as a series of patchsets, and nothing merges until the required approvals are in. Developers upload with a plain git push to a refs/for ref, adding push options for topics, hashtags, work-in-progress, or private changes. Each change gets a page listing reviewers, CCs, an attention set that flags who must act next, and submit requirements driven by labels such as Code-Review and Verified, with a quick approve button for the last missing vote. Side-by-side diffs with syntax highlighting take inline comments written in Markdown, saved as drafts and published together. A Checks tab shows CI runs reported by plugins, and integrations reach Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Zuul, and webhooks. Access rights attach to groups and branch patterns, including regular expressions, and inherit from parent projects and All-Projects. Sign-in works with LDAP, OAuth, OpenID, or HTTP single sign-on, and SAML through a plugin. A query language filters changes by status, owner, reviewer, label, file path, and reviewer count. Projects pick a submit strategy: merge if necessary, fast forward only, rebase if necessary, rebase always, merge always, or cherry pick. A REST API, SSH commands, and a plugin system extend the server, and an optional Review Agent chat panel can summarize a change once an AI provider plugin is installed. 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.

Hosting companies that sell VPS plans, game servers, or dedicated machines get a branded storefront, recurring billing, and a ticket desk from Paymenter, running on their own server. A customer browses a category, picks a free, one-time, or recurring plan billed every few days, weeks, months, or years, and shapes the order with select, radio, checkbox, text, number, or textarea options, some of which carry their own price. Prices can differ per currency, and a setup fee is optional. Payment runs through Stripe, PayPal, or Mollie, with tax rates and coupons set from the admin panel. Once it clears, a server extension for Pterodactyl, Virtualizor, VirtFusion, Convoy, cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, or Enhance creates the service. A daily job issues renewal invoices, suspends overdue accounts, and terminates long-overdue ones. The customer portal covers services, invoices, and tickets in 24 languages, and tickets accept replies by IMAP email piping. Staff work with roles, audit logs, email logs, and notification templates, while API keys and OAuth clients connect outside tools. Optional extensions add an affiliate program, announcements, and Discord alerts. Moving over from WHMCS takes one built-in command that imports clients, products, services, tickets, and invoices from a copy of your database. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Hosting a Minecraft survival world, a Terraria server, and a Palworld host no longer means juggling SSH sessions and screen windows, because MCSManager puts every instance behind one web panel. A built-in marketplace installs game servers from ready-made templates, filtered by operating system and tagged with the Java version each one needs, while any Docker Hub image, uploaded ZIP archive, or plain process can run as an instance with its own start command, stop command, and live terminal. Docker instances get memory, CPU, port mapping, and volume settings, and each instance can auto start, auto restart, and run scheduled tasks. For Minecraft servers, the plugin and mod manager (Beta) searches Modrinth and CurseForge, and the file manager handles maps, configs, and uploads. Administrators create user accounts and assign instances to them, so friends or paying customers only see their own servers, which suits small hosting businesses that sell game servers. Extra machines join as nodes and connect to the same panel, and the drag-and-drop dashboard can be rearranged to taste. The interface supports many languages. 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.

Afilmory turns a storage bucket full of originals into a polished photography portfolio, complete with EXIF panels, a GPS map, and a GPU-accelerated viewer that makes full-resolution images feel instant. Point the builder at Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, Backblaze B2, a GitHub repository, an Eagle library, or a plain local folder, and it syncs your photos, converts HEIC and TIFF files for the web, generates multi-size thumbnails with ThumbHash placeholders, and extracts complete metadata into a manifest the gallery reads at runtime. Visitors browse a responsive masonry grid that loads progressively, open any shot in a WebGPU viewer (WebGL fallback included) with smooth zoom and pan, and inspect camera body, lens, focal length, aperture, ISO, and GPS coordinates for every frame. Geotagged work appears on an interactive MapLibre map, iPhone Live Photos play back as motion, HDR gain-map images render properly on HDR displays, and Fujifilm shooters get their film simulation recipes displayed alongside the shot. Photographers can organize by the folders they already keep, since directory structure becomes tags automatically, and backend-powered galleries add visitor comments and reactions. Deploy it as a static site on any CDN or as a server-rendered Node.js application with per-photo Open Graph previews for sharing. 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.

With over 32,000 GitHub stars and a decade of production use since 2013, Dokku is the original self-hosted Heroku alternative — a Docker-powered PaaS that turns any single Ubuntu server into a full application platform with a simple git push. Deploy applications written in Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, Java, PHP, Scala, and Clojure using Heroku-compatible buildpacks, Cloud Native Buildpacks via pack-cli, standard Dockerfiles, or pre-built Docker images, with automatic language and framework detection handling the rest. Every deployment runs through zero-downtime checks that health-test new containers before routing traffic via the built-in Nginx reverse proxy, which handles virtual host configuration, WebSocket proxying, and HTTP/2 support automatically. The official plugin ecosystem provides managed datastores including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ, and Elasticsearch, each provisioned with a single CLI command and linked to apps via environment variables. Automated TLS certificates arrive through the Let's Encrypt plugin with auto-renewal, while persistent storage volumes, cron job scheduling, user ACL management, and process scaling round out the platform capabilities. The entire system is CLI-driven — no web dashboard — keeping resource overhead minimal enough to run multiple applications on a $5/month VPS. Dokku also supports Lambda function builds, custom builder plugins, and app.json-based healthcheck configuration for advanced deployment workflows. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Built for self-hosted server deployments, Laranode transforms bare Linux installations into multi-tenant web hosting platforms with automated Let's Encrypt certificates and isolated PHP environments without recurring license fees. System administrators can provision isolated user accounts with dedicated document roots, configure custom domains, and deploy SSL certificates across all active websites in seconds. The integrated PHP manager enables per-site runtime isolation from legacy PHP 7.4 through cutting-edge PHP 8.5 releases, preventing version conflicts between separate production web applications. Operators can create MySQL databases, manage database users, inspect active connections, and adjust UFW firewall port access directly from the visual dashboard. An integrated browser-based file manager lets developers browse directories, edit configuration files, extract compressed archives, and modify file permissions without external FTP tools. Real-time telemetry monitors CPU utilization, memory consumption, disk capacity, and network traffic over customizable historical timeframes to catch bottlenecks early. Automated backup routines archive full accounts, individual websites, or specific databases to local storage, remote SFTP servers, or S3-compatible cloud object stores with point-in-time recovery verification.

Hosting companies sell, invoice, provision, and support hosting, domains, SSL certificates, and VPS servers from PNLCS, a free self-hosted billing platform with one client portal at the center. Customers browse your catalog, configure services, apply coupons, and check out, and the moment an order is paid a server module creates the account or machine on Panelica, cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, HestiaCP, Proxmox VE, or Vultr. Renewals then run themselves: invoices are generated ahead of the due date, stored cards are charged with retries, reminders and late fees follow, and unpaid services suspend automatically and restore themselves once payment lands. Domain registration, transfers, renewals, WHOIS and EPP codes, and SSL issuance run through the same checkout, while customers manage their actual hosting from the portal itself, including files, mailboxes, databases, FTP accounts, subdomains, DNS records, cron jobs, and backups. Eight payment gateways share one engine, so partial payments, refunds, and credit balances behave the same everywhere. Support tickets route by department with priorities and attachments, a searchable knowledge base deflects repeat questions, and affiliates track referrals and commissions. Operators get revenue dashboards, client management with impersonation, bulk invoicing and mail, and twenty-seven reports covering income, MRR, churn, domains, and tax, all in thirty languages and sixteen themes. 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 37,400+ GitHub stars and active daily development by the Harness engineering team, Gitness is the open-source developer platform that ships Git hosting, container-native CI/CD pipelines, a Docker-compatible artifact registry, and cloud developer environments in a single Go binary consuming approximately 100 MB of RAM — compared to GitLab's 4+ GB minimum footprint. Born as the next generation of Drone CI, Gitness inherits Drone's battle-tested pipeline engine while adding complete source code management with pull requests featuring threaded code review comments, suggested changes, required reviewer approvals, and merge strategies including squash and rebase. Branch protection rules enforce mandatory pull requests, minimum peer reviews, passing status checks, and force-push blocking. Pipelines use Drone-compatible YAML syntax with stages, steps, and service containers, triggered automatically on code changes with results displayed directly in pull request checks. The built-in container registry eliminates the need for separate Harbor or Docker Registry deployments, supporting Docker image push and pull plus Helm chart storage. Gitspaces provide on-demand remote development environments configured via industry-standard devcontainer.json files. Encrypted secrets management with Gitleaks-powered secret scanning blocks commits containing hardcoded credentials. One-click migration imports existing GitHub Organizations and GitLab Groups, automatically converting GitHub Actions and GitLab CI pipelines to Gitness YAML. The REST API with OpenAPI specification enables programmatic management of all resources. 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.

walgit is a self-hosted Git server that keeps every repository inside one S3 or GCS bucket, so the machine serving your code is disposable while your history stays durable. Point the binary at a bucket, start it, and pushing to a new repository name creates that repository on the spot, with no admin console or provisioning step in between. Developers clone, fetch, and push over smart HTTP with Git LFS support for large files, and big clones are delivered as static bundle files so multi-gigabyte repositories never bottleneck the server process. The built-in web interface lets you browse file trees, read files, review commit history, and inspect diffs directly in the browser. Per-repository policy files control protected branches, fast-forward-only references, and bypass lists, so release branches stay guarded without a separate compliance tool. A JSON API and the dependency-free repos.js SDK let scripts, internal dashboards, and automation agents read repository data programmatically, with long operations streaming progress as server-sent events. Webhooks deliver exactly-once reference events to CI systems, chat tools, and deployment pipelines whenever branches or tags move. Background checkpoints and compaction keep storage tidy on their own, while token or OpenID Connect sign-in decides who may read and who may push. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Cap is an open-source screen recorder with a built-in sharing site, so the explanation you would have booked a call for becomes a link someone can watch whenever it suits them. Pick Instant Mode when speed matters: choose a screen, window, or area, add your camera and microphone, and the video uploads while you record, so the share link is ready the second you stop. Pick Studio Mode when polish matters: Cap records locally at up to 4K and 60 frames per second, keeps screen and camera as separate tracks, and opens an editor for trimming, backgrounds, zooms, captions, and export to MP4 or GIF. Whichever mode made it, a shared video lands on a page that plays in any browser, where viewers can leave comments and reactions. Owners can keep a video private or protect it with a password, and team workspaces keep a shared library organized. Share pages come from your own domain, and recordings live in the bundled object store or any S3-compatible bucket. Connect a transcription and AI provider to add transcripts, titles, summaries, and clickable chapters. Bug reports, product demos, onboarding walkthroughs, design reviews, and async standups all shrink to a short recording and a link. The desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux connect to your server through a single Cap Server URL setting. 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.

VitoDeploy replaces a pile of SSH sessions and shell scripts with one browser tab for provisioning servers and deploying websites, on a control panel you host yourself. Spin up a server on AWS, Akamai (Linode), DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hetzner, or Proxmox in a few clicks. Attach any Ubuntu machine you already own as a custom server. Add sites built with PHP, Laravel, or WordPress, or run Node.js and Bun apps behind a reverse proxy. Pull code from GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, or Bitbucket. Set environment variables and HTTP basic authentication. Issue Let's Encrypt, wildcard, or custom SSL certificates. Create MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL databases, manage their users, and send backups to Amazon S3, Wasabi, FTP, SFTP, Dropbox, or local disk. Manage firewall rules, cron jobs, Supervisor workers, Redis, and multiple PHP versions from the same screens. Watch CPU, memory, and disk use for each server, then open a live SSH shell without leaving the page. Agencies split clients into projects, invite teammates as Admins or Users, and send alerts to Slack, Discord, Telegram, or email. Workflows automate deployments, backups, and maintenance. Plugins, DNS record management, export and import of your setup, and a REST API round out the toolkit. The panel itself needs only 1 GB of RAM and 1 CPU core, then manages your other machines over SSH. 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.

Tau delivers a complete self-hosted cloud platform where Git is the control plane and WebAssembly is the runtime. The Go binary deploys as interconnected nodes that form a P2P network using libp2p for automatic service discovery, eliminating Kubernetes entirely. Serverless functions compile to WebAssembly for secure multi-tenant execution with automatic horizontal scaling — write in Go, Rust, AssemblyScript, or C and deploy by pushing to Git. Branch-based environments map Git branches to isolated deployments, so staging and production run identical infrastructure from different refs. Static website hosting serves frontends with global distribution and automatic content-addressed deduplication via IPFS-derived storage. The built-in K/V database provides distributed storage with automatic replication across nodes, while object storage handles file management with content addressing. Pub/Sub messaging enables real-time communication between functions and external services including WebSocket support. Spore Drive automates multi-host deployment and rolling updates from a single command across bare metal or VMs running Ubuntu. The Dream CLI provides a complete local development environment that mirrors production exactly — same services, same routing, same deployment flow. Zero-configuration HTTPS provisions TLS certificates automatically for custom domains. The web console at console.taubyte.com provides visual project management, or use the tau CLI for Git-native workflows.
