With over 57,000 GitHub stars and deployment across thousands of organizations worldwide, Gitea is the most popular self-hosted Git service, delivering a complete software development platform in a single Go binary that runs on as little as 512MB of RAM. The platform provides full repository management with pull requests featuring inline code review, branch protection rules, merge strategies including squash, rebase, and merge commit, and automated status checks through Gitea Actions. The built-in CI/CD system uses the same YAML workflow syntax as GitHub Actions and can directly reuse over 20,000 existing Actions plugins, allowing teams to migrate from GitHub with minimal pipeline rewrites using the open-source act_runner executor. The integrated package registry supports over 20 formats including npm, PyPI, Maven, NuGet, Cargo, Helm, Composer, Conda, RubyGems, Pub, and an OCI-compatible Container registry for Docker images with no additional configuration required. Project management features include issue tracking with labels, milestones, dependencies, and time tracking, alongside kanban project boards for visual workflow management. Gitea supports LFS for large file storage, built-in wiki pages per repository, webhook integrations with Slack, Discord, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, and custom HTTP endpoints, and OAuth2 authentication with LDAP, SAML, and PAM backend support. Repository mirroring enables bidirectional synchronization with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, while the comprehensive REST and GraphQL APIs power external integrations and the official tea CLI tool.

FireShare turns a folder of game captures on your server into a browsable library where every clip gets its own permanent link, ready to paste into Discord the moment something worth bragging about happens. Point it at the directories you already record to and it scans what is there: the file people watch is always your untouched original, in MP4, WebM, or MOV, never a recompressed stand-in. Privacy is set per file, public for the feed, link-only for friends, or behind a password, and whole folders can be shared as a single link. It also sorts the chaos for you, detecting the game in each capture and shelving hundreds of timestamped filenames under proper cover art you can search and browse. Trim the dead air off a clip before posting it, add a title, description, tags, and a custom thumbnail, and watch the view count climb. For screens that struggle with huge originals, optional transcoding adds adaptive lower qualities on CPU or an NVIDIA GPU, and HDR captures get tone-mapped to SDR instead of looking washed out. Friends can upload through the browser or by token from scripts, new public clips can announce themselves to Discord or an RSS reader, and accounts come with permissions, profiles, and two-factor sign-in.

Runtipi makes any Linux server a personal app platform where installing services like Plex, Nextcloud, or Home Assistant takes a single click from a curated store of 265+ applications. With 9,500+ GitHub stars and 50 contributors, the React frontend backed by NestJS orchestrates Docker Compose projects for each installed app, automatically generating environment files, compose configurations, and Traefik reverse proxy labels for domain routing and SSL certificate provisioning via Let's Encrypt. The integrated Traefik reverse proxy handles all incoming traffic routing, HTTPS termination, and forward-auth protection for securing applications behind Runtipi's authentication layer without manual configuration. One-click updates notify administrators of new app versions and apply container image upgrades with automatic pre-update backup creation, while the restore feature rolls back application data to any saved snapshot. Custom app stores extend the ecosystem through Git repositories following the Runtipi app definition format, enabling organizations and communities to maintain private catalogs alongside the official store. The Docker Compose override system preserves user customizations across updates, allowing advanced modifications without losing changes. Architecture-aware filtering detects ARM64 or x86 platforms and displays only compatible applications. All apps deploy as standard Docker containers, and compose files can be exported for independent operation without lock-in.

Modoboa turns a bare mail server into a managed hosting platform, with one web console for domains, mailboxes, aliases, and quotas, plus a full webmail for the people using them. Roles separate super administrators, resellers, domain administrators, and ordinary users, with caps on how many mailboxes and aliases each administrator may create and daily sending limits per domain or mailbox. The webmail offers conversation view, folder subscriptions, scheduled sending, attachments, and search across headers and message bodies. Calendars and address books sync with standard clients, and calendars can be shared. Each user writes Sieve filters and autoreplies in the browser. Deliverability checks cover MX records and DNSBL listings, DKIM keys are generated per domain, and DMARC aggregate reports become per-domain visual reports. Amavis quarantine pages and an Rspamd frontend help with spam. Traffic graphs show message volume. Accounts authenticate against the local database, LDAP, Active Directory, or an existing SMTP server, with TOTP codes or WebAuthn security keys as a second factor. Thunderbird and Outlook configure themselves through built-in autoconfig and autodiscover endpoints. An IMAP migration tool pulls mailboxes from another provider as each person signs in. Administrators can brand the console with custom logos, extend it through plugins, and automate it through a documented REST API.

Hosting finished documentation for many projects at once, Docat leaves every uploaded version online for the readers still on version 2. Zip the static HTML that MkDocs, Sphinx, or mdBook produced. Send it to a project and version with curl or the docatl command line client. Tag the newest build as latest, and links get a stable address. Readers land on a home page that opens on starred favourites. A search box narrows the list, and its queries can be shared as links. Instance statistics report documents, versions, and storage. Inside any docs page, a version dropdown with a latest label moves between releases. Uploads are open at first. Claim a project and it returns a token that must accompany every later version upload or deletion. The same token hides versions from the dropdown and from search, and each project can carry its own icon. Operators can mount a small config file for custom header and footer HTML, raise the 100 MB default archive limit with an environment variable, and put nginx basic authentication in front of the write endpoints. Swagger UI and ReDoc pages at /api/docs and /api/redoc document the HTTP API for pipeline authors.

Build your own image and video sharing site, with public galleries, private albums, and embeddable links, on a server you control. Uploads arrive by drag and drop, clipboard paste, image URL, camera, ShareX, or API, in AVIF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, MOV, MP4, and WebM, and chunked transfers handle large files. Lossless JPEG handling fixes orientation and can strip EXIF data. Duplicate detection catches repeat uploads. Tags are created on the fly with autocomplete, camera models become tags automatically, and albums nest into sub-albums with covers, privacy levels, and passwords. Categories, search, and explore views help visitors find things; a bulk importer brings in folders of existing media. Each file gets viewer, direct, thumbnail, and medium links plus HTML, Markdown, and BBCode snippets with one-click copy, and oEmbed lets other sites preview a link. Roles split admin, manager, and user duties, profiles can be private, and two-factor authentication protects accounts. Files sit on local disk or S3-compatible storage, optionally served through a CDN URL. A dashboard tracks usage, color palettes and custom CSS and JavaScript restyle the site, and a single-profile mode suits a personal portfolio.

Stormkit delivers a self-hostable PaaS that eliminates vendor lock-in while providing Vercel-class deployment workflows. The Go backend handles build orchestration, hosting, and background job processing while the React frontend provides a complete management dashboard for applications, environments, and team collaboration. Git integration with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket enables push-to-deploy workflows where every commit triggers automated builds with preview links posted directly to pull requests. Serverless functions use filesystem-based routing — each TypeScript or Node.js file in the API directory becomes an endpoint automatically, deploying to AWS Lambda with configurable timeouts. PostgreSQL database schemas ship with automatic migrations, isolated credentials per environment, and secure environment variable injection preventing credential leakage between staging and production. Custom domains provision TLS certificates automatically through Let's Encrypt with support for custom certificates and headers. The environment system creates isolated deployment contexts for production, staging, and development with independent variables, domain bindings, and auto-publish rules per branch. Privacy-respecting server-side analytics track visitors, referrers, and top paths without client cookies or third-party scripts. Role-based access control manages team permissions across applications. Docker Compose deployment provisions the full stack including the API server, hosting service, build runner, and worker server.

Every podcast you publish through Castopod automatically becomes a Fediverse social account that Mastodon, Pleroma, and Pixelfed users can follow, boost, and comment on from their own timelines. This ActivityPub integration transforms podcast distribution from a one-way broadcast into a two-way conversation where listeners interact with episodes through the social platforms they already use. Beyond federation, the platform manages the complete lifecycle: upload an episode, and auto-generated RSS feeds distribute it to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Deezer, Podcast Addict, and every compatible directory. IABv2-compliant analytics measure downloads, geographic distribution, and listening apps while maintaining GDPR, CCPA, and LGPD compliance through anonymized data collection. Podcasting 2.0 namespace support unlocks chapters with images, SRT/VTT transcripts, location tags, and person credits that modern podcast apps surface to listeners. Video episodes publish alongside audio, and auto-generated clips feed social media sharing workflows. Monetization tools span Value4Value micropayments, premium subscriptions, funding links, and cookieless advertising. Multi-user roles operate per-podcast: contributors, editors, and admins each work within defined permission boundaries. The PHP application runs behind nginx with MariaDB and Redis on a RepoCloud VPS with dedicated CPU, RAM, and SSD. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

One 18 MB Go binary does the job of Apache, Nginx, Varnish, Caddy, and cPanel combined. Point UWAS at your /var/www directory and it auto-detects sites, provisions Let's Encrypt certificates, enables HTTP/3 via QUIC, and activates a two-tier caching engine with L1 memory shards and L2 disk storage, all before you write a single line of configuration. The React 19 admin dashboard provides 42 management pages for domains, PHP versions, databases, cron jobs, DNS records, file management, backup and restore, SFTP users, and uptime monitoring with real-time SSE updates. PHP sites run through FastCGI with connection pooling and full .htaccess compatibility, so WordPress, Laravel, and legacy applications work without migration effort. The built-in WAF catches SQL injection, XSS, path traversal, and shell exploits, while per-domain rate limiting and bandwidth caps protect against abuse. Reverse proxy mode supports five load balancing algorithms, circuit breakers, canary deployments, and mirroring for blue-green rollouts. Git deploy clones your repository, runs the build, checks health, and restarts the service with rollback on failure. An MCP server lets AI agents manage domains, cache, and deployments through natural language. The Nginx and Apache migration CLI converts existing configurations to UWAS format automatically.

Your entire mail system can live in one self-hosted suite with OpenMail, from SMTP, IMAP, and POP3 delivery to three-pane webmail and the admin console that runs it. Standard clients such as Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and phone apps connect over SMTP ports 25, 587, and 465, IMAP ports 143 and 993, and POP3 ports 110 and 995, while people use the three-pane webmail with folder tree, conversation list, and reading pane at port 3000. You read, write, reply, forward, batch-organize, drag messages between folders, filter stars, search sender, subject, and body text, and follow conversations threaded automatically by their References headers. The rich-text composer autocompletes recipients, accepts dragged attachments and pasted screenshots, saves drafts every 12 seconds, sends on a schedule, and inserts reusable templates imported from HTML or generated with AI. Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint can draft replies, translate mail into twelve languages, and summarize messages, with provider keys encrypted on your server. Administrators get real-time mail statistics with 14-day send and receive trends, user quotas and bans, multi-domain aliases and catch-all addresses, outgoing queue visibility, and audit logs. Adding a domain generates DKIM keys and copy-ready SPF, DKIM, and DMARC DNS records with one-click checks, while rule-based spam scoring, TOTP two-factor authentication, and role-based permissions protect accounts in ten interface languages including right-to-left Arabic and Urdu.

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.
