Fail2Ban quietly bans thousands of bots on a typical VPS and just as quietly keeps the whole story buried in a log file nobody reads, and Fail2Ban Report digs that story out into a dashboard you will actually open. Shell scripts convert each day of fail2ban.log into JSON, and the web interface lays every ban and unban on a searchable, filterable timeline you can slice by jail, server, or time window. Aggregated statistics for today, yesterday, seven days, and thirty days show which jails absorb the most attacks, while markers flag repeat offenders and escalating ban counts so persistent scanners stand out from one-time noise. Blocklists live per jail and per server as plain JSON, and ban or unban actions execute through UFW, giving you permanent bans that survive independently of jail restarts. Bulk actions handle whole ranges at once, with a pending state until the next sync applies them. Multiple servers feed one console through a pull-based HTTPS endpoint, so a fleet of small machines reports to a single pane without exposing SSH. Optional AbuseIPDB and IP-Info lookups add reputation and region context to any address.

KrakenD processes over 18,000 requests per second on a single instance while consuming under 50MB of RAM at 1,000 concurrent connections, operating as a stateless API gateway that requires no database whatsoever. The Community Edition has earned over 2,600 GitHub stars by outperforming database-dependent alternatives like Kong and Tyk in independent benchmarks. Written entirely in Go, it uses declarative JSON or YAML configuration files that integrate directly into GitOps workflows for version-controlled infrastructure management. The gateway aggregates responses from multiple backend services into a single API call, transforms request and response payloads with field filtering, grouping, and mapping, and applies zero-trust security policies including JWT validation, OAuth 2.0, CORS, HSTS, clickjacking protection, and XSS prevention. Traffic management features include multi-layer rate limiting at both the router and proxy levels, circuit breakers for backend fault isolation, spike arrest policies, and concurrent call support that requests the same data from multiple backends in parallel for improved response times. Telemetry integrates with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana dashboards, Datadog, Zipkin, and Jaeger for distributed tracing and metrics collection. The gateway extends through Go plugins, Lua scripting, Martian modifiers, and Google CEL expressions for custom request processing logic. AI workload routing supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and other model endpoints with built-in fallback, retries, and load balancing. Deploy via Docker with the devopsfaith/krakend image as a single binary. 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.

Security-conscious IT departments pick Passbolt for its cryptography: every user holds an OpenPGP key pair, and shared credentials are encrypted individually to each recipient's public key - real end-to-end encryption, not a vault password handed around. All crypto runs client-side in the mandatory browser extension (distributed and signed through the Chrome and Firefox stores, deliberately separating the crypto code from the server that stores ciphertext); private keys and passphrases never touch your instance, and the server admin cannot read a single secret. Authentication uses the challenge-based GpgAuth protocol, secrets are digitally signed to verify sender integrity, and metadata encryption extends protection to resource names and URLs. Day to day it behaves like a polished commercial manager: auto-fill and auto-save in forms, strong password generation, anti-phishing protection, TOTP storage, folder hierarchies shared per-user or per-group with fine-grained permissions and instant cryptographic revocation. Native iOS, Android, and desktop apps ship alongside a JSON API, CLI, and SDKs for CI/CD secret retrieval and rotation. The PHP server runs on MariaDB and is AGPL-licensed open source - including the paid tiers' codebase - with published security audits.

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.

Encrypted, incremental, compressed backups on storage you already have - Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Google Drive, Azure, OneDrive, Dropbox, MEGA, Storj, WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, SMB, or a plain local disk - is what the MIT-licensed Duplicati has quietly done for years. Its security model is Trust No One: every block is encrypted with AES-256 (or a local GPG instance) before leaving the machine, and the passphrase never travels, so the storage provider holds only ciphertext. The block-based storage engine gives the best of both backup worlds: after one initial full backup, only changed data blocks upload - modify a tiny part of a huge file and only that part transfers - yet every backup version restores like a full backup in a single operation, with no incremental chains to replay. Deduplication and compression keep remote storage growth slow even across years of versions. A web interface manages everything: the built-in scheduler keeps backups current automatically, flexible filters select folders, file types, or custom patterns, retention policies prune old versions, and an integrated updater flags new releases. On compatible object-lock backends, immutable (WORM) storage protects backup data from ransomware that reaches the credentials. Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, free even for commercial use.

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. Deploy 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 13,000 GitHub stars and active monthly releases, Mailcow delivers a production-ready mail server infrastructure through Docker Compose orchestration of twelve integrated containers. The stack pairs Postfix as the MTA handling SMTP traffic with Dovecot for IMAP and POP3 retrieval featuring the Flatcurve full-text search engine, while Rspamd provides machine-learning-powered spam filtering with Bayesian classification, DKIM signing, and ARC support. ClamAV scans attachments for malware including Office document macro analysis via Olefy, and SOGo serves as a responsive webmail client with CalDAV, CardDAV, and Microsoft ActiveSync synchronization. The admin panel manages multiple domains, per-user spam score thresholds, quarantine review, black and whitelists, temporary spam aliases, mailbox quotas, and TLS enforcement policies for both inbound and outbound messages. Security features include two-factor authentication via TOTP, WebAuthn, and Yubikey OTP, a Fail2ban-like Netfilter integration for brute-force protection, and automatic SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration. The ACME container handles Let's Encrypt certificate generation with DNS-01 challenge support, while Postfix TLS-Pol provides MTA-STS and DANE/TLSA resolution for encrypted transport. Built-in imapsync enables periodic migration from remote mailboxes, and the REST API allows programmatic management of all server resources. MariaDB stores user data, Redis caches configuration and sessions, and Unbound provides local DNSSEC-validating DNS resolution. 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.

Cerbos decouples authorization logic from application code entirely, evaluating human-readable YAML policies in under one millisecond through a stateless Policy Decision Point that requires no application state synchronization or cross-network fan-out. Its custom decision engine benchmarks up to 17x faster than OPA-based alternatives. Access control policies use conditions expressed in Google's Common Expression Language, supporting role-based, attribute-based, and policy-based access control patterns including derived roles, scoped policies, and permissions-aware data filtering that pushes authorization predicates directly into database queries. The PDP exposes both gRPC and HTTP APIs with SDKs for JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, .NET, Rust, PHP, and Ruby, making integration a single function call regardless of tech stack. GitOps-native workflows treat policies as code with Git versioning, CI validation through GitHub Actions, coverage reports, breaking-change detection, and audit logs of every authorization decision for ISO27001, SOC2, and HIPAA compliance. Deployment flexibility spans Kubernetes sidecars, standalone services, systemd daemons, AWS Lambda functions, and WebAssembly-embedded PDPs that run authorization logic directly in browsers, serverless architectures, and edge devices. The Admin API manages policy lifecycle operations programmatically, while the built-in Playground and REPL provide interactive testing environments for policy authoring and debugging. 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.

Pingvin Share X is your own WeTransfer, running on your server, with none of the transfer limits or expiring-link anxiety of the free tiers. Drop in a file of any size, get a link, and decide exactly how it behaves: an expiration date after which it vanishes, a password gate, a cap on how many visitors may open it, or all three. Email the link straight to recipients from the share dialog, and get notified when they download. Reverse shares flip the flow around: send someone a link and they upload files to you through it, which is perfect for collecting client deliverables, application documents, or the family photo archive without a single email attachment thread. Attachments can be scanned with ClamAV before anyone touches them, and storage lives on your disks or in S3-compatible buckets. Accounts connect through OIDC or LDAP single sign-on for teams, and an extensive admin panel tunes everything from password policy to upload chunk sizes. Registration rules decide whether your instance is a private family tool or an open drop point for your whole crew. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. BSD-2-Clause licensed.

TLSPROXY puts automatic Let's Encrypt TLS in front of every service on your server, so many names can share one port while each backend gets exactly the encryption treatment it needs. Terminate TLS and hand plain text to a local service. Pass raw TLS straight through when the proxy should see nothing. Or terminate and re-encrypt towards a TLS backend, with client certificates checked on the way in. QUIC and HTTP/3 connections terminate here too, and Encrypted Client Hello keeps even the handshake private. Certificates arrive and renew by themselves through http-01 and tls-alpn-01 challenges, PROXY protocol headers preserve real client addresses, and SNI routing with round-robin balancing spreads names across backends. People get in with OpenID Connect, SAML, or passkeys; the same sign-in can mint short-lived SSH user certificates, and built-in certificate authorities manage client and backend credentials for you. Static sites can be served straight from disk, TPM-backed keys keep private material in hardware, and a built-in console shows what the proxy is doing. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

3X-UI is the most popular open-source Xray management panel, providing a full-featured web interface for deploying and monitoring proxy and VPN protocols on Linux servers. The Go backend manages Xray-core instances supporting VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, WireGuard, Hysteria2, HTTP, SOCKS, Dokodemo-door, and TUN inbounds across TCP, mKCP, WebSocket, gRPC, HTTPUpgrade, and XHTTP transports secured with TLS, XTLS Vision, and REALITY. The Clients page tracks each user with individual traffic quotas, expiration dates, concurrent connection limits, and live online status indicators, while one-click share links, QR codes, and a built-in subscription server distribute configurations in multiple output formats. The multi-node architecture manages and scales deployments across multiple servers from a single panel instance. The Panel Settings page configures listen address, port, URI path, session duration, trusted proxy CIDRs, authentication, and Telegram bot integration for remote monitoring and management alerts. Outbound routing supports WARP, NordVPN, custom rules, load balancers, and proxy chaining. Xray Configs provides template-level control over the core configuration, while the API Docs page exposes a complete RESTful API with in-panel Swagger documentation. Data persists in SQLite by default or PostgreSQL for larger deployments, with database export and import from the panel. Fail2ban integration enforces per-client IP limits. On RepoCloud, deploy 3X-UI on a dedicated VPS with Docker, root SSH access, and complete control over your proxy infrastructure, all under the GPL-3.0 license.

The Bitwarden server, reimplemented in Rust: Vaultwarden (formerly bitwarden_rs) is the unofficial lightweight edition. It speaks the same wire protocol as the official server, so every official Bitwarden client - browser extensions, iOS, Android, desktop, and the bw CLI - connects without modification, while the server itself runs as a single container against SQLite (or MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL) instead of the official multi-container stack that wants gigabytes of RAM. Features Bitwarden gates behind paid tiers ship free: organizations with collections, groups, member roles, and policies; TOTP code storage; file attachments; Bitwarden Send; Emergency Access; event logs; and admin password reset. Two-factor options cover authenticator apps, email, FIDO2 WebAuthn, YubiKey, and Duo, and OIDC-based SSO landed natively in v1.35.0. Zero-knowledge encryption is unchanged - vault data is encrypted client-side and the master password never reaches the server. Attachments and Sends store on local disk or S3-compatible backends, an admin panel manages users and server settings, and backup is copying one data directory. Suited to individuals and teams up to roughly 50 users.

Merge, split, compress, convert, edit, annotate, redact, OCR, and sign PDFs - BentoPDF packs over 130 tools into a privacy-first toolkit that runs entirely in the browser through WebAssembly. Files are never uploaded - processing happens in browser memory on the user's machine and disappears when the tab closes, which makes the tool GDPR-clean by architecture and safe for financial, legal, and internal documents. The engine combines WASM builds of PyMuPDF, Ghostscript, and CoherentPDF; Tesseract handles OCR with searchable text-layer output; Office conversions cover Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; and digital signatures use X.509 certificates (PFX/PEM) with the private key staying on the client. Because there is no server-side processing, deployment is a static-file exercise: a single Docker container, or any static host. A dedicated self-hosted build strips the marketing pages while keeping every tool, and air-gapped deployments are first-class - an automated script bundles the WASM modules, OCR language data, and fonts for fully offline networks. No accounts, no limits, no watermarks; TypeScript and Vite under the hood.

Originated as Alibaba Group's official internal AI code review assistant serving tens of thousands of developers and identifying millions of code defects over two years before open-sourcing in May 2026 — now at 21,000+ GitHub stars — Open Code Review is the production-hardened platform that proves enterprise-grade code review can be fully open-source under Apache 2.0. The hybrid architecture separates deterministic engineering pipelines (file selection, diff parsing, rule matching for NPE, thread-safety, XSS, and SQL injection across 10+ languages) from LLM-powered agent reasoning with tool-use capabilities including FileRead, CodeSearch, and cross-file context inspection, consuming approximately one-ninth the tokens of general-purpose coding agents while delivering line-level precise comments with severity and confidence scoring. The bundled web dashboard (port 4173) provides review management, findings triage, result browsing, and direct GitHub posting without external dependencies, while the session viewer (port 5483) renders full LLM request/response traces for debugging and auditing. Integration spans GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, GitFlic CI, and Gerrit with delegation mode enabling Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI agents to leverage OCR's engineering logic alongside their own LLM reasoning. Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, DeepSeek via built-in providers plus Ollama and vLLM for air-gapped deployments. 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.

Matrix's flagship client, built by the protocol's creators: Element brings the decentralized open standard for real-time communication to web, desktop, iOS, and Android. Paired with a Matrix homeserver, it delivers Slack-quality team messaging where you own every message, file, encryption key, and byte of metadata. End-to-end encryption is on by default, built on Olm and Megolm - the Double Ratchet algorithm family Signal popularized, extended for large-room scalability and publicly audited by NCC Group. Messages encrypt per-device with cross-signed device verification, so even a compromised server yields nothing readable. Federation is the defining capability: like email, users on different homeservers converse seamlessly, and 30+ bridges connect Matrix rooms to Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, and Telegram, so moving to sovereign infrastructure doesn't sever contact with anyone. Rooms support threads, reactions, file sharing, and voice and video calls via Element Call. The result is digital sovereignty chosen by governments and enterprises across Europe: your data sits on your server in your jurisdiction, portable to any other Matrix host because the protocol is an open standard. Apache-2.0 licensed, with no per-user fees at any scale.

With over 24,000 GitHub stars and a rapidly growing community of self-hosters, authentik delivers enterprise-grade identity management that replaces commercial solutions like Okta and Auth0 with a fully self-hosted platform requiring no per-user licensing fees. The platform serves as a unified identity provider supporting SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, LDAP for legacy application compatibility, SCIM 2.0 for automated user provisioning, and RADIUS for network device authentication. The visual flow designer enables administrators to create custom authentication workflows combining password verification, multi-factor authentication with TOTP, WebAuthn, and SMS codes, email verification, captcha challenges, and conditional logic based on user attributes or device context. The forward-auth and reverse proxy integration works seamlessly with Traefik, Nginx, Caddy, and Envoy to protect applications that lack built-in authentication. User enrollment flows support self-registration with configurable approval workflows, invitation links, and automatic group assignment. The LDAP outpost exposes user and group data to legacy applications requiring LDAP bind authentication, while the SCIM provider automates user lifecycle management with downstream applications. Multi-tenancy support through brands allows a single authentik instance to serve multiple organizations with independent domains, branding, and authentication policies. The admin interface provides comprehensive user management, group hierarchy, application catalog, event logging with GeoIP enrichment, and system health monitoring. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Licensed under a source-available license with an open-source community edition.

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.

A secure drop box for tips and misconduct reports, GlobaLeaks lets organizations, newsrooms, and public institutions receive anonymous submissions and reply to the people behind them. Whistleblowers answer a questionnaire, attach files, and leave with a unique 16-digit receipt that reopens their report later for replies, comments, and the choice of whether and when to reveal their identity. Administrators build the intake form with a questionnaire builder, route reports through channels by topic or department, and host several branded whistleblowing sites from one installation in more than 90 languages. Recipients triage in a searchable inbox with labels, reminders, and customizable case statuses. Analysts, custodians, and administrators get separate roles, and the custodian role can gate access to a reporter's identity. Reports and messages are encrypted, an automatic Tor onion service gives whistleblowers an anonymous way in, two-factor authentication protects staff logins, and PGP secures email notifications. Audit logs track staff actions, and retention rules expire old reports to support GDPR duties and EU Directive 2019/1937 workflows. 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.
