CaddyUI

Providing an intuitive control plane for modern reverse proxy infrastructure, CaddyUI enables system administrators to manage proxy hosts, automated TLS certificates, and traffic routing without hand-editing configuration files. Operators can create and adjust reverse proxy destinations, URL path rewrites, custom headers, and redirection rules using structured forms that validate against the proxy engine before saving. The platform coordinates automatic ACME certificate requests and renewals, displaying live certificate expiration timelines, validation stages, and internal self-signed certificate authority options for local network services. Fleet management tools synchronize proxy rules across multiple distributed server instances, preventing configuration drift across staging and production clusters. Automated post-deployment health checks verify upstream endpoint availability, HTTP status codes, and latency thresholds, instantly rolling back to the previous configuration if an expectation fails. An integrated observability suite delivers real-time visitor traffic analytics, geographic maps, HTTP response code breakdowns, and single-click client IP blocking to counter malicious probing attempts. Administrators can schedule automated database backups, configure multi-user access with role permissions, and integrate CrowdSec threat intelligence to protect backends. 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.

UWAS

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.

CapRover

With over 15,000 GitHub stars and nearly nine years of active development, CapRover is the self-hosted PaaS that replaces Heroku's pricing with your own infrastructure while keeping the deploy-and-forget simplicity. The web dashboard manages application lifecycle from deploy through scaling — configure custom domains, environment variables, persistent volumes, instance counts, and nginx templates without touching config files or SSH. The CLI tool enables scriptable deployments with a single command from your terminal or CI/CD pipeline, while webhook-based deployment triggers automated builds from Git pushes. The one-click app marketplace provides over 100 pre-configured services including WordPress, Ghost, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Grafana, Portainer, and dozens more, each deployed as a Docker container with volumes and environment variables preconfigured. Automatic HTTPS provisions and renews Let's Encrypt certificates for every custom domain with one-click HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects. Under the hood, Docker Swarm orchestrates containers across multiple nodes for horizontal scaling and load balancing, while nginx handles routing with fully customizable EJS-generated configuration templates per application. Deployment supports four methods: CLI push, tarball upload through the web UI, Docker image reference, and Git repository connection. The build system supports Dockerfiles, captain-definition files with build packs, and direct Docker image pulls. NetData integration provides real-time server monitoring dashboards. 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.
