Lightweight self-hosted CI/CD engine for the Gitea stack

Woodpecker CI is a community-maintained open-source CI/CD engine forked from Drone CI, designed as the default continuous integration solution for self-hosted Git platforms like Gitea, Forgejo, and Codeberg. With simple YAML pipeline configuration, minimal resource usage (~100MB RAM), and Apache-2.0 licensing, it provides a lightweight alternative to Jenkins and GitHub Actions for developers who prefer infrastructure they control.

Desktop hub for managing all your server connections

XPipe is an open-source desktop application that centralizes access to your entire server infrastructure through a unified interface. It connects to remote systems via SSH, Docker containers, Kubernetes clusters, LXC, and virtual machines — eliminating context switching between multiple terminal sessions and infrastructure tools without requiring any remote-side setup or installation.

Open-source identity management with built-in multi-tenancy

ZITADEL is an open-source identity and access management platform that handles authentication, authorization, and user management for B2B and B2C applications. It supports OIDC, SAML, OAuth 2.0, Passkeys, MFA, and passwordless login out of the box. Built with multi-tenancy as a core feature, ZITADEL lets you manage multiple organizations with delegated admin access, custom branding, and isolated identity stores—all from a single deployment.

Sandbox any command with file, network, and credential controls

Zerobox is a security-focused command sandboxing tool that isolates command execution with fine-grained controls over file system access, network connectivity, and credential exposure. It wraps any shell command in a secure container that enforces policy restrictions, preventing unauthorized file reads, network calls, or environment variable leaks during execution.

One-command local coding agent that auto-detects your hardware and picks the best model

hf-agents is a Hugging Face CLI extension that detects your hardware, recommends the best GGUF model using llmfit, and launches a local coding agent in a single command. It collapses the multi-step local LLM setup into hf agents run pi, automatically handling hardware profiling, model download, inference server startup, and coding agent activation.

Git-like version control for data lakes and object storage

lakeFS is an open-source platform that brings Git-like branching, committing, and merging to data lakes and object storage. It works on top of S3, GCS, Azure Blob, and MinIO, enabling teams to create isolated data branches for experimentation, run CI/CD for data pipelines, and maintain full data lineage. Acquired DVC in 2025, uniting data version control for both small and enterprise-scale workloads.

Hot-swap between local LLM models via OpenAI-compatible API

llama-swap is an open-source tool that manages multiple local LLM models behind a single OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. It automatically loads and unloads models on demand, letting developers hot-swap between different models without restarting services. With 3.1K+ GitHub stars, it solves the common pain point of running multiple specialized models on limited hardware.
