Portainer Landing Page

Portainer

Simple management UI for Docker
Pricing:
- Open Source
I’ve been using Portainer for quite some time, and its widespread adoption in both homelab and professional environments makes it an excellent tool for learning through practical application. In my view, it stands out as the most stable web-managed container control interface available. It integrates seamlessly with Docker, Kubernetes, and even Podman. Portainer offers an open-source community edition and an enterprise version with additional features, where you can obtain three licenses for free.

Dockge

A fancy, easy-to-use and reactive self-hosted docker compose.yaml stack-oriented manager.

Dockge is relatively new and created by the developer behind Uptime Kuma, which is a fantastic tool. Although it hasn’t yet reached the maturity of Portainer, Dockge truly excels in its simplicity. It’s also regularly updated, and the developer is prompt in addressing issues on GitHub.

Caddy Landing Page

Caddy

The HTTP/2 Web Server with Automatic HTTPS
Pricing:
- Open Source
If you’re looking to forego fancy web interfaces and prefer editing a straightforward file while having the server manage everything from proxying to HTTPS via Let’s Encrypt, then this is the option for you. However, due to the absence of a web interface, I wouldn’t recommend it for complete beginners. But if you appreciate simple UNIX-based tooling, Caddy is an excellent choice.

CrowdSec Landing Page

CrowdSec

CrowdSec is a security automation engine, using both local IP behavior detection & our community-driven IP reputation database.
Pricing:
- Open Source
This is a fresh and innovative solution that seamlessly combines a VPN and reverse proxy into one easy-to-deploy package. It’s like having a self-hosted version of Cloudflare. All you need is a VPS or similar setup to host the ingress server, and you can add a VPN client to any environment running your applications. It even includes Crowdsec integration and basic SSO capabilities. In fact, writing this post was motivated by my enthusiasm to discuss this software. I believe it’s truly impressive and, given time, it could well become a new standard in place of existing solutions.
