A curated list of free and open-source sysadmin resources, organized into categories like automation, backups, monitoring, identity management, and DNS. It is maintained as an awesome-list with both Markdown and HTML versions and actively checks for dead and unmaintained links.
Use cases
- find open-source tools for server administration
- discover self-hosted alternatives for sysadmin tasks
- compare backup and monitoring software options
- find LDAP and SSO identity management tools
- look up CI/CD and configuration management tools
- find DNS server and control panel software
When to choose
- you want a curated, categorized directory of open-source sysadmin software
- you are evaluating self-hosted tools for infrastructure operations
- you need inspiration for a DevOps or SRE toolchain
When to avoid
- you need a runnable tool rather than a list of links
- you want in-depth tutorials or documentation instead of a catalog
- you need commercial or proprietary software recommendations
