certimate
An open-source and free self-hosted SSL certificates ACME tool, automates the full-cycle of issuance, deployment, renewal, and monitoring visually. 完全开源免费的自托管 SSL 证书 ACME 工具，申请、部署、续期、监控全流程自动化可视化，支持各大主流云厂商。
Project mention: Choosing an SSL certificate automation tool: acme.sh, Certimate, AWS ACM or a hosted service | dev.to | 2026-10-07Certimate is a self-hosted certificate dashboard, MIT-licensed and free. It runs as a single binary or Docker container, and you set up issuance and deployment in a web UI. It covers far more cloud services than acme.sh hooks, including AWS, Kubernetes, CDNs, WAFs and load balancers. Windows and IIS shops tend to use Certify The Web instead.

No structured alerting. The pipeline either passes or fails. There's no "these 3 resources drifted" — just a wall of plan text in a CI log. Drift detection is the most requested Atlantis feature, and how to even trigger it is a recurring question — because CI-based approaches are fundamentally awkward.

Project mention: My homelab stack in 2026: what runs, why, and how it all connects | dev.to | 2026-06-20
Woodpecker CI is the pipeline runner, hooked directly into Gitea webhooks. Push to a branch, a pipeline runs. The config lives as a .woodpecker.yml at the repo root, which means pipeline definitions are versioned alongside the code. Woodpecker builds Docker images and pushes them to a local registry on the same host.

testcontainers-go
Testcontainers for Go is a Go package that makes it simple to create and clean up container-based dependencies for automated integration/smoke tests. The clean, easy-to-use API enables developers to programmatically define containers that should be run as part of a test and clean up those resources when the test is done.
