coolify
An open-source, self-hostable PaaS alternative to Vercel, Heroku & Netlify that lets you easily deploy static sites, databases, full-stack applications and 280+ one-click services on your own servers.
Install Coolify (free, open source) on a VPS and deploy Memos from its catalog. You get a web UI and auto-updates, but Coolify itself wants ~2 GB of RAM, which is heavier than the app it is managing. Worth it only if you are already running Coolify for other apps.

We hit this last week on a blog index running 12.44.0. The page returned HTTP 500 for every visitor for three weeks before anyone noticed. There is a public issue with the same symptom against 12.20+: laravel/framework#56248.

filament
A powerful open-source UI framework for Laravel • Build and ship apps & admin panels fast with Livewire
In a life of everybody should be the moment, the time to separate from the parents. Laravel's Shroomok reached that stage in 12 months or so. Bottle-neck was the absence of nice admin dashboard focused on text-content edits. I mean, of course, there were solutions, but I didn't feel right about them until the King was found -- Filament!

I'm working on Freundebuch, a personal CRM.
I'm a long-time user of Monica (https://github.com/monicahq/monica/) but was unhappy that not much was happening. There is Chandler which is the next-gen version of Monica, but it has taken a direction which I don't like, as it is geared more to journaling. The thing that moved me to implement something myself was that the carddav interface duplicated the contacts in my address book.
I required a tool where I can put my contacts with all their details and also map out their relationships and put those details in my phones address book.
I'm dog fooding it already for as long as it was working, and I'm delighted with it.
I'm happy to hear feedback.

The good news is, Laravel gives you great tools to spot this problem. The most popular one is the Laravel Debugbar package. Install it, and suddenly a handy bar appears at the bottom of your browser window showing all sorts of metrics. Crucially, it tells you exactly how many database queries ran for that page.

Koel has the most visually polished web interface of any self-hosted music server. Built with Vue.js, it looks and feels like a modern streaming service — album art grids, smooth transitions, a built-in equalizer, and a visualizer. If you primarily listen to music from a browser and want the experience to feel like Spotify, Koel delivers.

Lots of criticism here but feels like a community that would have been better served by spinning up a forum server or something along those lines. These are pretty easy to get going. Cheers!

sage
WordPress starter theme with Laravel Blade components and templates, Tailwind CSS, and block editor support

✅ Use FilamentUser to control access to the admin panel ✅ Use Laravel policies for clean, scalable access control ✅ For role-based systems, consider Filament Shield Plugin or Spatie Laravel Permission (my favorites) ✅ Mind the guards, soft deletes, and policy naming
