  5. jumpserver

    JumpServer is an open-source Privileged Access Management (PAM) tool that provides DevOps and IT teams with on-demand and secure access to SSH, RDP, Kubernetes, Database and RemoteApp endpoints through a web browser.

    Try JumpServer:

    https://github.com/jumpserver/jumpserver

    Its an open-source PAM solution

    We're not using it in-house (we're actually using teleport), and I haven't tried it, but I've heard many good things about it

  6. paperless-ngx

  8. Installation

    The premier source of truth powering network automation. Open source under Apache 2. Try NetBox Cloud free: https://netboxlabs.com/free-netbox-cloud/

    Project mention: So You Want to Build Your Own Data Center | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-17

    Look at the issue list...that is why.

    https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues?q=is%3Aiss...

    Note how they want to be "NetBox functions as the source of truth for your network infrastructure."

    Your individual situation dictates what is important, but had netbox targeted being a central repository vs insisting on not allow other systems to be truthful for certain items it could be a different story.

    We have learned that trying to centralize complexity and control doesn't work, heck we knew that almost immediately after the Clinger Cohen Act passed and even ITIL and TOGAF fully call this out now and I expect this to be targeted by consultants over the next few years.

    You need a central constant way to find state, to remove any questions or doubt regarding where to find the authoritative information, but generally if you aspire to scale and grow or adapt to new changes you really need to avoid having some centralized, god-box, and prescriptive system like this.

  14. awesome-django

    A curated list of awesome things related to Django

    Project mention: What Does a Developer Advocate Do? | dev.to | 2025-02-27

    Open Source: I'm excited at the prospect of contributing directly to Django, since JetBrains are big contributors in both dollars and time, to the Python community.

And I continue to maintain the awesome-django repo and the lithium Django starter project.

    Later we may want to incorporate django-allauth in the project, but we want to keep it simple and have something up and running soon, so let's just create an app called core, create a UserProfile class inheriting from AbstractUser, and set our project to use this class as its authentication model.

  23. Weblate

    Web based localization tool with tight version control integration.

    Project mention: Continuous Translation with .NET Framework | dev.to | 2025-01-09

    Localization is challenging because it requires synchronisation between the product and developer teams. Many solutions exist to provide online localisation services supporting various input formats such as GNU gettext and ResX files. But a strong requirement, the code should not leave the company’s premises, removed almost all available solutions. Not to mention that they were also quite expensive. Weblate on the other hand combines the advantages of being free and self-hosted. The code would not have to leave the premises, and support is affordable.
