Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Docker-OSX

    Run macOS VM in a Docker! Run near native OSX-KVM in Docker! X11 Forwarding! CI/CD for OS X Security Research! Docker mac Containers.

  • This is what you want, forget Proxmox. This is simple to set up and will give you the dev environment you need I believe. https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX

  • jolt

    The social hub for your media server. Rate, review and recommend movies and shows, as well as manage your watchlist, follow friends and more. (by Dan6erbond)

  • Combined with GolangCI-Lint, a project I'm working on right now called Jolt makes sure errors are handled, pointers are used correctly, variable naming is following all the conventions and a bunch of more stuff. Setting up a toolchain like this in Python would be a huge pain.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Calibre Web

    :books: Web app for browsing, reading and downloading eBooks stored in a Calibre database

  • What about support for Calibre's standard metadata files, similar to calibre-web (also written in python)?

  • olaris-server

    This is a mirror please use GL (by OlarisTV)

  • I’ve seen these projects come and go. I was hopeful for Olaris to go somewhere and it kind of died.

  • ErsatzTV

    Stream custom live channels using your own media

  • Projects like DizqueTV and https://ersatztv.org/ were created to emulate a HDHomeRun to make “fake live tv” available in Plex’s Live TV interface, using Library content to emulate live TV channels you would pick up over an antenna.

  • lutris

    Lutris desktop client
