    if you like Go and backend/infrastructure you might like https://github.com/infrahq/infra. it’s simple identity and access management for kubernetes (and eventually others).

  4. kvdi

    If you want to sink into Kubernetes, I've been desperately seeking more contributors on kvdi for a while. It's a virtual desktop infrastructure running on K8s. Tons of features to be added, tons of issues/requests to be addressed. It just don't pay the bills and I got a full-time day job. But if you are interested in hacking on it, let me know.

    There is one project that I know that might fits your interest https://github.com/micro/micro

  7. prometheus

    The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.

    The Humboldt Web Framework and Toolkit. Using this as an interpeter and server, build webistes in an MVC pattern using Lua.

  12. kopia

    Cross-platform backup tool for Windows, macOS & Linux with fast, incremental backups, client-side end-to-end encryption, compression and data deduplication. CLI and GUI included.
