Visit site ↗Alternativestop 14% of December 2025

What it does

SANCTUM is a homelab generator that produces clean, production-ready Docker Compose setups. Choose the services you want, detect conflicts automatically, and get a setup you fully own and understand. No opinionated stacks, no hidden magic, no lock-in. Start free with up to 3 services, or subscribe for unlimited services and continuous updates. Built for developers, homelabbers, and anyone who wants Docker done right.

    Sanctum VPN daemon for OpenBSD, Linux and macOS2024 · sanctorum.se · ▲8

    Sanctum is a small, reviewable, experimental and fully privilege seperated VPN daemon that runs on openbsd linux and macos. It takes privilege separation to the extreme to make sure all assets are isolated and each component is sandboxed with only the permissions they require.

    I've built a nice home server OSApr 2026 · lightwhale.asklandd.dk · ▲194

    ohai! I've released Lightwhale 3, which is possibly the easiest way to self-host Docker containers. It's a free, immutable Linux system purpose-built to live-boot straight into a working Docker Engine, thereby shortcutting the need for installation, configuration, and maintenance. Its simple design makes it easy to learn, and its low memory footprint should make it especially attractive during these times of RAMageddon. If this has piqued your interest, do check it out, along with its easy-to-follow Getting Started guide. In any event, have a nice day! =)

    Docker rollout – Zero Downtime Deployment for Docker-compose2023 · github.com · ▲187

    docker-compose is great for single node docker deployments, but it doesn't have a feature that would allow zero downtime deployments. It's not possible to deploy often if your app goes down every time, and using Kubernetes/Nomad/Swarm on a single node is an overkill. I created this Docker plugin to be a drop-in replacement for the restart command in usual docker-compose deployment scripts. It performs a simple rolling deployment of a single service.

    Keystone – configure Dockerfiles and dev containers for any repoFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲12

    We kept hitting the same wall: you clone some arbitrary repo and just want it to run without any configuration work. So we built Keystone, an open source tool that spins up a Modal sandbox, runs Claude Code inside it, and produces a working .devcontainer/ config (Dockerfile, devcontainer.json, test runner) for any git repo. We build on the dev container standard, so the output works with VS Code and GitHub Codespaces out of the box. Main use cases: reproducible dev/CI environments, self-describing repos, and safely sandboxed coding agents. Our goal is to encourage all repos to…

    Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
