delightful-software

a list of delightful software (maybe), because I keep forgetting what things are called. mostly vetted for idiocy and usefulness, perhaps you'll find it useful.

inclusion requirements:

• Generally needs to be in Go, C/C++ or Rust (in that order)
• Absolutely no Java or Node (only exception where nothing else exists that suffices)
• Actively maintained, serves a useful purpose other than "I like it"

(x) notes at the bottom

Comms

• Synapse - Reference Matrix homeserver implementation
• Jitsi - Self hosted Zoom (mostly)

Proxies / Identity sign-on / Auth.

• Traefik - dynamically configurable reverse http/tcp proxy, service discovery etc
• Caddy - fast webserver, etc
• Pomerium - reverse proxy with identity sign on, SSO etc
• Teleport - SSO ssh access control
• shadow - transparent socks et al proxy
• Dex - OIDC connector for LDAP, AD, etc
• Pritunl - "enterprise vpn server built on OpenVPN" [2]
• Pritunl Zero - "zero trust" access control etc [2]

Containers / VMs

• LXD - Daemon built on LXC and QEMU with a delightful API.

DNS

• CoreDNS - mostly k8s type stuff, but useful standalone
• AdguardHome - filtering dns server, blocklists and such (like pi-hole but more useful)

TLS

• Lego - ACME client, supports a bunch of provider APIs
• smallstep - CA management including an ACME server and SSH key auth

Password stuff

• vaultwarden - only supply docker (build instructions buried in the wiki instead of README) and requires nightly rust toolchain
