linuxdeployqt
Makes Linux applications self-contained by copying in the libraries
Makes Linux applications self-contained by copying in the libraries and plugins that the application uses, and optionally generates an AppImage. Can be used for Qt and other applications. This Linux Deployment Tool, linuxdeployqt, takes an application as input and makes it self-contained by copying in the resources that the application uses (like libraries, graphics, and plugins) into a bundle. The resulting bundle can be distributed as an AppDir or as an AppImage to users, or can be put into cross-distribution packages. It can be used as part of the build process to deploy applications written in C, C++, and other compiled languages with systems like CMake, qmake, and make. When used on Qt-based applications, it can bundle a specific minimal subset of Qt required to run the application. This tool is conceptually based on the Mac Deployment Tool, macdeployqt in the tools applications of the Qt Toolkit, but has been changed to a slightly different logic. -

Knative Serving
Kubernetes-based, scale-to-zero, request-driven compute
Knative Serving defines a set of objects as Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs). These resources are used to define and control how your serverless workload behaves on the cluster. The service.serving.knative.dev resource automatically manages the whole lifecycle of your workload. It controls the creation of other objects to ensure that your app has a route, a configuration, and a new revision for each update of the service. Service can be defined to always route traffic to the latest revision or to a pinned revision. The route.serving.knative.dev resource maps a network endpoint to one or more revisions. You can manage the traffic in several ways, including fractional traffic and named routes. The configuration.serving.knative.dev resource maintains the desired state for your deployment. It provides a clean separation between code and configuration and follows the Twelve-Factor App methodology. Modifying a configuration creates a new revision. -
7
Argo CD
Declarative continuous deployment for Kubernetes
Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. Application definitions, configurations, and environments should be declarative and version controlled. Application deployment and lifecycle management should be automated, auditable, and easy to understand. Argo CD follows the GitOps pattern of using Git repositories as the source of truth for defining the desired application state. Argo CD automates the deployment of the desired application states in the specified target environments. Application deployments can track updates to branches, tags, or pinned to a specific version of manifests at a Git commit. See tracking strategies for additional details about the different tracking strategies available. Argo CD is implemented as a kubernetes controller which continuously monitors running applications and compares the current, live state against the desired target state (as specified in the Git repo). -

Capsule
Dead-simple packaging and deployment for JVM apps
Capsule is a packaging and deployment tool for JVM applications. A capsule is a single executable JAR that contains everything your application needs to run either in the form of embedded files or as declarative metadata. It can contain your JAR artifacts, your dependencies and resources, native libraries, the require JRE version, the JVM flags required to run the application well, Java or native agents and more. In short, a capsule is a self-contained JAR that knows everything there is to know about how to run your application the way it's meant to run. One way of thinking about a capsule is as a fat JAR on steroids (that also allows native libraries and never interferes with your dependencies) and a declarative startup script rolled into one; another, is to see it is as the deploy-time counterpart to your build tool. Just as a build tool manages your build, Capsule manages the launching of your application. -

Hypermind
The high-availability solution to a problem that doesn't exist
Hypermind is a whimsical yet technically intriguing decentralized application that combines a peer-to-peer (P2P) network counter with ephemeral chat functionality, built to “solve” the meta-problem of tracking how many peers are running its container in a decentralized mesh. There’s no central server or database; instead, Hypermind leverages a Distributed Hash Table (DHT) using Hyperswarm to discover peers and maintain approximate counts of active nodes, architected to be a fully decentralized service. Alongside counting nodes, the project also supports ephemeral chat over its mesh network, allowing users to send messages directly to local peers or broadcast via a gossip protocol without storing chat history. The project uses probabilistic data structures like HyperLogLog for efficient estimation of unique peers and provides real-time visualizations and themes for exploring the swarm. -

It is particularly helpful for small- to medium-sized web projects where complex CI/CD pipelines are unnecessary but a reliable deployment mechanism is still needed. The configuration is simple and human-readable, enabling teams to share deployment settings easily. By streamlining file transfer and reducing manual steps, dploy helps teams deploy faster, avoid mistakes, and maintain consistent environments. -
21
Git-FTP
Uses Git to upload only changed files to FTP servers
If you use Git and you need to upload your files to an FTP server, Git-ftp can save you some time and bandwidth by uploading only those files that changed since the last upload. It keeps track of the uploaded files by storing the commit id in a log file on the server. It uses Git to determine which local files have changed. You can easily deploy another branch or go back in the Git history to upload an older version. git-ftp was not designed as centralized deployment tool. While a commit is being pushed and uploaded to the FTP server, all files belonging to that revision must remain untouched until git-ftp has successfully finished the upload. Otherwise, the contents of the uploaded file will not match the contents of the file referenced in the commit. -

Open Source Deployment Tools Guide
Open source deployment tools are a type of software that allows developers to easily deploy their code into production environments. They simplify the process of managing and deploying your code, allowing developers to focus on writing code.
The most widely used open source deployment tool is Jenkins. It is easy to set up and configure and offers a web-based management interface for users who want to manage their deployments manually. With Jenkins, you can automate many of the steps involved in the deployment process such as building, testing, and releasing applications or websites. It also integrates with popular cloud services like Kubernetes, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and more.
Other open source tools include Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Fabric, SaltStack and Capistrano. These tools make it easier for teams to quickly provision servers in order to run applications or scripts remotely. They are great for automating complex tasks such as setting up databases or creating user accounts. Some of these tools also offer integration with popular continuous integration systems such as Travis CI or CircleCI which can be used for automated testing prior to deployment.
One key benefit of using an open source deployment tool over a proprietary solution is cost savings - as most of them are free. This makes them accessible to everyone regardless of budget constraints. Additionally they are often backed by strong communities that continuously develop new features so users always get the latest updates without needing any manual intervention on their part Furthermore many have comparison tables available online where users can compare different versions so they know exactly what they're getting before investing time & money into learning how to use it. Lastly there's often plenty of documentation available so if something doesn't work out quite right there's usually someone who has gone through similar experiences before who can provide guidance & support through forums etcetera – all within reach thanks its open nature.

How Users Can Get Started With Open Source Deployment Tools
- Getting started with open source deployment tools can be a straightforward process. The first step is to do some research, as there are many different tools available and they can vary greatly in terms of features and complexity.
- Once you’ve identified a few that meet your needs, it’s time to download the software. This can usually be done from the relevant vendor's website or an online repository such as GitHub or SourceForge. Once downloaded, most open source deployment tools require installation via an executable file or other setup process (depending on the tool).
- Next, you need to decide what sort of environment you want to implement your project in. Many open source deployment solutions come with a set of pre-defined environments for quick configuration. You may also choose to customize one of these environments for more advanced projects. In any case, it pays to understand how the environment works before moving forward so you don't run into unexpected issues later on down the line.
- Once everything has been configured correctly, it’s time to create the actual project itself. This usually involves setting up an application server stack such as Apache Tomcat or JBoss WildFly along with configuring environments like databases and web servers as needed by your project requirements. After this has been completed successfully, it’s important that you test out your system thoroughly using unit testing strategies and other quality assurance measures before deploying across production systems.
- Finally, when everything looks good and ready for launch, it’s time for deployment. Depending on which approach you chose earlier in development stages (manual vs automated), this will involve executing various scripts or running custom commands from within the open source deployment tool itself depending on what best suits your needs at that particular stage in the process flow. And if all goes well – congratulations -you have now deployed your project effectively using an open source platform.
