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. -

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). -

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. -

Lerna
A tool for managing JavaScript projects with multiple packages
Lerna is a tool for managing JavaScript projects with multiple packages. Many times splitting a large codebase into several independently versioned packages is necessary for code sharing. However, this can make testing and tracking changes across repositories quite difficult. As a solution to this, many projects organize their codebases into multi-package repositories. It is Lerna's job to manage these multi-package repositories, optimizing workflow and reducing the time and space requirements for numerous copies of packages in development and build environments. Lerna's primary functionalities are bootstrap, which links dependencies in the repo together; and publish, which helps publish any updated packages. It is important to note that Lerna is not a deployment tool for serverless monorepos. -
7
kube-bench
Checks whether Kubernetes is deployed
kube-bench is a tool that checks whether Kubernetes is deployed securely by running the checks documented in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark. Trivy, the all-in-one cloud-native security scanner, can be deployed as a Kubernetes Operator inside a cluster. Both, the Trivy CLI, and the Trivy Operator support CIS Kubernetes Benchmark scanning among several other features. There are multiple ways to run kube-bench. You can run kube-bench inside a pod, but it will need access to the host's PID namespace in order to check the running processes, as well as access to some directories on the host where config files and other files are stored. -

m23
Your linux deployment tool!
m23 is a free software distribution system (license: GPL), that installs (via network, starting with partitioning and formatting) and administrates (updates, adds / removes software, adds / removes scripts) clients with Debian, (X/K)Ubuntu and LinuxMint. It is used for deployment of Linux clients in schools, institutions and enterprises. The m23 server is controlled via a web interface. A new m23 client can be installed easily in only three steps. Group functions and mass installation tools make managing a vast number of clients comfortable. The integration of existing clients (with .deb-based distributions) into the system is possible, too. Client backup and server backup are included to avoid data loss. With the integrated virtualisation software, m23 can create and manage virtual m23 clients, that run on real m23 clients or the m23 server. Scripts and software packages (for installation on clients) can be created directly from the m23 web interface. -

OpenCrowbar
Data Center Bare Metal configuration platform
The principal motivation for creation of OpenCrowbar is the transition a from bare metal installer into a tool that manages ongoing operations. OpenCrowbar enables upgrade and continuous deployment automation. This capability is important for large scale deployments of evolving complex projects like OpenStack, Hadoop, and Ceph. OpenCrowbar provides the foundation for operations automation. OpenCrowbar is an open reference implementation that can be reliably deployed in large-scale, multi-site datacenters. This effectively productizes best practices in a way that allows creation of consistent and discoverable operating environments. Users benefit with fast time-to-value and we benefit by having consistent installations across the ecosystem. -

PyAppExec
Launcher that prepares Python/deps and runs your app like OS-native
PyAppExec is a cross‑platform open-source launcher and installer that makes Python apps feel native. It locates or installs the required Python runtime, provisions an isolated virtual environment, installs your project’s pip requirements, and handles any external tools requirements or dependencies (e.g., FFmpeg) with version checks and auto-download/extract on Windows/macOS/Linux. The Qt-based installer can scaffold pyappexec.ini, copy/rename the launcher, and (on macOS) bundle a self-contained .app with icons. The optional run-time GUI captures logs, while CLI mode stays lean for automation. Config is driven by a simple INI per OS, so app IDs, entry points, requirements, and paths are declarative. PyAppExec also manages user-level caches/state, log rotation, and GUI suppression preferences letting you ship Python apps without asking end users to touch Python, virtualenvs, or package managers. -

AWS .NET deployment tool
The tooling that simplifies deployment of .NET applications
AWS Deploy Tool is an interactive tooling for the .NET CLI and the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio that helps deploy .NET applications with minimum AWS knowledge, and with the fewest clicks or commands. It works by analyzing .NET projects and guiding developers to the right AWS service. It then selects the right deployment service, builds and packages your application, and creates the deployment infrastructure. It allows for a quick and easy Proof of concept (POC), smooth graduation to CI/CD, and a gradual ramp-up of AWS knowledge. Get recommendations about the type of computing best suited for your application based on the application type. The tool will generate a Dockerfile if needed, otherwise, an existing Dockerfile will be used. The tool builds the deployment artifacts, generates a deployment CDK project, provisions the infrastructure and deploys your application to the chosen AWS compute. -

Buildbot
Python-based continuous integration testing framework
Buildbot is an open-source framework for automating software build, test, and release processes. At its core, Buildbot is a job scheduling system: it queues jobs, executes the jobs when the required resources are available, and reports the results. Your Buildbot installation has one or more masters and a collection of workers. The masters monitor source-code repositories for changes, coordinate the activities of the workers, and report results to users and developers. Workers run on a variety of operating systems. You configure Buildbot by providing a Python configuration script to the master. This script can be very simple, configuring built-in components, but the full expressive power of Python is available. This allows dynamic generation of configuration, customized components, and anything else you can devise. The framework itself is implemented in Twisted Python, and compatible with all major operating systems. -
17
Capistrano
Remote multi-server automation tool
A remote server automation and deployment tool written in Ruby. Capistrano extends the Rake DSL with methods specific to running commands on() servers. Capistrano is written in Ruby, but it can easily be used to deploy any language. If your language or framework has special deployment requirements, Capistrano can easily be extended to support them. Capistrano is bundled as a Ruby Gem. It requires Ruby 2.0 or newer. Capistrano can be installed as a standalone Gem, or bundled into your application. It is recommended to fix the version number when using Capistrano, and is therefore recommended to use an appropriate bundler. The capistrano-rails gem includes extras specifically designed for Ruby on Rails, specifically Asset Pipeline Support and Database Migration Support. Capistrano deploys using SSH. Thus, you must be able to SSH (ideally with keys and ssh-agent) from the deployment system to the destination system for Capistrano to work. -

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. -

Celest
The Flutter cloud platform
Celest is the Flutter cloud platform. We enable Flutter and Dart developers to declaratively define their backend infrastructure in Dart. To interact with the running environment, Celest will generate a Dart client which you can use in any Dart or Flutter project. This client is generated in the client/ directory of your celest/ folder. As you make changes in the local environment, this client will be updated to reflect those changes. To get started with Celest, you'll need to configure your development environment so that you have Flutter and the Celest CLI installed on your machine. -

CentralPortalPlus
Publish your artifacts to sonatype's central portal.
The plugin implements sonatype's Central Publisher API (part of). It will call maven-publish to generate artifacts and publish them to sonatype's central portal. Note: This is a third party plugin. Apply this plugin in gradle: plugins { id("cn.lalaki.central") version "1.2.11" } -
21
Cluster Orchestrator
orchestrator / cluster deployment tool
The Orchestrator server is responsible for distribution and launch of simple apply/rollback shell scripts in a particular order across multiple servers . If for any reason deployment is failing at a particular stage the process will stop and you can rollback any changes done until then. In case you want to deploy your code or just call your preferred DSC client to apply the configuration locally the Orchestrator can be a handy tool. The operation can be started manually or scheduled, depending on your needs. In terms of audit and trace capabilities, the system is collecting all console output of your shell scripts from all servers and saves the logs centrally for review. -
22
Deployer
Deployment tool with support for popular frameworks out of the box
A deployment tool written in PHP with support for popular frameworks out of the box. Deployer is a cli tool for deployment of any PHP applications, including frameworks such as Laravel, Symfony, Zend Framework and many more. Main concept of Deployer is recipe, a php file containing tasks definitions. Recipe can require other recipes and extend/ override functionality. Also Deployer comes with bunch of ready to use recipes from community for Slack, etc. Deployer can be easily installed via composer or as phar archive. By default deployer keeps the last 5 releases, but you can increase this number by modifying the associated parameter. You may want to run some task before/after other tasks. Configuring that is really simple! Defining a host in Deployer is necessary to deploy your application. It can be a remote machine, a local machine or Amazon EC2 instances. Each host contains a hostname, a stage, one or more roles and configuration parameters. -

Distillery
Simplify deployments in Elixir with OTP releases
Distillery is a release manager for Elixir applications, designed to package apps into self-contained, deployable artifacts. It automates the process of building OTP releases, handling steps like compilation, dependency bundling, and generating start/stop scripts. Releases built with Distillery include everything needed to run an Elixir app in production, even on machines without Elixir or Erlang installed. It also supports features like configuration providers, hot upgrades, and customizable release pipelines. By managing environment-specific settings, it simplifies deploying the same app to different systems without manual reconfiguration. Distillery has historically been a key tool for production Elixir deployments before Elixir added built-in release functionality, and it remains valuable for teams seeking flexibility in their deployment workflows. -

Dockge
A fancy, easy-to-use and reactive self-hosted docker compose.yaml
Dockge is a self-hosted, stack-oriented manager for Docker Compose files designed to simplify container management with a modern web interface. Instead of treating each container individually, it focuses on stacks defined by docker-compose.yaml files, allowing users to create, edit, start, stop, restart, and delete entire stacks through a UI rather than via CLI only. The tool preserves the stack files on disk (rather than hiding them inside a database), so users retain full flexibility to inspect and manage via normal Docker commands. It also supports multiple agents across different Docker hosts, enabling one unified UI to control stacks on multiple servers. The interface is reactive and real-time: progress bars show pulling, starting, and updating operations, and a built-in web terminal allows direct interaction.
