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. -

Juju
Orchestration engine that enables the deployment, and integration
Juju is an open source application orchestration engine that enables any application operation (deployment, integration, lifecycle management) on any infrastructure (Kubernetes or otherwise) at any scale (development or production) in the same easy way (typically, one line of code), through special operators called ‘charms’. A charm is an operator - business logic encapsulated in reusable software packages that automate every aspect of an application's life. -

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). -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -
24
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. -
25
Dploy
FTP/SFTP deployment tool built in node.js
dploy is a deployment automation tool written in Node.js, designed to simplify pushing code and assets to servers. It uses configuration files to define environments and deploy rules, allowing developers to quickly push updates via FTP or SFTP. With a single command, dploy compares the local project with the remote server and uploads only the files that have changed, making deployments efficient and incremental. 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.
