Cosmos Server
Cosmos-Server is a self-hosted server platform that combines an authentication gateway, a reverse proxy with dynamic rate limiting, and a Docker container orchestrator into a single management interface. It provides automatic HTTPS certificate management with wildcard support through DNS challenges, and secures self-hosted applications with token-based session management and plugin-based authentication middleware.
The platform distinguishes itself by integrating these capabilities into a unified system where the reverse proxy enforces authentication, rate limiting, and TLS termination before traffic reaches backend services. It includes a health-check and auto-recovery system that monitors service endpoints and automatically restarts failing containers, along with a dynamic rate-limiting engine that adjusts per-client limits in real time and applies exponential backoff or bans for abusive patterns.
Cosmos-Server handles the full lifecycle of TLS certificates via the ACME protocol, automates DNS record creation and deletion for domain validation, and manages Docker container deployment with networking, volume mounts, and restart policies. It also offers programmatic server management through SDKs in JavaScript, TypeScript, or Go, as well as a Terraform provider for infrastructure-as-code deployments.

- DNS Challenge Automation - Automates DNS record creation and deletion for ACME DNS challenges to issue wildcard TLS certificates.
- Automatic Container HTTPS - Generates and renews TLS certificates for applications with wildcard support through DNS challenges.
- Rate Limiting & Abuse Prevention - Protects APIs by dynamically adjusting rate limits and throttling or banning abusive clients based on behavior.
- Endpoint Protection Measures - Adjusts rate limits dynamically, throttles abusive users, and enforces bans to safeguard server resources without manual tuning.
- DNS Challenge Automation - Automates DNS record creation and deletion for ACME DNS challenges to issue wildcard TLS certificates.
- Self-Hosted Security Tools - Applies enterprise-grade security measures to protect applications and data on a personal server.

How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
