Open-source alternatives to Static Web Server

Host These Things Please - a basic http server for hosting a folder fast and simply

This project is a collection of specialized HTTP servers designed for static file hosting, secure file uploads, and encrypted web traffic. It provides implementations for delivering local files and directories over HTTP and HTTPS, including support for index pages and single-page application routing. The software differentiates itself through dedicated server roles, including a secure file upload server with size limits and token validation, and an HTTPS web server that utilizes PKCS#12 certificates for TLS encryption. It also includes a specialized gateway for managing cross-origin resource

A blazingly fast, minimalist HTTP server built for modern Rust applications.

This project is a Docker-based Nginx reverse proxy manager designed to automate the deployment of HTTPS for web applications. It functions as a gateway that acquires and renews security certificates via Let's Encrypt and proxies incoming traffic to backend services. The system distinguishes itself by automatically discovering web services running in Docker containers to eliminate manual domain configuration. It manages security certificates through an automated process and can expose these certificates to other applications via shared volumes. The tool covers traffic management through load

Stoatchat is a real-time chat server and messaging backend that utilizes WebSockets to handle instant communication, live event updates, and user presence tracking. The project incorporates an encrypted file storage system and cloud storage layer that applies AES encryption to binary data before upload. It also functions as an HTTP content proxy server to mask user IP addresses when fetching media from third-party services and as a push notification gateway to ensure reliable alert delivery via a background dispatch queue. The system includes role-based access control to manage user permissi

Enterprise-oriented Generic Proxy Solutions

Pingora is a Rust-based framework for building high-performance network services, including HTTP reverse proxies, layer seven load balancers, and TLS termination proxies. It serves as an asynchronous network library designed to intercept and route HTTP, gRPC, and WebSocket traffic between clients and upstream backend servers. The project enables zero-downtime service updates by handing over listening sockets between processes during binary or configuration upgrades. It utilizes a programmable multi-phase pipeline to modify request and response bodies and headers, and it provides a pluggable T

Scriptable local traffic workbench for inspecting, intercepting, replaying, and rewriting HTTP/HTTPS and WebSocket traffic.

🩵 Self-hosted & Fully-automated ActivityPub Bridge for Static Sites.

SiteOne Crawler is a cross-platform website crawler and analyzer for SEO, security, accessibility, and performance optimization—ideal for developers, DevOps, QA engineers, and consultants. Supports Windows, macOS, and Linux (x64 and arm64).

A self-contained browser engine that fetches, renders, and extracts web content as Markdown, JSON, or screenshots — no Chromium, no API key, no setup.

Lemmy is a self-hosted, federated discussion platform that enables the operation of independent, decentralized social networking servers. By implementing the ActivityPub protocol, it allows autonomous instances to exchange content, synchronize user interactions, and participate in a global, distributed network without centralized control. The platform distinguishes itself through a decoupled architecture that separates the backend API from the frontend, facilitating the development of custom interfaces while maintaining unified user handles and cross-platform communication. It provides granul
