Open Source Server & VM Management Software

Server & VM Management software provides centralized interfaces for configuring hardware, deploying containers, and monitoring system resources. These tools replace manual command line entries with visual dashboards to manage databases, reverse proxies, and virtual machines. This type of software serves system administrators and home lab enthusiasts who need to organize multiple services on a single machine. Self-hosting these apps ensures that server access logs and configuration files remain on local hardware instead of on external corporate platforms.

This page lists 33 open source tools in the Server & VM Management category. The most popular are Home Assistant, Coolify and CasaOS. Most use the GPL-3.0 or Apache-2.0 license, and 27 offer an official Docker image.
