What is the best self-hosted app for developer tools?
By GitHub stars, OpenHands is the most popular self-hosted app for developer tools with 91,868 stars, followed by code-server and Sentry Self-Hosted. The best fit depends on your needs, so compare Docker support, license and recent activity on each app page.
Are these Developer Tools apps free?
Mostly. 32 of the 34 apps here are open source; 2 are source-available. The open-source apps are free to run on your own server; source-available licenses add conditions, such as limits on hosted, commercial or production use, so check the license on each app page. A few projects also offer a paid hosted plan or enterprise add-ons.
How do I install a self-hosted Developer Tools app?
27 of the 34 apps here ship a Docker image, which is the easiest route: rent a small VPS or use a home server, install Docker, and start the app with its Docker Compose file. Apps without an image list their native install steps in the README.

Measured by commits in the last twelve months, the most active projects are PostHog (40,598 commits), Sentry Self-Hosted (19,971 commits) and Weblate (13,420 commits). Active development usually means faster bug fixes and security patches.
