About this collection

Kubernetes schedules containers across one or more machines and restarts them when they fail. That suits a homelab with several nodes or a team that already runs a cluster, and it is more than a single Docker Compose host needs. This collection lists apps that the awesome-selfhosted-data project tags with its K8S platform, which it uses for software that can be deployed on Kubernetes. 75 of the 1256 apps in our catalog carry the tag.

The tag says a Kubernetes deployment path exists; it does not say how complete it is. Some projects publish a Helm chart, others plain manifests or an operator, and the quality varies. Check the project's own install docs before you plan a cluster around it. 72 of the 73 apps here also have a Docker image, so you can try them on one machine first.

65 of the 73 use an open-source licence; the others are source-available and the Licence column says so. The list spans 31 categories. Apps without a commit in the last six months and archived repositories are left out, so the order rewards projects that are still moving.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Still curious? Email info@appsgit.com.

Which self-hosted apps run on Kubernetes?

73 actively maintained apps in the appsgit catalog are tagged for Kubernetes, led by TriliumNext Notes, Infisical Community Edition and Budibase by commits in the last 12 months.

Do I need Kubernetes to self-host these apps?

No. 72 of the 73 also publish a Docker image, which runs on a single machine without a cluster.

Does the Kubernetes tag mean there is a Helm chart?

Not always. The K8S tag from awesome-selfhosted-data means a Kubernetes deployment path exists; it may be a Helm chart, manifests or an operator. Check each project's install documentation.

Are all of these apps open source?

65 of the 73 are open source. The Licence column marks the source-available ones.
