149 open-source projects across 37 categories instead of cloud subscriptions. A bot walks them daily and marks what is alive.

At the end of August 2026 we counted ourselves: of the 149 projects, 106 had been updated within the month and 16 had not been touched for over a year, and those are marked red rather than dropped from the list.

What it is

A catalogue of self-hosted alternatives to the usual services: Immich instead of Google Photos, Syncthing instead of Dropbox, Jellyfin instead of Netflix, Outline instead of Notion, Bitwarden instead of a paid password manager. The categories run from VPN and mail server to smart home, git server and a personal finance tracker.

What separates it from dozens of similar lists is that this one does not go stale. A bot checks every day whether the projects are alive and gives each row a colour mark, so deciding what to take takes a second. Abandoned projects are not quietly dropped but honestly marked red, and strict submission criteria keep filler out.

How it works

dyos-db.json
All the catalogue data lives in one file, and the README is built from it.
GitHub Actiondaily
Walks every repository through the API, pulls stars and the last commit date, and regenerates the README.
green · amber · red
Green means updated this month, amber this year, red more than a year ago.
criteria
The submission template admits everyday needs only, open source only, only what runs on an ordinary VPS, and no cut-down Community Editions with user limits.

Know before installing

The catalogue gives links, not deployment instructions.
A green mark means a recent commit, not a fresh release.
The repository ships no licence file, so copying the whole database into your own project needs the author's permission.
