> We deploy self-hosted and open-source tools in a real sandbox, run them, and write up exactly what worked and what broke. First-hand reviews — no aggregation.

Every article is one self-hosted / open-source tool we deployed and ran
first-hand in a real sandbox. We report the working docker-compose, the errors
we hit, the fixes, resource notes, and an honest verdict — including when NOT to
pick a tool. No aggregation; no "best/#1" lists.

Languages: English is the default (root URLs). Translations, when they exist, are
path-prefixed (e.g. /de/) and marked per tool below.

## About Buddy (honest disclosure)
We deploy each tool in a Buddy sandbox — that sandbox is our test rig. Buddy is
the method we use to run the tools, not the subject of the reviews. Each article
carries one clearly-labelled link to Buddy. Buddy is a cloud CI/CD platform.
