OpenHPI provides an open source implementation of the Service Availability
Forum (SAF) Hardware Platform Interface (HPI).
HPI is an abstracted interface for managing computer hardware, typically
chassis and rack based servers. HPI includes resource modeling; access to
and control over sensor, control, watchdog, and inventory data associated
with resources; abstracted System Event Log interfaces; hardware events and
alarms; and a managed hotswap interface.
Capistrano is a standalone utility that can also integrate nicely with
Rails. You simply provide SwitchTower with a deployment "recipe" that
describes your various servers and their roles, and voila! You magically
have single-command deployment. It even allows you to roll a bad version
out of production and revert back to the previous release.
Terraform provides a common configuration to launch infrastructure - from
physical and virtual servers to email and DNS providers. Once launched,
Terraform safely and efficiently changes infrastructure as the configuration is
evolved. Simple file based configuration gives you a single view of your entire
infrastructure.
vmdktool converts raw filesystems to VMDK files and vice versa.
VMDK files can be imported directly into most Virtual Machine servers
as guest filesystems. Automatic machine deployments into products
such as VMware's ESXi and VirtualBox requires the ability to construct
VMDK files as the initial filesystem images for the created guests.
vmdktool is free.

tlsdate sets the local clock by securely connecting with TLS to remote
servers and extracting the remote time out of the secure handshake. Unlike
ntpdate, tlsdate uses TCP, for instance connecting to a remote HTTPS or TLS
enabled service, and provides some protection against adversaries that try to
feed you malicious time information.
The Dictionary Server Protocol (DICT) is a TCP transaction based query/response
protocol that allows a client to access dictionary definitions from a set of
natural language dictionary databases.
RFC 2229 describes the DICT client/server protocol.
dict is a client which can access DICT servers from the command line.
ScrollKeeper is a cataloging system for documentation on open systems.
It manages documentation metadata (as specified by the Open Source
Metadata Framework (OMF) and provides a simple API to allow help browsers
to find, sort, and search the document catalog. It will also be able to
communicate with catalog servers on the Net to search for documents which
are not on the local system.
ffproxy is a filtering HTTP proxy server. It is able to filter
by host, URL, and header. Custom header entries can be filtered
and added. It can even drop its privileges and optionally
chroot() to some directory. Logging to syslog() is supported,
as is using another auxiliary proxy server. Contacting IPv6
servers is supported and allows transparent IPv6 over IPv4
browsing.
The htdigest utility from Apache is useful for other web servers too--
lighttpd for example can make use of the digests thus created.
This package contains just htdigest, renamed as apache-htdigest to avoid
conflicts. It means that the htdigest utility is available without installing
the entire Apache distribution.
phpBB is a high powered, fully scalable, and highly customisable
open-source bulletin board package. phpBB has a user-friendly interface,
simple and straightforward administration panel, and helpful FAQ. Based
on the powerful PHP server language and your choice of MySQL, MS-SQL,
PostgreSQL or Access/ODBC database servers, phpBB is the ideal free
community solution for all web sites.
