ShowDev: OpsBay – Self-Hosted Dev Tools Without the Hassle

πŸš€ OpsBay.com – DevOps Tools Without the Infrastructure Baggage

Tired of spinning up servers just to run Jenkins, code-server, or a Kanban board?

OpsBay.com gives you ready-to-use, self-hosted tools without the hassle of managing them yourself.


What is OpsBay?

OpsBay is a platform that offers simple, no-fuss access to popular open-source DevOps and developer tools. Think of it as your personal operations bayβ€”just pick a tool, and you're up and running in seconds.

We host and manage the infrastructure so you don’t have to.


Why We Built It

As developers, we love open-source tools. But let’s be honest:

Spinning up Jenkins, Kanboard, or even code-server can be tedious when you're working solo or bootstrapping a project.

You just want the toolβ€”without:

  • Configuring Docker images
  • Managing cloud servers
  • Dealing with TLS, updates, and restarts
  • Paying for unused resources

OpsBay solves that by offering a curated set of services with a click-and-go experience.


What You Can Run on OpsBay

Here's what’s currently available (with more on the way):

  • 🧠 Kanboard – Lightweight Kanban project management
  • πŸ”§ Jenkins – Your trusted CI/CD workhorse
  • πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» code-server (VS Code in the browser)
  • πŸ“ˆ Uptime Kuma – Self-hosted monitoring and uptime tracking
  • πŸ–₯️ Apache Guacamole – Browser-based remote desktop access
  • πŸ” Vaultwarden – Lightweight, self-hosted Bitwarden password manager

Each service runs in its own isolated environment, ready in seconds.


Ideal for…

  • Solo developers needing fast, reliable tools
  • Freelancers who want private infrastructure without setup headaches
  • Indie makers launching projects and MVPs
  • Anyone tired of provisioning infrastructure for simple tooling

Try Before You Decide

We offer demo account with automatic periodic resets, so you can try the tools before committing.

Want a longer-term setup? Paid plans let you run services continuously with custom settings.


What’s Next?

We’re actively building and improving. Up next:

🧰 Now on Opsbay: Gogs – A Lightweight, Self-Hosted Git Service

Hey folks πŸ‘‹

We just added Gogs to OpsBay β€” a fast and minimal self-hosted Git service written in Go.

If you’re the kind of developer who prefers keeping things lean and under your control, Gogs might be your new favorite tool. It’s perfect for solo projects, internal repos, or small teams who want Git hosting without the complexity of GitLab or GitHub Enterprise.

With Opsbay, you can launch your own Gogs instance in just a few clicks β€” no server setup, no Docker config, no hassle.

πŸ”Ή What you get:

  • Fully isolated Gogs instance
  • SSH access ready to go
  • Auto-start & persistent storage
  • Optional backups (just in case)
  • Runs in the cloud, but feels local

We’re building Opsbay to make it dead simple to spin up useful self-hosted tools β€” like Gogs β€” without turning into a sysadmin. Feedback and ideas are more than welcome!

Happy hacking! ⚑
