About
A catalog that welcomes difficult questions
Fossary helps you choose and launch services on your own server. We disclose limitations, never disguise incomplete checks, and rely on official sources.
Quality over quantity
Every application needs a reproducible recipe: image version, Compose file, environment example, instructions, requirements, and a clear validation status. A page without this information is not ready.
Official sources first
Official documentation, repositories, release notes, and container images take priority. Third-party articles are only supporting references, and all catalog copy is written independently.
Verified does not mean audited
The validation status describes whether a recipe works in its stated scenario. It is not a source-code audit and does not guarantee that an application has no vulnerabilities. Potentially dangerous settings are disclosed separately.
Disclaimer
Fossary is an independent informational catalog and is not affiliated with the developers of the listed applications. We collect information from public sources and verify published recipes, but we do not develop, distribute, or control these applications.
A listing or validation status is not a requirement, endorsement, or personal recommendation to use an application. You decide whether it is suitable and use it at your own risk. We do not warrant an application's security, availability, or fitness for purpose and, to the extent permitted by law, are not liable for resulting loss or damage. Review its license, security settings, data processing, and backup procedures before installation.
