IT Tools

A self-hosted collection of browser-based utilities for developers and IT professionals. IT Tools consolidates over 80 commonly needed tools into a single, clean web interface — eliminating the need to hunt down and bookmark individual online utilities.

Host: Titan

Why Self-Host?

The official public instance at it-tools.tech is freely available, but self-hosting makes sense here for a few reasons:

  • Privacy — some tools handle sensitive values (tokens, private keys, passwords, encryption keys). Running locally means that data never leaves the network.
  • Always available — no dependency on an external site's uptime.
  • Speed — serving from Phobos over LAN is noticeably faster than hitting an external server.
  • Offline access — works even without internet connectivity.

What's Included

Tools are organised into 10 categories. A full-text search bar and per-category sidebar make finding the right tool quick. Frequently used tools can be favourited and will appear pinned at the top of the list.

Technical Notes

IT Tools is entirely client-side — there is no backend, no database, and no data transmitted anywhere. All processing happens in the browser. User preferences (favourites, settings) are stored in the browser's local storage.

The Docker image is approximately 20 MB and requires no volumes or environment variables for standard use.

docker-compose.yml

networks:
  proxy:
    external: true

services:
  it-tools:
    image: corentinth/it-tools:latest
    container_name: it-tools
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      proxy:
        ipv4_address: "172.19.0.4"
    labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.http.services.it-tools.loadbalancer.server.port=80
      - traefik.http.routers.it-tools.entrypoints=websecure-int
      - traefik.http.routers.it-tools.rule=Host(`subdomain.domain.co.uk`)
      - traefik.http.routers.it-tools.tls=true
      - traefik.http.routers.it-tools.tls.certresolver=production
      - traefik.http.routers.it-tools.tls.domains[0].main=domain.co.uk
      - traefik.http.routers.it-tools.tls.domains[0].sans=*.domain.co.uk

The container joins the external proxy network on Titan, with a static IP of 172.19.0.4. Traefik handles TLS termination and routing via the websecure-int entrypoint — no port mapping is required.

Updating

docker compose up -d --force-recreate
