IT Tools

There are certain tasks every developer has to do that often get completed thanks to free online utilities that do things like return the hash of a string, convert markdown data, calculate epoch timestamps, and more. Most of these online tools are littered with ads in order to make the author money.

While setting up my homelab, I came across Corentin Thomasset’s “IT Tools” collection. Available as a docker container, I was able to set up these really nicely designed tools on my local network so I don’t need to use 3rd party cloud options.

Installing

This docker-compose.yml file is all I needed:

services:
  it-tools:
    image: corentinth/it-tools
    container_name: it-tools
    ports:
      - "8088:80"
    restart: unless-stopped

to get it running.
