Section 01What is IT-Tools
What is IT-Tools?
IT-Tools is an open-source collection of handy tools for developers and people working in IT, made by Corentin Thomasset. More than 80 small utilities sit in one web app, grouped into categories such as Crypto, Converter, Web, Development, Network and Text: token and hash generators, JSON and YAML converters, a JWT parser, a subnet calculator, QR codes and more.
This recipe runs IT-Tools on your own server as a static web app served by nginx: no database, no accounts and nothing to configure. The tools run in your browser and the server stores nothing, so your team gets one address on your own domain for everyday checks and conversions.
- Free and open source (GPLv3)
- More than 80 tools in one app
- No accounts and no database
Section 02Features

Section 03Requirements
What you need
A fresh Ubuntu server you can log in to as root. The installer checks all of this before it changes anything.
| Requirement | IT-Tools on Docker |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Ubuntu 24.04 or 26.04 LTS (x86-64) |
| CPU | 1 core or more |
| RAM | 1 GB or more |
| Disk | 10 GB or more (25 GB recommended) |
| Containers | IT-Tools 2024.10 |
| Ports | 80 and 443 open |
IT-Tools publishes no CPU or RAM minimum, so these are the floor for any server: 1 GB is Ubuntu Server's minimum memory. Disk: about 6.5 GB is in use once the panel and IT-Tools are installed on our test server; 25 GB is Ubuntu's recommendation.
Section 04Install
How to install IT-Tools
Every step happens in the ServerAvatar panel. No terminal needed.
Pick IT-Tools in 1-Click Recipes
On your server, open Applications, click Create application and search for IT-Tools under 1-Click Recipes.
Name it and choose a domain
Give the app a name and use your own domain, or a temporary one that works right away. The panel creates a system user for it.
Create it
Click Create application. The panel starts IT-Tools and turns HTTPS on. There are no passwords to copy: IT-Tools has no database and no accounts.
Open it and use the tools
Open the app's domain: there is no account to create and no setup. Pick a tool from the menu or press Ctrl+K to search. IT-Tools has no login, so anyone who can reach the address can use it; nothing is stored on the server. If it should stay with your team, limit who can reach the address.
