BlanketDB is a very simple database written in Python based on SQLite. It is intended for small IoT projects where you need a quick way to collect and store data from sensors and other devices. You communicate with BlanketDB using HTTP GET / POST / DELETE requests. Request and response bodies are usually JSON, but you can also POST HTML forms directly to BlanketDB. There is no schema in the database, you simply store objects in buckets.

Manticore Search is an open-source search engine that was born in 2017 as a continuation of the famous Sphinx Search engine. We took all the best from that, significantly improved its functionality, fixed hundreds of bugs, and rewrote it almost completely internally. And left it all open-sourced! That’s what makes Manticore Search a modern, fast and light-weight full-featured search engine.
We have designed and developed Manticore to provide you with multi-functional relevant search capabilities with high performance and low resource consumption and importantly easily integrable. It doesn’t matter what environment you are using, whether it’s Windows, Linux, MacOS or Docker, you can always use Manticore Search and connect to it from different programming languages or HTTP via JSON or even using MySQL client.

Sphinx is a full-text search engine, distributed under GPL version 2. Commercial licensing (eg. for embedded use) is also available upon request.
Generally, it's a standalone search engine, meant to provide fast, size-efficient and relevant full-text search functions to other applications. Sphinx was specially designed to integrate well with SQL databases and scripting languages.
Currently built-in data source drivers support fetching data either via direct connection to MySQL, or PostgreSQL, or from a pipe in a custom XML format. Adding new drivers (eg. to natively support some other DBMS) is designed to be as easy as possible.
Search API is natively ported to PHP, Python, Perl and Ruby and also available as a pluggable MySQL storage engine. API is very lightweight so porting it to new language is known to take a few hours.
As for the name, Sphinx is an acronym which is officially decoded as SQL Phrase Index. Yes, I know about CMU's Sphinx project.
There are plugins for multiple webapps out there. I've used the Mediawiki one extensively.
µStreamer is a lightweight and very quick server to stream MJPG video from any V4L2 device to the net. All new browsers have native support of this video format, as well as most video players such as mplayer, VLC etc. µStreamer is a part of the Pi-KVM project designed to stream VGA and HDMI screencast hardware data with the highest resolution and FPS possible.
If you're going to live-stream from your backyard webcam and need to control it, use mjpg-streamer. If you need a high-quality image with high FPS - µStreamer for the win.
Written in C.
I wrote this script during the grueling process of installing and setting up an email server. It perfectly reproduces my successful steps to ensure the same setup time and time again, now with many improvements.
I'm glad to say that dozens, hundreds of people have now used it and there is a sizeable network of people with email servers thanks to this script.
I've linked this file on Github to a shorter, more memorable address on my website so you can get it on your machine with this short command:
curl -LO lukesmith.xyz/emailwiz.sh
When prompted by a dialog menu at the beginning, select "Internet Site", then give your full domain without any subdomain, i.e. lukesmith.xyz.
Debian (and derivatives) specific.
Sort of a self-hosted Youtube work-alike for your media collection. Browse, organize, and curate your stuff. Movies, shows, music. Live TV enabled, can function as a DVR.
Client apps for Android TV, FireTV, Roku, Kodi, Xbox One, PS4, and more. Or you can watch stuff in your web browser.

Official package repos for Debian and Ubuntu. In the AUR. There's even a portable version (if you have the .net core runtime handy).
Pleroma is a free, federated social networking server built on open protocols. It is compatible with GNU Social, Mastodon, and many other ActivityPub implementations.
The project consists of several components: Pleroma is the server implementation, and comes bundled with PleromaFE, the default frontend. Other useful utilities are also provided, such as an ActivityPub relay.
High performance, low latency, you can even run it on a RasPi (and many busy Pleroma instances are!)
Written in Elixir and Phoenix, with Postgres as its back-end.

FLOSS alternative to subsonic, supporting its many clients. Music streaming server / subsonic server API implementation. Browse online. Realtime transcoding for streaming. Jukebox mode. Multiple users. Scrobbling to last.fm. Tries to be lightweight enough to run on something like a RasPi.
Lightweight Music Server. Access your self-hosted music using a web interface. Lightweight - designed for something like a RasPi. Recommendation engine built in. Custom tags. Realtime transcoding for streaming. Implements the Subsonic API for compatibility.
Relies on MusicBrainz Identifiers in the ID3 metadata.
UI-less tool to connect Android phone with desktop. Copy files to and from your mobile. For use with the Device Connect application from the F-Droid appstore (https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/net.dcnnt/).
Fast, typo tolerant search engine for building delightful search experiences. Has an API and a number of protocol modules for different languages. Written in C and C++.
Designed for people who don't want to fuck with Elasticsearch, they just want a document search engine. Lightweight, powerful, scalable. Tries to have smart defaults. Single executable. Uses far less memory than the usual Java-based search systems do. Tries to be flexible so you can build the search engine you need.
Looks like you define a JSON document with the stuff you want to be able to search and throw it over to the engine. Means you'll need to write some front-end tooling to extract the data you want to index, which might not be that big a deal. It could just be some shell scripts.
NymphCast is a software solution which turns your choice of Linux-capable hardware into an audio and video source for a television or powered speakers. It enables the streaming of audio and video over the network from a wide range of client devices, as well as the streaming of internet media to a NymphCast server, controlled by a client device.
In addition, the server supports powerful NymphCast apps written in AngelScript to extend the overall NymphCast functionality with e.g. 3rd party audio / video streaming protocol support on the server side, and cross-platform control panels served to the client application that integrate with the overall client experience.
NymphCast requires at least the server application to run on a target device, while the full functionality is provided in conjunction with a remote control device:.

Mystic BBS was conceived around the year 1995 when the author became frustrated by the lack of customization available with Renegade BBS, and first released to the public in late 1997 during a period when many BBS packages were seeing a decline (or a full stop) in development. Mystic is developed from the ground up with all original source code and is intended to be the spiritual successor to both Telegard and Renegade.
Mystic has internal Telnet, RLOGIN, SSH, NNTP, POP3, SMTP, FTP, HTTP and BINKP servers while continuing to focus on and enhance the SysOp and user experience.
Supports Linux on multiple platforms natively (including the RasPi).
Supports Renegade-style MCI codes. Full support for QWK and echomail. Up to 255 users simultaneously. IRC-like BBS chat. Has its own scripting language (MPL) and supports Python for writing addons. Built in admin tools, including moderation and blocking.
A simple, self-contained implementation of XMPP in Go. Has a small XMPP server for testing, debugging, and probably mocking. Designed to be pluggable and extensible. Supports just a few XEPs so it's probably not general purpose right now.
