IT Tools

beginner

Useful tools for developers and IT professionals.

Overview

IT Tools is a comprehensive web-based collection of utility tools designed specifically for developers, system administrators, and IT professionals. Created by Corentin Th, this open-source project consolidates dozens of commonly needed utilities into a single, offline-capable interface, eliminating the need to search for and bookmark multiple online tools. The platform includes hash generators, encoders/decoders, formatters, converters, network utilities, and text manipulation tools that developers use daily. This Docker deployment provides a self-hosted instance of IT Tools, giving teams complete control over their utility toolkit while ensuring data privacy and offline availability. Unlike scattered online utilities that may compromise sensitive data, running IT Tools locally means your API keys, configuration files, and proprietary data never leave your infrastructure. The containerized approach makes it perfect for development teams, security-conscious organizations, and anyone who needs reliable access to developer utilities without internet dependencies or privacy concerns.

Key Features

Hash generation tools supporting MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, and other cryptographic algorithms
Base64, URL, HTML, and JWT encoding/decoding utilities with real-time conversion
JSON, XML, YAML, and SQL formatters with syntax highlighting and validation
Network utilities including IP address lookups, CIDR calculators, and port scanners
Text manipulation tools for case conversion, regex testing, and diff comparison
QR code generators and barcode readers for mobile integration workflows
Color palette tools with hex, RGB, HSL converters and accessibility checkers
Timestamp converters supporting Unix epochs, ISO formats, and timezone calculations

Common Use Cases

1Development teams needing offline access to encoding utilities during air-gapped deployments
2Security auditors requiring local hash verification tools for sensitive file analysis
3System administrators managing network configurations with CIDR and IP calculation tools
4API developers testing JWT tokens and JSON formatting without external dependencies
5DevOps engineers creating QR codes for deployment URLs and configuration sharing
6Code reviewers using diff tools and regex testers for merge request analysis
7Compliance teams ensuring data privacy by avoiding third-party online utilities

Prerequisites

Docker Engine 20.10+ and Docker Compose V2 for container orchestration
Minimum 512MB RAM allocation for smooth web interface performance
Port 8080 available on the host system for web interface access
Basic understanding of web-based utilities and developer tool workflows
Network access to Docker Hub for initial image download (offline afterward)
Modern web browser with JavaScript enabled for full functionality

For development & testing. Review security settings, change default credentials, and test thoroughly before production use. See Terms

Troubleshooting

Interface loads but tools don't respond: Clear browser cache and localStorage, then refresh the page
Hash generators producing incorrect results: Ensure input text encoding is UTF-8 and check for hidden characters
JSON formatter showing syntax errors: Validate JSON structure and remove trailing commas or comments
QR code generator not displaying: Check browser permissions for canvas/image rendering and disable ad blockers
Port 8080 connection refused: Verify no other services are using the port with 'netstat -tulpn | grep 8080'
Container exits immediately: Check Docker logs for permission errors and ensure sufficient system resources
