What is IT Tools?
IT Tools is a set of everyday developer utilities — encoders, converters, generators, formatters, cron builders, hash calculators, JWT decoders and more — in one clean interface.
Everything runs client-side in the browser, so the values you paste in are not sent anywhere, which is the reason to host it yourself rather than use a public equivalent.
What you get
- Encoders and decoders for Base64, URL, HTML, JWT and more
- Generators for UUIDs, passwords, hashes, QR codes and tokens
- Formatters and validators for JSON, YAML, SQL, XML
- Converters for dates, colours, cron expressions and number bases
Running IT Tools on Autogineer Cloud
IT Tools is a one-click install here: choose it at checkout, set a root password, and the server is built, the software installed and configured, and published on its own HTTPS address — usually in about a minute, with the whole build streamed to your browser as it runs.
- Installed and configured, not just downloaded. The build finishes only once IT Tools is answering on its port with a real page — a server that could not finish is reported as failed rather than handed over looking complete.
- A working HTTPS address from the first minute. Your server is published at an address like ittools-vps.autogineer.com, with a valid certificate, so webhooks and OAuth callbacks work immediately. Your own domain can be added afterwards.
- Full root over SSH. The one-click install is a starting point, not a cage: you can reconfigure IT Tools, install anything beside it, or replace it entirely.
- Backups you can restore from. On-demand backups of the whole server on every paid plan, which for IT Tools means its data as well as its configuration.
- Room to grow. Resize the plan as IT Tools grows, or rebuild the same server with a different app when the project changes.
Who it suits
Any developer who regularly pastes a token or a config fragment into a random website and would rather not.
Getting started with IT Tools
- When the build finishes, your server's page in the dashboard shows its HTTPS address, its root password and any sign-in details the installer set for IT Tools. The build console streams every step as it happens, so you can see exactly what was installed rather than taking it on trust.
- There is no sign-in. Pick a tool from the sidebar and use it — everything runs in your browser, so nothing you paste in is sent to the server or stored anywhere.
- Add your own domain from the same page when you are ready: point a DNS record at the server and the certificate is issued for you. The original address keeps working, so nothing you configured against it breaks.
- Take a backup once IT Tools is configured the way you want it. A backup captures the whole server, so restoring one brings back IT Tools and its data together — and it is the only thing that will bring them back.
Frequently asked questions
Does it send my data to the server?
No. The tools execute in your browser; the server only delivers the page. That is the security argument for self-hosting it.
Is there a login?
No, and nothing is stored. If you need it private, restrict access with the firewall.
How long does it take to install IT Tools?
About a minute. Choosing IT Tools at checkout builds the server, installs it, and publishes it on an HTTPS address, streaming the progress to your browser as it happens.
What size server does IT Tools need?
At least 1 vCPU, 1 GB of memory and 10 GB of disk, which is the Starter plan or larger. These are the figures the installer is tested against rather than the smallest configuration that will boot.
Do I get root access to the server?
Yes. Every server includes full root access over SSH on its own port, so you can configure, extend or replace anything the one-click installer set up.
Can I use my own domain with IT Tools?
Yes. Each server is published on its own HTTPS address the moment it is built — ittools-vps.autogineer.com for example, and you can point your own domain at it afterwards from the dashboard.
