Jim, your videos are amazing. I have learned a lot from you. In this case I'm happy to see that for once I am ahead of you and have been using IT-Tools for a while :) Thank you for your amazing videos and tutorials.
I think CyberChef has more tools available. And it allows you to chain multiple tools together. But IT-Tools is definitely more accessible. I just installed it in my homelab and gave the link to the QR code generator to my girlfriend. Now she doesn't have to use dodgy websites to do that.
@@Jims-Garage the core maintainer is very inactive in this project. They have a lot of open PR's adding new tools that have been waiting months to be merged/reviewed. Some have forked the project to implement and release those tools.
its great set of tools that use regularly, but i could not find any reason to selfhost it. privacy would be one, but if the hosted app would be leaking or collecting information so could the selfhosted version too.
Short question here from my side: Does it have an API to interface with? I have a couple of use cases especially for the QR Part where I'd like to digitize them and have them be printed out via an API request to the service for example. Would be nice if IT-Tools had something like an API so that you are not forced to use the GUI in terminal only environments if you know what I mean :)
still watching this one but you talked about Traefik 3... PLEASE include how to get Jellyfin working behind Traefik 3.. i can get to the Jellyfin Web interface but i can't get any playback to work.
Great video, I've been using it for a bit now too. Quick question. Why not use the Stack function in Portainer to manage the Compose file? I'm still getting started, and I was putting my compose files in the Stacks section, but I don't see many using that. Just wondering why.
I prefer to keep it isolated and agnostic. No reason why you can't use Portainer though. I like the fact that I can deploy everything with a single command from the CLI.
Rather bad experience, stopped the container, but the page in Chrome was still working, even on the old port that I was trying first... Developer tools shows that it opens a page with with the tools on a page running online... None of my other locally running container behaved like this...
I’d never enter sensitive information into a converter on a website in the first place but playing devils advocate, why can we place trust in this (or any future updates to it)? I agree it’s going to be a lot safer than using a website but I’d still be reluctant to enter any particularly sensitive info- passwords, private keys etc
Had this up and running by the time the video ended (at 2x speed hahah)! Thank you!!!!!
@@JGrffn you're welcome 😁
Thank you so much for sharing this! I don't think I've ever deployed a new app into my homelab as fast as when you started demoing this
@@dmynerd78 agreed, it's awesome!
Can confirm, this is definitely something I needed.
Thanks!
Very kind, thanks
This is awesome. All I miss is a way to create favorites and have them on the top of the list….
Never heard of this but I need like 5 of these tools every day
I was in exactly the same position!
Lol same like 5 maybe 6 but you know it's homelab so "Self-Host Everything"😂
Really nice. I do a lot of this from within Emacs but this is going to still be very handy and self-hosted is highly recommended.
Brilliant! thanks for sharing. I hope a RegEx tool is in a future release.
Great tool!!! Thanks and congrats for another tutorial!
@@anibalandrade754 appreciate it, credit to the developer
Thank you for sharing, I just finished setting this up and will differently be a handy tool to have!!
@@vanessasky3837 I've used it a ton already
Watched installed by the runtime of the video amazing thanks :)
@@shodanki3736 great 👍
Nice one. I’ve known about this one for a while. Quite handy although i’ve not deployed it yet. Might do later :) great stuff Jim. Keep it up.
@@elements88xyz thanks
Thanks for the demo and tip jim, have a great day
@@chrisumali9841 thanks, chris
That VSC Run tab is pretty cool
@@SB-qm5wg yes, just noticed that
just installed this is awesome
@@zenaustere agree! Kudos to the Dev

Thanks, that's great - there's so much out there to learn...
Where have you been? I needed you two years ago
@@Squirrel4Gir better late than never!
Nice 👍 never heard of this before, now got it running in Portainer too
Good to hear!
Great stuff, mate! I do use it too and it is awesome.
Don't know how I've lived without it!
@@Jims-Garage if you could call it a living :P
Awesome I will try it.
Ive been trying to set up pterodactyl in truenas kinda a pain. Lol . But now you got me sidetracked
This is amazing, Thanks!!!!
Glad you like it! Kudos to the Dev
Nice find and great video. I think these tools could save me hours of searching the web on how to do stuff.
Definitely! Me too, save me having to remember a million commands.
Ah, I’m already using it 🎉
Love it!!! Having this knife swiss is unvaluable to me! Thanks for sharing, will definitly install it
You're welcome!
I've used Cyber Chef before, but this seems to have more tools available.
Interesting, I'll have to take a look at it, thanks.

Thanks for sharing - a good find.
is it possible to config this to sit behind AuthN/AuthZ user management / login ?
Amazing stuff! I need to install it in my Kubernetes cluster I run locally. Any ideas if you can extend it?
@@igordasunddas3377 I don't think natively, but I guess you could commit something

@@demorez5 true, but at least you can control that with a firewall if you wanted to.
Just perfect. Thank you and the authors!
Agree, fantastic tool
Can’t wait for that trafiek 3 vid!
It's in the works. Hopefully by the end of the week.

@@playeronthebeat that would be awesome, but I don't think it does.
@@Jims-Garage That's unfortunate! :/
Thanks. I’ll check it out. If you’re behind, I’m unborn
Haha 😂
Thanks for this!
My pleasure!
still watching this one but you talked about Traefik 3... PLEASE include how to get Jellyfin working behind Traefik 3.. i can get to the Jellyfin Web interface but i can't get any playback to work.
Sure, I'll do Traefik v3 and use Jellyfin as the example.
@@Jims-Garage Sorry it was me. I was the problem.. it was my /etc/fstab that was incorrect.. needed to add ",vers=3.0" to get it to work..
@emanuelpersson3168 great, glad you fixed it
What a coincidence, installed it yesterday!
Great minds ;)
Discord link seems broken?
Hmm, works ok for me. Double check it.
Issue was with discord and not with your link. Sign out and back in before using your invite worked 👌

Seems in the same line as CyberChef
Yes, it's very similar, albeit I prefer the UI and dark mode.
Bravo friend- grateful 🙏🥰✌️
Already saved me a ton of time!
CyberChef is the best thing to host tool wise imo. Especially for netsec people.
Who knows, it might be next... 😉
Can't mention IT Tools without mentioning cyberchef!
@@MMedic23 agreed, coming soon

@@georgec2932 you could block all egress traffic from it if you wanted
A swiss army knife indeed. Thanks!
It's ace!
I wish it had linux command collection. It’s hard to remember some commands if I don’t use them daily.
Are you sure ?
I run a homelab, and I don't need any of these tools.
Shame it is Docker shit and not a PHP script
It's 2025 not 2005, what's wrong with Docker?
thank you i know it now
ai chatbots can do a lot of those now, especially ones with agents support that can run code in background (like gemini-2.0 thinking model)
True, just depends if you need privacy for certain things
