IT-Tools

IT-Tools is a collection of handy online tools for developers.

Description

It provides a wide variety of web-based tools, including formatters (JSON, SQL, XML), generators (UUID, Password, QR Code), and converters. It is designed to be fast and runs entirely in the browser.

When to use it

  • When you need quick access to common developer utilities (formatters, generators, converters) without leaving the browser.
  • For a lightweight, self-hostable set of tools that doesn't require complex installation.

When not to use it

  • For complex data processing that requires a specialized CLI or heavy-duty offline tool.
  • When dealing with extremely large datasets that may crash a browser-based tool.

Getting started

Docker

The easiest way to run IT-Tools locally is via Docker:

docker run -d --name it-tools --restart unless-stopped -p 8080:80 corentinth/it-tools:latest

Usage

  1. Open http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
  2. Select a tool from the sidebar or search for one using the search bar (e.g., "JSON Formatter").
  3. Paste your data into the input field and see the results instantly.

CLI examples

Since IT-Tools runs in the browser, CLI interactions are primarily for managing the container:

# View container logs
docker logs it-tools

# Restart the IT-Tools container
docker restart it-tools

# Check the version by inspecting the image
docker inspect --format='{{index .Config.Labels "org.opencontainers.image.version"}}' corentinth/it-tools:latest
