Open your stack Build you succesful stack-house (!) from the ground up by Alessio Biancalana 

IaaS 

AWS Amazon Web Services. Well, it's Amazon Web Services, do I really need to talk? Proprietary code, open code, a bunch of it all, mashed up. 

OpenStack OpenStack is a software stack to set up your cloud. You can host it by yourself too; a vendor is Rackspace. 

OpenStack A tasty recipe :) • A bunch of servers • A brave sysadmin (or a team of heroes) • Bandwidth 

OpenStack Contributors? • Red Hat • Canonical • Intel • Rackspace 

PaaS 

Nodester Nodester is a nice PaaS software for Node.js. The team recently joined AppFog, so we can say: yes, AppFog' software is open. 

Nodejitsu Nodejitsu is a Node.js PaaS available in open way. And well, they are my friends :) 

Nodejitsu $ npm install jitsu -g Write, and deploy $ jitsu deploy 

Code Hosting 

Gitorious Gitorious is a code hosting solution similar to GitHub. It is totally open but, well, code hosting outsourcing is not always the best practice. 

Gitorious • Project hosting (obviously) • Activity monitoring • Merge requests are public • Wiki(s) • Team up! Teaming features • Project-centric 

GitLab GitLab is a gitolite frontend and git management web-app you can install on your machine. It's useful if you are building an in-house repository system for a/your company. 

GitLab cd /home/git/gitlab # Copy the example GitLab config sudo -u git -H cp config/gitlab.yml.example config/gitlab.yml sudo -u git -H vim config/gitlab.yml sudo chown -R git log/ sudo chown -R git tmp/ sudo -u git -H mkdir /home/git/gitlab-satellites sudo -u git -H mkdir tmp/pids/ sudo -u git -H mkdir tmp/sockets/ sudo chmod -R u+rwX tmp/pids/ sudo chmod -R u+rwX tmp/sockets/ sudo -u git -H mkdir public/uploads Sometimes it can be a pain the ass.
