This article lists all open-source components integrated into the GeneralBots system through the `PackageManager` installer. Each component is registered automatically and downloaded from verified open-source repositories, ensuring transparency, security, and extensibility throughout the platform.
The foundation of GeneralBots relies on several battle-tested open-source infrastructure components that handle data persistence, caching, and search capabilities.
PostgreSQL provides the relational database storage layer for bot data and user sessions. The system uses binaries from [theseus-rs/postgresql-binaries](https://github.com/theseus-rs/postgresql-binaries) and operates under the PostgreSQL License, which is fully open source.
Valkey serves as the in-memory caching system, providing Redis-compatible functionality for high-performance data access. Available from [valkey.io](https://valkey.io), it operates under the BSD 3-Clause license, making it suitable for both commercial and open-source deployments.
For file management and object storage, GeneralBots integrates MinIO from [min.io](https://min.io). This S3-compatible storage solution enables seamless file operations and is licensed under AGPLv3.
The vector similarity search engine Qdrant, available from [qdrant/qdrant](https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant), powers embeddings and AI indexing capabilities. This Apache 2.0 licensed component enables semantic search and AI-driven document retrieval.
GeneralBots incorporates cutting-edge AI components that enable local inference and intelligent processing without requiring external API dependencies.
Local LLM inference for both chat and embedding models is handled by LLaMA.cpp from [ggml-org/llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp). This MIT-licensed component enables the system to run language models directly on the host machine, providing privacy and reduced latency.
Open models for reasoning and embeddings are sourced from [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co). These models provide state-of-the-art capabilities for natural language understanding and are available under Apache 2.0 or MIT licenses depending on the specific model selected.
For email functionality, GeneralBots integrates the Stalwart mail server from [stalwartlabs/stalwart](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart). This full-featured mail server supports SMTP, IMAP, and POP3 protocols, operating under the AGPLv3 license.
Caddy from [caddyserver/caddy](https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy) serves as the reverse proxy and web server, providing automatic HTTPS certificate management. This Apache 2.0 licensed component simplifies secure web deployment.
Internal and external name resolution is handled by CoreDNS from [coredns/coredns](https://github.com/coredns/coredns). This flexible DNS server operates under the Apache 2.0 license and integrates seamlessly with the rest of the infrastructure.
Identity and access management is powered by Zitadel from [zitadel/zitadel](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel). This Apache 2.0 licensed system provides comprehensive user management, authentication, and authorization capabilities.
Git-based project management and CI/CD capabilities come from Forgejo, available at [codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo). This AGPLv3 licensed platform enables teams to manage code and automate deployments.
Continuous integration pipelines are executed by the Forgejo Runner from [forgejo/runner](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner). This AGPLv3 licensed component handles build and deployment automation tasks.
Web-based email access is provided by Roundcube from [roundcube/roundcubemail](https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail). This GPLv3 licensed client offers a familiar interface for managing email through the browser.
Real-time video conferencing and media capabilities are powered by LiveKit from [livekit/livekit](https://github.com/livekit/livekit). This Apache 2.0 licensed component enables high-quality video meetings and streaming.
For database visualization and management, GeneralBots integrates NocoDB from [nocodb/nocodb](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb). This GPLv3 licensed tool provides an Airtable-like interface for working with structured data.
Collaborative document editing is enabled through Collabora Online from [CollaboraOnline/online](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online). The `coolwsd` service provides browser-based document editing under the MPL 2.0 license.
A lightweight remote desktop environment is provided through XFCE from [xfce.org](https://xfce.org) combined with XRDP from [xrdp.org](https://xrdp.org). These GPLv2 licensed components enable graphical remote access to the system.
Essential developer utilities including Git, Curl, and Xclip are bundled with the platform. These tools, available under GPL, MIT, and BSD licenses respectively, support automation and scripting workflows.
Container and virtualization management is handled by LXD from [linuxcontainers/lxd](https://github.com/lxc/lxd). This Apache 2.0 licensed component enables isolated environments for bot deployment and testing.
Every component integrated into GeneralBots is fully open-source, ensuring that users have complete transparency into the system's operation. This commitment to open-source software provides security through community review, extensibility through standard interfaces, and freedom from vendor lock-in. Together, these components form a cohesive ecosystem that supports AI automation, secure communication, persistent storage, and seamless collaboration.
