✨ obsolete ✨

But hey, look on the bright side - not only will we tell you when it was retired, but we will let you know how old it was when the cruel cruel obsolete gods took it. If you're lucky, there might even be a replacement app for the service you wanted. That's even rarer than a printer that works on the first try.

Pro tip: Refreshing won't help, but sacrificing your third born whilst dancing in front of your monitor might.

Roundcube Logo

Roundcube

Retired on 23rd Oct 2025
Inaccessible as of 03/11/2025

Replacement: No formal replacement

What it did: Roundcube was an experimental email client that was briefly experimented with.

Why it got retired: Roundcube simply did not make enough sense to keep online, it did not replace mailcows UI, and was just another app, as such it was unfortunately retired the same day it was introduced.

Age when formally retired: 0 days

Pterodactyl Logo

Pterodactyl

Retired on 27th Oct 2025

Replacement: Pelican

What it did: Pterodactyl was a game server management UI, commanding several "wings", and making management and creation much easier than manual configuration.

Why it got retired: Pterodactyl started life on the wrong foot. Very complex, and without any SSO integration capabilities. Whilst the app itself worked fine, and lived through the first 3 major identity changes on the network, its survival was short-lived, and replaced by Pelican, simply for its SSO integrations.

Age when formally retired: 32 days

Pihole Logo

Pihole

Retired on 3rd Nov 2025
Inaccessible as of 03/11/2025

Replacement: Technitium

What it did: Pihole was never put into production, due to acting primarily as an adblocker, not a true DNS provider.

Why it got retired: Although installed and configured, Pihole simply did not act as a full DNS provider, as the project required at the time..

Age when formally retired: 12 days

Adguard Home Logo

Adguard Home

Retired on 3rd Nov 2025
Inaccessible as of 03/11/2025

Replacement: Technitium

What it did: Adguard was never put into production, due to acting primarily as an adblocker, not a true DNS provider.

Why it got retired: Although installed and configured, Adguard Home simply did not act as a full DNS provider, as the project required at the time.

Age when formally retired: 12 days

Keycloak Logo

Keycloak

Retired on 3rd Nov 2025
Inaccessible as of 03/11/2025

Replacement: Authentik

What it did: Keycloak was intended to be used as an SSO/2FA provider for applications, however heavily enterprise focused.

Why it got retired: Due to Keycloaks strong enterprise focus, it made it hard and unreasonable for a single person to create and manage applications on it, hence it was replaced by authentik, which while less powerful is easier to setup.

Age when formally retired: 12 days

Obsoletelabs Logo

Obsoletelabs

Retired on 17th Mar 1987
Inaccessible as of 13/07/1997

Replacement: Not made public

What it did: Unknown. Some sources indicate they provided support to obsolete hardware, software, and firmware. Urban lengend says they were responsible for items becoming obsolete.

Why it got retired: Unknown. It is hypothesised that a lack of funds, and an inexperienced marketing director caused the division to fall out of agency favour, and was a victim of its own purpose.

Age when formally retired: 71 years and 154 days
