Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

With over 31,000 GitHub stars and 430 contributors, Homepage has become the definitive self-hosted dashboard for homelab enthusiasts and server administrators who want a single, elegant landing page for all their services. The dashboard renders as a fully static site at build time for instant page loads, while a Node.js backend securely proxies all API requests to prevent exposing service credentials to the browser. Docker integration automatically discovers running containers through label-based configuration, populating the dashboard with service status indicators, health checks, and real-time statistics without manual URL entry. Over 100 native service widgets display live data from popular applications including Plex, Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, Home Assistant, Pi-hole, Portainer, Proxmox, Nextcloud, Gitea, and dozens more, each showing relevant metrics like active streams, download queues, or system health directly on the dashboard. Information widgets provide weather forecasts, system resource utilization, search bars, and date/time displays. The layout system supports multiple columns, tabs, and custom CSS for pixel-perfect arrangement of service groups and bookmarks. Built-in authentication options include OIDC integration and password protection. Quick search functionality enables instant access to bookmarks and services with keyboard shortcuts. Internationalization covers 40+ languages with community-maintained translations. Configuration lives entirely in YAML files for version-controlled, reproducible dashboard setups. Deploy on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console for complete control. GPL-3.0 licensed with an active community and bi-weekly releases.

Every service you run, behind one polished start page: Dashy is the most customizable homelab dashboard, built as a Vue.js homepage. Configuration lives in a single YAML file, but you never have to hand-edit it: an integrated UI editor with real-time validation writes changes back to disk, so both config-as-code and point-and-click camps are served. Status indicators put a live health dot next to every app - HTTP checks or pings on custom intervals, with response time and status details on hover - giving you an at-a-glance uptime overview before anything breaks. Over 50 built-in widgets pull dynamic content from the services you already run: Pi-hole and AdGuard block stats, Proxmox lists, Nextcloud status, Netdata CPU/memory history, Prometheus data, plus weather, RSS, crypto prices, and generic iframe/API-response widgets for anything with an endpoint. Instant fuzzy search launches any app as you type, with customizable hotkeys and web-search fallthrough. Theming is deep: dozens of built-in themes, a UI color palette editor, and custom CSS over CSS variables. Alternate views include a fast-loading minimal startpage and a workspace view that embeds apps side-by-side without leaving the dashboard. Icons resolve from Font Awesome, homelab icon packs, emojis, or auto-fetched favicons. Built-in authentication, multi-page support, cloud backup/sync, and multi-language round out an MIT project with a massive community.

A single pane of glass for every service you run, arranged by drag-and-drop with no YAML or JSON files: Homarr is the modern dashboard for self-hosted infrastructure. Its grid system arranges apps, widgets, and bookmarks on desktop or touch, backed by an icon picker with over 11,000 icons. What separates Homarr from static launchers is 50+ live integrations: Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby media stats, the *arr suite (Sonarr, Radarr) with a unified release calendar, download clients, Pi-hole and AdGuard Home controls, Proxmox, Home Assistant, OPNsense, and Unifi monitoring. Widgets update in real time over WebSockets (tRPC and Redis under the hood), and a built-in search queries thousands of data points across connected services. Custom widgets extend the reach to any HTTP API without code: define endpoint, auth, and refresh interval in the management UI, then render responses as stat grids, tables, progress bars, status indicators, action buttons, or full custom JSX layouts - with an AI-prompt helper for generating templates. Multi-user support is first-class: credentials, OIDC, or LDAP sign-on, groups with granular permissions, and secrets encrypted with AES-256-CBC. A robust background-job system scales it from a Raspberry Pi homelab to deployments serving hundreds of users.

"Dead simple static HOMepage for your servER" - Homer's name is the spec. It is a fully static HTML/JS dashboard driven by one YAML file (assets/config.yml): list your services in groups with names, icons, tags, and URLs, and Homer renders a clean, fast landing page for everything you self-host. Because there is no backend, no database, and nothing to maintain, the container is tiny and effectively zero-maintenance - the entire operational surface is a text file you can version-control alongside your infrastructure. Despite the minimalism, the feature set is genuinely useful: smart cards add live data to service tiles via a type key - Pi-hole block statistics, AdGuard Home status, Jellyfin activity, Gatus and Home Assistant states, and dozens more integrations, with configurable periodic refresh. Fuzzy search jumps to any service as you type, keyboard shortcuts drive navigation, and multi-page support with item grouping keeps large homelabs organized. Theming covers built-in light and dark modes plus full custom CSS, tags get color-coded styles, and the whole dashboard installs as a PWA on phones and tablets. Icons come from Font Awesome or your own images. If Dashy is the maximalist dashboard and Homarr the drag-and-drop one, Homer is the minimalist: one YAML file, instant loads, and nothing that can break at 2 a.m.

A server full of scattered services becomes one clean application hub under Flame - a self-hosted startpage where every bit of configuration happens in built-in GUI editors, never a config file. Applications and bookmarks are created, edited, and organized into categories directly in the browser, and favorites pin to the homescreen for one-click access. The integrated search bar filters your apps and bookmarks locally as you type, and prefix shortcuts (like /g for Google) route queries to any of 11 web search providers or custom ones you define, making Flame a genuine browser homepage rather than a static link wall. Docker integration is the standout for homelabs: mount the Docker socket, add flame.type, flame.name, and flame.url labels to containers, and new services appear on the dashboard automatically - Kubernetes Ingress annotations work the same way. A weather widget shows temperature, cloud coverage, and animated conditions for your coordinates, and password authentication protects settings and items. Appearance is deeply customizable with 15 built-in color themes, a custom theme builder, and full custom CSS support. The stack is Node.js with SQLite behind a React frontend - light, fast, and inspired by the minimalist SUI design.

Every homelab outgrows the browser bookmark folder, and Compass answers by building the front page for you, discovering your services automatically instead of asking you to maintain cards by hand. Point it at Docker, Kubernetes, Tailscale, Headscale, NetBird, DNS records, a JSON API, or a plain static list, and it renders everything it finds as a searchable directory with icons, descriptions, and tags filled in from a catalog when a source leaves them blank. Each card shows whether the service is actually up, using the Prometheus or Gatus monitor you already run, and pinned and recent services keep daily tools one click away. Opening a service reveals its connection details, source metadata, extra links such as runbooks and health endpoints, and panels you embed from Grafana. Markdown pages live beside the directory, so architecture notes and on-call runbooks sit in the same navigation, with live service cards and charts embedded directly inside the prose. A debug view shows per-source health, what each source returned, and why a service you expected is missing, while group-based access decides which sources each person can see.

Cairn gives the people you host services for one calm directory page that explains each service in plain language and shows whether it works right now. Your family does not want another dashboard; they want to know what this thing is and what to click. Group tools by need, write a welcome note in your own words, and give each service a Learn more page that explains whom to ask for an account. Status comes from the monitor you already run, Gatus, Uptime Kuma, Cachet, or a hosted status page, polled by your server so a visitor's browser never has to call anything. Labels say honestly where a service stands: coming soon, beta, new, deprecated, or retired, with dead links removed for the last two. Search finds the one service by name from anywhere on the page, eight shipped languages plus your own inline translations cover the relatives abroad, and legal notice and privacy pages are served by Cairn itself, because self-hosters never have anywhere to put those. The whole directory is one YAML file and a five-megabyte image. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.

Every homelab deserves a control center that looks as good as the services it manages. Lab Dash gives you a customizable, drag-and-drop dashboard where every tile earns its spot. Add shortcut widgets linking to your Plex, Grafana, Nextcloud, or any service with automatic health check indicators showing green or red status at a glance. The system monitoring widget displays real-time CPU usage, memory consumption, network throughput, disk utilization, and temperature readings by mounting the host /sys directory as a read-only volume. Integrate Pi-hole stats, qBittorrent download progress, and media server widgets for Jellyfin, Plex, or Emby directly on your grid. Multiple pages let you organize services by category, and the search bar finds any tile instantly. Customize the background image from a local upload or URL, set a custom title and tab name, and choose your preferred search provider including self-hosted options like SearXNG. All sensitive configuration data is encrypted locally with AES-256-CBC, and only administrator accounts can modify the layout. Install Lab Dash as a Progressive Web App on desktop, phone, or tablet for a native app experience with offline capability. Configurations export as backup files for easy migration between instances. On RepoCloud, deploy Lab Dash on a dedicated VPS with root SSH access and Docker socket connectivity under the GPL-3.0 license.

Drop a single container onto your host to launch Iso, a minimalist self-hosted startpage and service launcher that organizes every homelab web application behind a clean isometric icon grid and integrated search bar. No external database is required. Everything lives inside one human-readable JSON file or gets edited directly through the in-browser visual configuration modal. Add new service tiles in seconds, drag to reorder their display priority, and pick from a curated library of 3D isometric icons or upload custom graphics up to 25 megabytes. Switch instantly between built-in color palettes like Amethyst or upload a custom wallpaper with adjustable background blur and opacity sliders. A central search bar sits at the top of your startpage, routing queries directly to Google, DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Qwant, Searx, Bing, or any custom query URL template. Localize the interface into English, Spanish, French, or German with a single toggle. Custom greeting banners and optional page-load animations personalize the daily browsing experience for family members or lab users. Protect the dashboard and its visual editor behind shared password authentication configured via environment variables.

Monitoring dozens of self-hosted containers, RSS feeds, and web services from a single customizable startpage becomes effortless with Dynacat, a dynamic dashboard engine driven by declarative YAML configuration and live data widgets. You can arrange multi-tab layouts in the browser-based visual editor by dragging widgets across columns and picking color themes, and Dynacat automatically writes every adjustment back to your configuration file. Built-in widgets aggregate RSS and Atom feeds, Reddit communities, Hacker News, Lobste.rs, YouTube channel uploads, Twitch streams, weather forecasts, stock and crypto market tickers, and software releases across GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, and Docker Hub. Homelab operators can inspect and control Docker containers, track server CPU, memory, and disk mountpoints, monitor AdGuard Home or Pi-hole DNS statistics, view Sonarr and Radarr release calendars, and manage torrents across qBittorrent, Deluge, and Transmission from one screen. For custom services, the visual widget builder connects to any JSON endpoint and binds UI blocks to response fields without manual template coding, while the Dynawidgets catalog imports community widgets with a single slug. Every widget refreshes independently on its own schedule and exposes cached data through a local JSON API, with OpenID Connect group rules securing private admin pages.

Nimbus is a self-hosted homelab dashboard that turns your scattered pile of services into a polished, organized command center with real-time health monitoring for every endpoint you care about. The dashboard displays live status cards for each registered service, tracking response times down to the millisecond and graphing uptime history so you can spot degradation before it becomes an outage. Health checks run on configurable intervals with smart self-signed certificate handling, meaning your internal services with self-issued TLS do not trigger false alarms. Multi-user support comes standard: local accounts authenticate via JWT, while OAuth2 integration with Google, GitHub, and Discord lets team members sign in with existing credentials. Role-based access control and a built-in admin panel give you granular authority over who sees what. Each user personalizes their view with custom backgrounds, light or dark mode, accent color themes, and drag-and-drop service tile arrangement. Services group into named categories and cards resize to fit your preferred layout, with both grid and list view modes available. Prometheus metrics export feeds your existing Grafana stack, and webhook notifications alert you instantly when a service goes offline. Custom service icons upload directly or auto-fetch from the Dashboard Icons collection. Zero-config Docker deployment gets you running in under 30 seconds with a single docker-compose command. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

"Get to your most important links, FAST" - Hiccup's README states its whole mission in that one line, and the static start page delivers it. It is a client-side React single-page app - no backend, no database, no accounts - driven entirely by a config.json that defines featured link cards, categorized sections, and search providers. The search bar is the power feature: it queries your own links by name, URL, and tag while simultaneously offering external providers like Google, DuckDuckGo, and Amazon (plus custom URL-template providers you define), with arrow-key navigation and Enter to launch, so muscle memory replaces mousing. Editing happens in the browser - drag and drop links and background images, tweak cards in edit mode - with changes persisting to localStorage; a built-in config manager exports the JSON for hosting, and remote profile loading pulls a shared config across every browser and device you use. Multiple profiles keep home-server, work, and dev-tool link sets separate. PWA support installs it on a phone home screen, caching strategies keep it fast offline, read-only mode suits kiosk displays, and Cmd/Ctrl+/ reveals the full hotkey reference. Serve it from any static host and point your new tab at it.

Neonlink is the bookmark page you actually keep open: a private dashboard of your links, grouped, tagged, and dressed up with your own background. Adding a link takes seconds because the title, description, and site icon are fetched for you the moment you paste the URL. Links live in groups you create and color yourself, so work tools, reading, and projects each get their own card on the page, and drag and drop puts them in the order your eyes expect. Tags cut across groups for the links that belong to two worlds at once, and the sidebar can filter by them in combination. Search covers titles, URLs, descriptions, and tags and updates as you type, which matters once the collection passes the few hundred links every browser bookmark bar quietly becomes. The whole page is yours visually too: pick a background image and switch between grid and list layouts, light and dark themes. Because it sits behind a login on your own server, the collection follows you to any browser on any machine without syncing through a browser vendor's cloud or handing your reading habits to a bookmarking service.

Follow every blog, newsletter, and news site you like from one distraction-free inbox with the self-hosted Fusion RSS reader, which has no AI features by design. A left sidebar lists feed groups with unread counts and jumps between Unread, Starred, and All, while the center list shows articles under filter tabs with read and star buttons on every card. Click a card and a right-hand drawer opens with the full sanitized article, a link to the original, and Previous and Next buttons. Press Cmd or Ctrl+K, or the slash key, to search feeds and articles from anywhere. Stay on the keyboard with Google Reader-style keys such as j and k to move, m to mark read, s to star, and g then u to jump to Unread; the question mark lists them all. Add a feed by entering a site address and letting auto-discovery find it, then pick its group, refresh frequency, and HTTP proxy, or suspend it to pause updates. OPML import and export bring subscriptions in or out. Starred articles are saved as snapshots that outlive their source feed. Fever API compatibility lets Reeder, Unread, and FeedMe read the same library. Sign in with a password or OIDC single sign-on, and install the interface as a PWA with Light, Dark, and System themes in eight languages. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Most RSS readers hand you a pile of headlines and make you do the reading; FeedMe reads first and hands you the pile already digested. It aggregates every feed you configure into one clean, ranked stream, and for each article an LLM writes a short summary you can scan in seconds, with the full original text one tab away when a story earns a deeper look. Sources organize into categories like Tech News, Finance News, Personal Blogs, Company Blogs, Open Source, Research, and Podcasts, and a global search finds stories across all of them. The reader never sleeps on stale content: a built-in cron refreshes feeds and regenerates summaries on your schedule (every three hours by default in Docker), so the page you open in the morning already covers the night. Summaries answer to you, not a vendor: point FeedMe at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint and tune the prompt, input truncation, temperature, and token budget, with output in the languages you choose. There are no accounts, no forced logins, and no app to install; the responsive page works on phone and desktop in light or dark themes. Because the whole application is a static site, it stays fast and cheap to run, and the same build can live on GitHub Pages or Vercel if you ever want a public edition next to your private one.
