Glance
With over 35,000 GitHub stars in just two years, Glance has become the most popular self-hosted dashboard project on GitHub, outpacing established alternatives like Homarr and Homepage. Built as a single Go binary under 20MB with minimal JavaScript and zero external dependencies, Glance delivers a blazing-fast personal information dashboard that consolidates your entire digital morning routine into one beautiful page. Configure everything through clean YAML files that support modular includes and environment variable interpolation, with automatic hot-reload that applies changes without restarting the server. The widget ecosystem covers RSS and Atom feeds, Reddit and Hacker News frontpages, YouTube channel subscriptions, GitHub release timelines, weather forecasts from Open-Meteo, stock market quotes, Docker container status, Twitch live streams, calendar events via iCal, site monitor uptime checks, and custom HTML or iframe embeds. A community widgets repository extends functionality even further with user-contributed integrations. The theming system provides light, dark, and custom color schemes with multiple layout options including slim and wide column configurations. Authentication support added in 2025 secures access with username and password protection. Preconfigured page templates let you get started in seconds with curated layouts for development, homelab monitoring, news reading, and entertainment tracking. Deploy via Docker Compose or as a standalone binary on Linux, macOS, or Windows across AMD64 and ARM64 architectures. 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.
AudioMuse-AI
AudioMuse-AI transforms your self-hosted music collection into an intelligent sonic discovery universe that generates groove-aware playlists without relying on tag metadata or external streaming APIs. The platform scans audio files directly to extract acoustic properties, rhythmic cadence, harmonic density, and lyrical themes across seventy-two supported languages. Listeners can explore their library through a dynamic two-dimensional interactive music map, discover hidden sonic connections between distant genres, or chart smooth transitional song paths between two completely different tracks. Custom prompt-based querying lets users request niche vibes like late-night lo-fi piano, while automated clustering groups acoustically similar tracks into fresh, genre-defying collections. With Song Alchemy, curators fine-tune playlist moods by interactively adding or subtracting acoustic traits before exporting clean tracklists back to Navidrome, Jellyfin, LMS, Lyrion, Emby, or Plex. A built-in acoustic fingerprinting engine even identifies mystery tracks from twenty-second audio snippets, deduplicating songs across multi-server topologies so every file is processed only once. 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.
Homepage
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.
Jellyseerr
Browse trending titles, search anything, request it in two clicks: Jellyseerr gives Jellyfin, Emby, and Plex users a beautiful storefront for the media library. Born as the Overseerr fork that added Jellyfin and Emby support (the projects have since unified as Seerr), it handles the full request lifecycle - users authenticate with their existing media-server accounts, pick individual seasons or movies in a clean interface, and admins approve or decline from a simple queue, including on mobile. Approved requests flow straight to Sonarr and Radarr, which handle acquisition automatically, with support for separate 4K server instances. Regular library scans keep availability accurate, so users see instantly what already exists instead of requesting duplicates. A granular permission system controls who can request what - auto-approval for trusted users, quotas and limits elsewhere - and override rules adjust request routing by user, tag, or other conditions. Watchlist and blocklist functions curate discovery, notifications reach email, Discord, Telegram, Slack, Pushover, and Pushbullet, and both PostgreSQL and SQLite are supported. Localized into many languages, it turns "can you add this movie?" texts into a self-service system that runs itself.
Homelable
Homelable turns your entire homelab into a live, interactive network canvas where every device, link, and service shows its real-time status at a glance. Run an nmap-powered network scan against your subnets and the tool fingerprints services, queues unknown devices for review, and drops approved hosts onto a drag-and-drop canvas with 15 native node types covering routers, switches, hypervisors, NAS boxes, IoT sensors, and more. Import your full Zigbee2MQTT mesh (controllers, routers, end devices with link quality indicators) and Z-Wave JS device trees in one click, preserving the actual RF topology without manual wiring. Proxmox integration pulls in hosts, VMs, and LXC containers so you can nest virtual machines inside their parent hypervisor node on the canvas. The Rack Canvas mode documents the physical side of your lab: create racks with configurable U-height, mount gear into slots, and patch ports across devices to track your cabling. Health checks run every 60 seconds using ping, HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, SSH, or Prometheus scrape endpoints, with WebSocket push delivering green, red, or pending status pulses directly to the canvas. Split your infrastructure across multiple canvases organized by site, rack, or purpose, and share a read-only Live View URL with anyone on your network. A built-in Model Context Protocol server lets AI assistants like Claude query and modify your topology through natural language. Deploy on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Komari
Komari turns a scattered fleet of VPS boxes into one clean status wall that shows which servers are alive, struggling, or about to expire. Every node reports CPU, GPU, memory, swap, disk, load, network speed, traffic totals, and uptime to a real-time dashboard, with history views from ten minutes to thirty days or any custom range. Flip between a card grid and a table, search by name, region, or operating system, and tag each machine with its price, billing cycle, and days until renewal. Latency tasks send ICMP, TCP, or HTTP probes and plot the results in per-node charts. Offline alerts wait out a per-node grace period before firing, expiry reminders warn before a plan lapses, and Webhook and custom JavaScript channels deliver them. A multi-tab browser terminal that reattaches after disconnects, remote command execution, and a remote file manager with an editor let you fix problems without leaving the panel. Agents install with a script, a binary, Docker, or an auto-discovery key for batch rollouts, and administrators can switch an agent's version remotely. Plugins run on an embedded JavaScript runtime and can add scheduled jobs, HTTP hooks, static pages, and notification channels. Administrators can add two-factor authentication, OAuth sign-in, API keys for a JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoint, themes from a theme market, and backups. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Prowlarr
Configure each indexer once, not five times: Prowlarr is the indexer hub of the *arr stack, removing the most tedious duplication in a media automation setup. Instead of configuring the same torrent trackers and Usenet indexers separately in Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, and Mylar3, you add each one once in Prowlarr and it syncs them to every connected app automatically, complete with category mappings; with Full Sync enabled, adding or removing an indexer propagates everywhere, and a tracker URL change is a one-place fix. Coverage is the deepest available: 500+ torrent trackers with definitions added constantly, 24 native Usenet indexers, generic Newznab and Torznab support for anything else, and custom Cardigann YML definitions with JSON and XML parsing for obscure sources. Built on the same .NET/React base as its siblings, it also earns a place as a search tool in its own right: unified manual search queries every indexer simultaneously at a category level, and you can push multiple releases straight to your download clients without touching Sonarr or Radarr. Health checks and status notifications flag failing indexers, per-indexer statistics track success rates and response times so you can cull unreliable sources, and per-indexer proxy support (SOCKS4/5, HTTP, FlareSolverr) handles trackers behind Cloudflare.
ZoneMinder
Turn ordinary IP cameras, USB webcams, and video files into a self-hosted surveillance system that watches, records, and replays everything from a browser. Every camera becomes a monitor that can capture, analyze, and record around the clock or only when motion appears. Draw detection zones in six types (active, inclusive, exclusive, preclusive, inactive, and privacy) so a visitor on the driveway raises an alarm and swaying trees do not. The Montage view tiles live feeds in selectable layouts, Cycle rotates through them, and the Watch view adds scale, stream quality, and player controls for a single camera. Events arrive in a sortable list with thumbnails, durations, and alarm scores, play back against a timeline, and can be reviewed across every camera in Montage Review. Filters automate housekeeping by archiving, emailing, messaging, uploading, copying, moving, or deleting matching events on a schedule. PTZ controls steer supported cameras. User roles limit who can view or change each monitor, a REST API and MQTT support connect other tools, and the optional event server adds push notifications and object detection through machine-learning hooks. Multi-server installs spread cameras and storage across machines, and the zmNinjaNg app brings the same views to phones and desktops. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-2.0 licensed.
Homarr
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.
portracker
No spreadsheet has to track which service owns which port, because portracker discovers every service and port on your servers and keeps the list current from a self-hosted dashboard. Begin with a single port, shown with its owning service, its source (Docker or the host system), and its address, with internal container ports told apart from ports published to the host. Step back and ports gather into services: expandable cards carrying an icon, a health dot, and a port count, in list, grid, or table layouts, where a Why this status popover names the failing component and the rule that fired. Step back again and each server gets its own panel with hostname, OS, CPU, memory, and uptime, plus TrueNAS apps, VMs, and LXC containers once an API key is added. Step back once more and the whole fleet appears, because other portracker instances can be linked as peers, a VM's instance can be nested under its host, and every server can be searched at once. Along the way, rename services, hide the noisy ones, attach notes, act on a selection in bulk, or press Generate port for an unused number before deploying something new. Optional sign-in with a first-run setup wizard, an autoxpose link that shows public URLs and SSL status, light and dark themes, and keyboard shortcuts finish the picture. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Radarr
The movie half of the *arr stack: Radarr is a .NET collection manager that automates acquiring films for Usenet and BitTorrent users the way Sonarr does for TV. Add a movie once and Radarr handles the rest: it monitors indexers and RSS feeds, grabs a matching release the moment one appears, sends it to SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission, rTorrent, or another connected download client, then imports, sorts, and renames the file into your library structure. Quality profiles are the control surface - define allowed resolutions and a cutoff, and Radarr keeps upgrading files automatically, replacing a DVD rip when a Blu-ray release lands. Custom formats go further, scoring releases by codec, HDR metadata, release group, streaming source, or arbitrary regex so the copy you want always wins the pick. Failed downloads retry with another release automatically; a manual search shows every candidate and explains why one was skipped. Release parsing recognizes director's cuts, special editions, AKA titles, and hardcoded subs. Plex and Kodi integration handles notifications, library refreshes, and metadata like posters, trailers, and subtitles, and a calendar view tracks upcoming releases. It pairs naturally with Jellyseerr for request management and shares its API conventions with the whole *arr ecosystem.
House Planner
House Planner holds the design of your house in one browser workspace, from true-scale floor plans drawn over a satellite photo of your plot to costed wiring, plumbing, sewer, and heating layouts. Draw walls at true scale in millimetres with thickness and materials, add doors, windows, garage gates, and furniture with true dimensions, and watch room areas and plot coverage total as you work. Flip into 3D for a massing model or the house finished with material textures and facade colours, with cut-down walls for reading the layout from above. Every utility network gets an engineering layer: route sewer lines to a septic tank with slopes and cleanouts, auto-route electrical circuits with breaker and voltage-drop checks, and run water piping from well and boiler to each fixture. Underfloor heating loops lay out room by room, split before 80 metres, and balance flow against heat loss. The bill of materials computes quantities from the plan and networks, producing a priced estimate you can print, tick off as you buy, or export to CSV. Every save is a numbered version with restorable snapshots, tabs cannot overwrite each other, and the JSON plan can be edited by an AI assistant through the same API. One password guards the project, phones get a read-only view for on-site checks, and the whole thing runs in one Docker container with no database. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
LLDAP
LLDAP is a lightweight user directory that lets all your self-hosted apps share one set of accounts and passwords. It speaks just enough LDAP for Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Gitea, GitLab, Grafana, Home Assistant, Proxmox VE, Vaultwarden, and many more to authenticate users against a single source of truth, with ready-made example configurations for more than 80 services. Day-to-day administration happens in a web interface where you create users, set passwords, upload avatars, build groups, and add members from a dropdown. Regular users can sign in to edit their own profile, and once SMTP is configured they can request a password-reset link by email instead of pinging the admin. Custom attributes (text, numbers, dates, or JPEG photos) are defined on the user and group schema pages, which unlocks integrations that expect fields such as uidNumber or homeDirectory, including Linux logins through PAM. Three built-in groups keep privileges tidy: lldap_admin for full control, lldap_password_manager for password resets, and lldap_strict_readonly for read-only service accounts. Group membership is exposed through memberOf filters, LDAPS secures connections when you expose the port, and a GraphQL API plus a bootstrap script let you manage users, groups, and attributes declaratively from JSON files. Pair it with Authelia, Authentik, or Keycloak when you also want single sign-on and multi-factor prompts. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
Heimdall
Links stop drowning in browser bookmarks once Heimdall - the application dashboard from the LinuxServer.io team - gives every web app and service you run a single, organized front door. Items come in three tiers. Generic items link to anything on the web with a name, color, and optional icon. Foundation apps are recognized as you type, auto-filling the application's icon and tile color so a full homelab dashboard assembles in minutes. Enhanced apps go further: supply API credentials and the tile shows live data - queue size and download speed for SABnzbd and NZBGet, plus integrations for Sonarr, Radarr, Plex, Jellyfin, Pi-hole, Portainer, Transmission, and many more. There are no iframes and no apps-within-apps; tiles are honest links with real-time stats layered on. Tiles arrange by drag and drop, backgrounds are customizable, an optional search bar (Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo) makes it work as a browser start page, and optional multi-user authentication keeps dashboards personal. Built on Laravel with SQLite file-based storage - no external database - it stays light, responsive on mobile, and simple to back up. A natural first deployment: the page that ties every other self-hosted service together.
Homebox
With over 7,000 GitHub stars and active community maintenance through version 0.26.0 released in June 2026, Homebox fills the gap between inadequate spreadsheets and overcomplicated enterprise asset management by providing a purpose-built inventory system designed specifically for home users, families, and small groups. The Go backend with SQLite storage deploys as a single Docker container consuming under 50MB of RAM at idle, running on hardware as modest as a Raspberry Pi while the responsive web interface adapts seamlessly across desktops, tablets, and smartphones. The entity-based architecture introduced in v0.26 unifies items and locations into a shared structure supporting custom fields, attachments, entity types, and reusable templates for consistent data entry across inventory categories. QR code generation creates printable labels that scan with any smartphone camera to instantly display item details, photos, serial numbers, and associated documents. Warranty tracking records purchase dates, prices, and expiration dates while maintenance scheduling sends reminders for recurring service tasks. Location hierarchies organize items spatially with nested sub-locations, and flexible label tagging enables cross-cutting categorization beyond physical placement. Multi-user support shares collections with family members or roommates with OIDC single sign-on integration for Active Directory, Okta, and other identity providers. CSV import and export handles bulk operations, while the full REST API enables automation and third-party integrations. Collection-level ZIP export packages complete inventories with attachments for backup or migration.

Universal Media Server
Every screen in the house (browser, TV, game console, or phone) can open the same library of videos, music, and photos once Universal Media Server shares it, with transcoding handled automatically for whichever device asks. A file the device can already play passes through untouched. Anything else is converted on the fly to suit the network, the device, and the preferred language. Folders open at once, with no wait for library scans, and disc drives and disc images play directly. In the web interface, every title gets a page with cover art, cast, and genre details from TMDB, Discogs, and MusicBrainz, and filters narrow the library by actor, director, genre, year, or artist. YouTube channels, online radio, podcasts, and RSS feeds appear beside local files on every connected device. Users and groups, with optional avatars and four-digit PINs, decide which shared folders each person sees; content for children stays apart from the library for adults. A list of detected renderers shows every connected device, and the configuration file of each device can be edited to fix browsing, playback, or transcoding on an unsupported TV. Builds exist for Windows, Linux, and macOS, with AppImage and Docker options for servers. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-2.0 licensed.
Zigbee2MQTT
Zigbee2MQTT bridges a Zigbee smart home network to MQTT so bulbs, switches, sensors, and locks from hundreds of vendors work with your own automation server instead of each manufacturer's cloud bridge. It supports 5,798 devices from 608 vendors, so a Philips Hue bulb, an IKEA TRÅDFRI switch, an Aqara sensor, and a Tuya plug can all join one coordinator and speak one protocol. The built-in frontend on port 8080 shows every paired device with its link quality, battery level, and live state, and lets you rename, reconfigure, bind, or remove devices without editing YAML. A network map view charts which routers carry traffic for which end devices, making weak spots and dead zones visible before automations start failing. Groups collect devices that should act together, scenes capture lighting states for a room, and bindings let a switch talk directly to a bulb even when the server is briefly offline. Firmware stays current through over the air updates you can trigger or schedule per device from MQTT topics or the frontend, including downgrades when a new release misbehaves. Home Assistant picks everything up automatically through MQTT discovery, while openHAB, Domoticz, and Node-RED flows subscribe to the same plain JSON topics. The coordinator plugs into the host by USB or joins over the local network, while the bridge, frontend, and broker traffic run headlessly beside Mosquitto or EMQX. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
Peach
Peach is a self-hosted video library manager that scrapes rich metadata for your own collection and serves it through a polished web player you can open on any device. Point it at local drives, SMB shares, mounted cloud storage, or a PikPak library and it scans everything into one browsable catalog without moving or modifying your files. The scraper recognizes video codes, reads existing NFO files, and fills in titles, performers, studios, and cover art from multiple sources while always preserving corrections you make by hand. Playback happens right in the browser with subtitle support, variable speed, rotation, resume points, and timeline previews you can scrub through before committing to a scene. A follow system tracks performers and creators so new releases surface automatically, and the discovery views plus a want list help you decide what to add next. When something is missing, search by video code or drop in a magnet link and completed downloads are filed into the library on their own. Tagging, duplicate detection, and multi-version grouping keep large collections tidy, while the task center lets you pause, resume, or cancel scans and downloads and watch their resource use as they run. 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-or-later licensed.
