Sencho
With over 430 GitHub stars and designed for DevOps engineers, platform teams, and homelab operators, Sencho is the self-hosted Docker Compose control plane that gives you a real operational cockpit without abandoning file-on-disk compose workflows. The web dashboard provides live CPU, memory, and disk sparklines per container, one-click start/stop/restart controls, and a Monaco-powered YAML editor with syntax highlighting, inline diff, and one-click rollback. Compose files remain the source of truth on the host filesystem. Multi-node management connects remote Sencho instances via authenticated HTTP and WebSocket proxy using long-lived API tokens, with no SSH access or exposed Docker sockets required. The Pilot Agent establishes an outbound-only WebSocket tunnel for nodes behind NAT, CGNAT, or strict firewalls. Blueprints define compose intent once and deploy it across label-targeted nodes, with drift detection keeping the fleet aligned. Fleet Federation provides cordon and pin controls for maintenance windows, while Fleet Actions execute bulk deploy, stop, and restart operations by stack label across the entire infrastructure. The security suite includes Trivy vulnerability scanning, deploy enforcement policies, SARIF and SBOM export, and Fleet Sync to replicate scan policies across replicas. Additional capabilities include 199+ one-click app templates, Git source integration, atomic deploys with auto-rollback, auto-heal, scheduled operations, webhooks, and custom S3 off-site backups to MinIO, R2, B2, or AWS. 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.
Flame
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.
KitchenOwl
Your household's kitchen command center: shared grocery lists that sync in real-time across everyone's phones, a recipe book that imports from 500+ websites with one tap, a weekly meal planner that auto-generates shopping lists, and expense tracking that splits costs between roommates or family members. Native apps for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, and web provide partial offline support so the list works even in store dead zones. The recipe-scrapers library with wild mode fallback handles imports from virtually any cooking site, extracting ingredients, steps, and images automatically — then converts recipe ingredients directly to shopping items with a single tap. Smart suggestions learn from your patterns over time, ordering items by your typical store route and recommending frequently purchased products. OpenID Connect authentication supports Google, Apple, Authelia, and custom providers. LLM-powered ingredient parsing uses configurable AI models for intelligent recipe text extraction. A Home Assistant integration enables voice-controlled list management via smart speakers. The REST API with a published Python client library allows third-party automation. Multi-language support covers 30+ languages through Weblate community translations. 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.
Solectrus
The inverter app tells you the sun shone; SOLECTRUS tells you what that sunshine was worth. It is a dashboard for your whole photovoltaic system that balances every watt: what the panels produced, what the house consumed, what the battery stored, and what crossed the grid meter in either direction, for any period you care to name. Up to five generators, from the main roof array to a balcony power plant, appear individually or summed, and up to twenty custom consumers, wallbox included, get their own accounting. The Power-Splitter shows how much green electricity actually landed in the car, the heat pump, or the washing machine, and what each load truly cost once lost feed-in revenue counts. Enter your electricity prices and feed-in tariff, including their changes over the years, and it computes savings, self-consumption costs, return, and the day the system has paid for itself from measured data rather than the sales brochure. Forecasts from pvnode, Solcast, or Forecast.Solar look up to seven days ahead using your location, orientation, tilt, and peak capacity. Heat pump owners see generated heat and coefficient of performance beside the power draw. Everything lands in InfluxDB and stays there, with daily aggregation keeping multi-year views fast, trends against last month or last year, and a Top-10 of your best and worst days. 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.
Fugleramme
Garden birdsong as a framed collage: Fugleramme draws the species heard right now as hand-cut illustrations from 1800s natural-history plates, for an e-ink panel, a TV, or any browser. The birds come from BirdNET-Go, which can listen on the same machine or elsewhere on the network, so the microphone can stay near the birds while the frame hangs in the living room. Nearly 1200 cut-outs cover over 650 species, none of them AI-generated, and each bird is sized by its real body mass, larger ones toward the centre. The page redraws only when the birds change. Heard nothing in the lookback window? A bare perch appears. Collage mode shows everything heard within a window from 15 minutes to all time, latest-bird mode changes only when a different species calls, and newest-arrival mode holds until a new species turns up. An optional spotlight puts the latest bird in the middle. Spiral or voids layouts rearrange the sheet, and a species limit keeps the most heard or the rarest. Names sit beside the birds or in a poster-style numbered key, in two languages at once from over 40, and a star flags a bird the station has never heard before for its first 24 hours. A web admin page covers display, detector address, and optional password sign-in. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Pulse
Pulse monitors your entire heterogeneous infrastructure from one screen: Proxmox VE, Proxmox Backup Server, Proxmox Mail Gateway, Docker, Podman, Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, TrueNAS SCALE/CORE, VMware vSphere, and standalone Linux/Windows/macOS machines. The Go binary embeds a SolidJS/TypeScript frontend, delivering WebSocket-driven dashboards with sub-second metric updates on port 7655. A unified agent auto-detects Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, and Proxmox on each host without manual configuration and self-updates silently, while Proxmox nodes need only API credentials with zero agent installation. Smart alerts use adaptive hysteresis-based thresholds to prevent notification floods, pushing to Discord, Slack, Telegram, Teams, email, ntfy.sh, Gotify, and generic webhooks with per-resource overrides. The standout feature is Pulse Patrol: scheduled AI health checks running every ten minutes to seven days using OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or local Ollama models. Patrol catches silent backup failures, capacity creep, restart loops, unhealthy containers, and clock drift that dashboards miss when nobody is watching. Platform-specific views render Proxmox nodes, Ceph clusters, Docker Compose projects, Kubernetes workloads, TrueNAS pools, and vSphere VMs in familiar layouts. OIDC, SSO, and SAML authentication with credential encryption at rest secures access. 6,500+ stars and 441 releases since February 2025. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Homeio
Homeio turns a Linux box into a desktop you open in a browser tab, with draggable windows, a dock, a lock screen, and a command palette sitting on top of your Docker apps, files, and disks. The App Store installs Docker Compose stacks from the CasaOS catalog or your own store sources, and each app's ports, volumes, environment variables, and compose file stay editable before and after install. Containers you started elsewhere still appear with live CPU and memory stats, streaming logs with keyword filters, and one-click restarts. The file manager uploads with progress, previews images, audio, video, and PDFs, edits text in a built-in code editor, mounts USB drives and SMB shares, and shares folders over Samba. A real login shell lives in the Terminal window, with exec access into any container, so routine fixes never need a separate SSH client. Cron-style scheduled tasks restart apps, pull images, or run backups on a timer, and scheduled archives of the database, files, and compose stacks restore from the same interface. Tailscale puts the whole desktop on your private network, while Cloudflare Tunnel can publish a single app on a public hostname with its DNS record created for you. Live metrics stream to widgets and the status bar, and notifications flag crashed containers, filling disks, and failed tasks. 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.
Eclipse Ditto
Every physical device on your network gets a living digital counterpart in Eclipse Ditto: a Thing whose Features hold its current state, desired state, and properties, readable and writable through APIs even while the device itself is offline. Your application talks to the twin over a REST-like HTTP API for CRUD and search, over WebSocket for real-time bidirectional streams, or over Server-Sent Events for change notifications, and Ditto routes commands down the live channel to the actual device when it is connected. Devices and backends connect through managed Connections to MQTT, AMQP 1.0 and 0.9.1, Apache Kafka, and HTTP endpoints, with payload mapping that translates between device formats and Ditto Protocol JSON. Fine-grained Policies decide per subject and resource who may read a temperature, change a setpoint, or receive an event, including namespace-scoped entries and partial change notifications that only reveal fields a subscriber may see. Search across millions of twins uses an RQL query language with custom MongoDB indexes, and Web of Things integration generates Thing Descriptions scoped to each requester's permissions. The bundled Explorer UI lets operators browse Things, inspect Features, and time-travel a twin's state to any past revision or timestamp to see exactly what changed and when. OpenID Connect and basic authentication protect the gateway, and Prometheus metrics expose live entity counts per namespace. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. EPL-2.0 licensed.
Attic
Somewhere in your home sits a box nobody has opened since the move, and Attic is the self-hosted home inventory that turns its contents from a mystery into a searchable record. You catalog appliances, tools, electronics, books, games, and furniture as assets, each with photos, receipts, manuals, purchase date and price, condition, and warranty dates attached. Nested locations mirror the house itself, rooms containing cupboards containing boxes, with photo galleries so you recognize a storage space on sight. Categories carry their own custom fields, inherited by subcategories, so electronics can demand a serial number while books ask for an ISBN. Items stored inside other items, like tools in a toolbox, are tracked as asset contents and move with their container. Collections group a game library or a moving box across locations, while tags label anything that needs repair or is out on loan. Adding stock is fast: import plugins pull metadata and cover images from Google Books, TMDB, BoardGameGeek, IGDB, and Rebrickable for LEGO sets. Search combines full-text with nested match-all and match-any filters, and saved searches pin to the sidebar as shortcuts. A history timeline records repairs and maintenance per asset, and the dashboard totals purchase value across currencies while flagging expiring warranties. OIDC single sign-on, scoped API keys, a REST API, and an MCP server connect Attic to scripts and agents. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Homer
"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.
Beszel
Reaching 24,000 GitHub stars within two years of its first commit in July 2024, Beszel delivers Netdata-grade monitoring dashboards from a single Docker container with no Prometheus stack, no external database, and no complex configuration — just a one-binary hub on PocketBase (SQLite embedded) and a sub-15 MB agent per host that auto-discovers Docker and Podman containers on contact. The agent connects outbound via WebSocket or SSH tunnel, requiring zero open ports on monitored servers and zero manual network configuration. Per-host metrics cover CPU usage, memory with swap and ZFS ARC breakdown, disk I/O across multiple partitions, network throughput, load average, sensor temperatures, battery charge, and GPU utilization with power draw for Nvidia, AMD, and Intel cards — features that competitors lock behind paid tiers. S.M.A.R.T. disk health including eMMC wear indicators and Linux mdraid array status surface hardware degradation before failures occur. Container statistics track CPU, memory, and network history per container with automatic discovery as new containers start. Configurable threshold alerts notify via email, Discord, Telegram, ntfy, Pushover, Gotify, Matrix, Mattermost, Signal, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Twilio when metrics exceed defined limits. Multi-user accounts with OAuth/OIDC authentication let teams share monitored systems with role-based access, while automatic backups persist data to disk or S3-compatible storage. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Wizarr
Getting non-technical friends and family onto a media server is its most tedious chore - Wizarr solves it. Instead of manually creating accounts, dictating server addresses, and explaining which app to install, you send one invite link. When the recipient clicks it, Wizarr creates their account on your server automatically - Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Audiobookshelf, Komga, Kavita, and Romm are all supported - then walks them through a mobile-first, app-like onboarding wizard: download the right client, sign in, and learn how to request movies through your Overseerr or Ombi instance, with an optional Discord server invite along the way. Invitations are genuinely manageable: set expiration dates, usage limits, passphrases, library-scoped access tiers, and time-limited memberships that end access automatically. The wizard itself is fully customizable - Markdown-based steps managed from the admin UI, organized into pre-invite and post-invite phases (terms of service before joining, app setup after), reorderable bundles assignable to specific invitation types, and combined flows for invites spanning multiple servers. Multi-server and multi-admin support manages several backends from one dashboard, SSO support is plug-and-play, and a REST API with OpenAPI/Swagger documentation covers automation. A Flask/HTMX app in a single Docker container.
evcc
evcc turns surplus rooftop solar and the cheapest hours of a dynamic tariff into cheap, clean kilometers by coordinating an EV charger, heat pump, and home battery from one local dashboard. Each charging point offers Off, Smart, and Fast modes. In Smart mode, charging starts once the surplus covers the car's minimum power, follows the sun up and down, pauses when clouds win, and can switch between one and three phases on wallboxes that allow it. A solar share slider lets small systems start earlier, and Always charge keeps fussy cars from being interrupted. Set a departure time and a target charge, and a charging plan picks the cheapest or cleanest hours before it, repeating weekly if you like. Tibber, Awattar, fixed and time-based rates, dynamic feed-in prices, and CO2 and solar forecasts all feed those decisions. A home battery can claim the surplus first or lend a boost for fast charging, and load management keeps several chargers inside a circuit's current limit while honoring grid operator dimming. Hundreds of wallboxes, inverters, meters, heat pumps, and vehicle APIs are supported, including Tesla, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Skoda, and Volkswagen. Sessions land in a history with charts and CSV export, and REST, MQTT, InfluxDB, Grafana, Home Assistant, and openHAB link evcc to the rest of the house. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Kept
Kept is a self-hosted home inventory that answers where things are, what they are, and what is due. Locations, rooms, shelves, and boxes nest inside each other, so moving a box moves everything in it, and each location can be viewed as a list, a grid, or a 3D map with pins for low stock, loans, and due items. Every thing gets a short ID and a QR code for label sheets or roll printers, and scanning a label opens the box. Capture a thing, receipt, or whole room from the installable phone web app, offline too; an AI provider you choose, including Ollama, then suggests details for you to confirm. Receipts, manuals, and warranties attach to items, reminders arrive in the app, by email, by push, or in a calendar feed, and an insurance report exports photos, serials, and receipts. Lending tracking, vehicle readings and services, moving-house box lists, and stocktakes cover the rest of the household, with shared locations and roles for everyone you live with. An assistant answers questions like where the HDMI cable is, and an MCP endpoint lets Claude or other AI agents add and move things, with changes waiting for your approval. Nightly backups and imports from Homebox and CSV round it out. 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.
DCM
DCM is a visual builder that eliminates docker-compose copy-paste anxiety for home server enthusiasts. The TypeScript and Next.js web interface on port 7576 presents a curated catalog of popular self-hosted applications organized into categories: media management with Jellyfin, Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, and Prowlarr; dashboards like Homarr and Heimdall; databases including PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, and Redis; monitoring stacks with Grafana and Prometheus; download clients like qBittorrent and NZBGet; security tools including Vaultwarden; storage solutions like Nextcloud; and home automation via Home Assistant. Select any combination of containers and DCM generates both compose.yaml and .env files with correct volume mounts, environment variables, PUID/PGID ownership, network modes, and port mappings — ready to paste into your terminal. Automatic port conflict detection identifies clashing services and reassigns ports before you ever hit a deployment error. The Template Gallery ships predefined multi-container stacks for common setups: media servers, development environments, database clusters, and monitoring solutions — some incorporating ten or more services in a single template. Built as a static Next.js export served from a 62 MB multi-arch Docker image supporting amd64, arm64, and arm/v7, DCM runs on everything from rack servers to Raspberry Pis. Share generated configurations via URL or download them locally. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.

OpenHAB
Over 400 technologies and thousands of smart devices from any manufacturer, unified under one roof: openHAB is the vendor-neutral home automation platform with a pluggable binding architecture. Each binding translates a device or service into openHAB's clean abstraction: Things expose Channels, Channels link to Items, and Items feed a rules engine that runs your home. That engine meets you at your skill level: Blockly gives non-programmers drag-and-drop visual logic, JS Scripting (GraalJS with the openhab-js library) is the modern text-based standard, the classic Rules DSL remains supported, and JSR223 opens the door to Python, Ruby, and Groovy. Time- and event-based triggers, scripts, notifications, and voice control compose into automations of any complexity, and users report decade-old rule sets still running rock solid. The Main UI handles configuration, semantic modeling, and now built-in charting - no external Grafana required. Built in Java on Apache Karaf's OSGi runtime and stewarded by the non-profit openHAB Foundation, it requires no cloud to function: everything runs locally, talking directly to your devices. Optional connectors bridge to Alexa, Google Assistant, and HomeKit, with iOS, Android, and web apps for control from anywhere.
EveryOS
EveryOS gives the Linux server you already own a desktop it never had: open a browser and your machine greets you with windows you can move, snap, and stack, a dock, virtual desktops, widgets, and a launcher, all remembering exactly how you left them. Your files live in a private home with the usual folders, previews, a text editor, and a trash you can restore from, and plugging in a USB disk makes it appear on the desktop ready to mount. An app store installs self-hosted applications from catalogs and follows each deployment, later offering updates that keep your settings, rollbacks when one goes wrong, and backups of app data. The same workspace watches the machine itself: CPU, memory, disk, and network at a glance, systemd services and logs, available package updates, and a Docker view for containers and Compose projects. A real terminal opens in the browser under your own Linux account, Home Assistant arrives as a panel and desktop widgets with its tokens kept on the server, and an AI assistants app can find or install a local model server such as Ollama and chat with it privately. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Home Assistant
Your house already has lights, locks, sensors, thermostats, and speakers from many brands, and Home Assistant gives them one local control room with no vendor cloud in the loop. To close the shutters when the outdoor temperature holds above 25 °C, or to be alerted when the garage door is left open, build the routine in the visual editor: When, And if, Then do. Scenes, scripts, and blueprints package it for reuse, and run traces show what it did. More than 1,500 integrations cover Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, Thread, MQTT, ESPHome, Bluetooth, Hue, and Sonos, and network discovery offers known devices for one-step setup. To see the house at a glance, drag tile, thermostat, gauge, graph, and map cards into a dashboard, then put it on a TV with Home Assistant Cast. The Energy dashboard answers where the power goes, drawing solar, grid, battery, gas, and water as one distribution diagram with cost totals and per-appliance tracking. To talk to the house, use Assist: natural-language commands, wake words, and custom sentences run locally or through Home Assistant Cloud. The map panel shows who is home, plotting people against zones such as Home, Work, and School from the iOS and Android companion apps. Areas and labels keep large setups tidy, and multi-factor authentication guards each account. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
