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.

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.

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.

Runtipi makes any Linux server a personal app platform where installing services like Plex, Nextcloud, or Home Assistant takes a single click from a curated store of 265+ applications. With 9,500+ GitHub stars and 50 contributors, the React frontend backed by NestJS orchestrates Docker Compose projects for each installed app, automatically generating environment files, compose configurations, and Traefik reverse proxy labels for domain routing and SSL certificate provisioning via Let's Encrypt. The integrated Traefik reverse proxy handles all incoming traffic routing, HTTPS termination, and forward-auth protection for securing applications behind Runtipi's authentication layer without manual configuration. One-click updates notify administrators of new app versions and apply container image upgrades with automatic pre-update backup creation, while the restore feature rolls back application data to any saved snapshot. Custom app stores extend the ecosystem through Git repositories following the Runtipi app definition format, enabling organizations and communities to maintain private catalogs alongside the official store. The Docker Compose override system preserves user customizations across updates, allowing advanced modifications without losing changes. Architecture-aware filtering detects ARM64 or x86 platforms and displays only compatible applications. All apps deploy as standard Docker containers, and compose files can be exported for independent operation without lock-in. 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.

That yogurt hiding behind the ketchup expired three weeks ago, and the flour you bought "just in case" has been sitting in the pantry since last winter. EverShelf replaces mental guesswork with a structured inventory system that tracks every item across pantry, fridge, freezer, and custom locations with precise quantities, expiry dates, and consumption patterns. Scan barcodes with your phone camera to add products instantly, or let the Gemini AI identify items from a photo and estimate shelf life based on storage location. The dashboard surfaces expired items and upcoming expirations with color-coded urgency badges, while anomaly detection flags suspicious quantities and consumption predictions that deviate from your history. Opened products get reduced shelf-life calculations; vacuum-sealed items get extended dates automatically. The recipe engine generates context-aware meal suggestions from your current inventory, prioritizing ingredients approaching expiry so nothing goes to waste; each recipe includes step-by-step cooking mode with text-to-speech narration and timer integration. A smart shopping list auto-populates when stock hits zero and syncs bidirectionally with the Bring! app, with AI-estimated prices per item and consumption forecasts showing when you will need to restock. For Home Assistant users, a native HACS integration provides 22 sensors, expiry calendars, bidirectional todo-list sync, and voice assistant support for adding items hands-free. A dedicated Kiosk mode optimizes the interface for wall-mounted tablets with BLE scale integration. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Plex's own dashboard shows current streams and forgets everything else - which is why every Plex server admin eventually installs Tautulli, the analytics layer. This Python web application (descended from PlexWatch and Headphones) logs complete watch history - what was watched, who watched it, when, where, from which device and IP, and whether it played directly or transcoded - and turns it into clean Highcharts graphs of daily plays, concurrent streams, bandwidth, and platform breakdowns. The home page surfaces top statistics over configurable windows: most-watched content, most active users, stream type ratios. For running a server shared with family and friends, this is operational truth: spot the user forcing 4K transcodes on a phone, see which libraries earn their disk space, and track sync activity across users. The notification engine triggers on server events - playback starts, transcode decision changes, recently added media, server down - through dozens of agents (Discord, Telegram, Slack, email, webhooks) with fully customizable text and conditions, plus arbitrary script execution. Scheduled newsletters email your users a styled digest of recently added content. A comprehensive API exposes every statistic for dashboards like Homarr, and an official mobile app monitors activity on the go. Themed to match Plex/Web. GPL-licensed.

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.

Subtitles are the one chore Sonarr and Radarr leave behind - Bazarr finishes the *arr media stack by automating them. It connects to both via their APIs and mirrors their libraries - it doesn't scan disk itself, it manages exactly what your *arr apps index. For every monitored episode and movie it checks existing internal and external subtitles against your language profiles, then hunts missing ones across dozens of providers - OpenSubtitles.com, Podnapisi, Addic7ed, Subscene, and many regional sources - covering 184 subtitle languages including forced/foreign-dialogue tracks. Matching is smarter than filename guessing: releases are compared by release group and source, some providers support exact file-hash matching, and every downloaded subtitle gets a percentage score. Set a minimum score per Sonarr/Radarr connection and Bazarr rejects weak matches; enable upgrades and it replaces previously downloaded subtitles when better ones surface. Out-of-sync files get fixed too - automatic subtitle synchronization realigns timing after download, triggered only below a configurable score threshold so good subs aren't touched. Per-show and per-movie language configuration, download history, manual on-demand search, and adaptive searching that throttles provider API calls round it out, all behind a clean Sonarr-style web UI written in Python. If your library serves multilingual viewers, this removes the last manual step.

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.

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.

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.

Created to eliminate the configuration fragmentation plaguing multi-device Homelab setups and small-team infrastructures, NetsGo merges what typically requires three separate tools — a tunnel daemon, a management panel, and a monitoring stack — into a single Go binary that starts with one command and listens on one port. The server exposes HTTP, TCP, and UDP tunnels, a built-in Web console for node management, a REST API for automation, and real-time traffic statistics with per-client bandwidth limiting, all sharing default port 9527 so firewalls and reverse proxies need only a single rule. Version 0.1.11 introduced Client-to-Client P2P tunnels via WebRTC DataChannel with three selectable transport strategies — Server relay, Prefer P2P with automatic fallback, and P2P only — reducing latency for direct connections while maintaining the centralized control plane. The management console displays every connected client's online status, authentication tokens, tunnel configuration, active transport mode, P2P candidate gathering progress, and cumulative byte-level traffic counters updated every second. Unlike frp or rathole which delegate management to external plugins or configuration files, NetsGo provides built-in client key generation, tunnel target migration between nodes, SOCKS5 proxying, IP-whitelist console access, and one-command server upgrades. 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.

DumbAssets delivers a deliberately simple physical asset tracker that does exactly one thing well — keeping tabs on everything you own, from server racks down to individual HDDs, with hierarchical component nesting that mirrors real-world organization. The Node.js backend stores all data in JSON files within a single /data directory, making backups trivial with one folder copy while the PWA-enabled frontend provides responsive access from any device with light and dark theme persistence. Assets track model numbers, serial numbers, purchase dates, warranty expiration dates, and custom descriptions while sub-components nest infinitely — attach a Dell R730 to your server rack, then attach individual drives, CPUs, and NICs to that server with separate warranty and maintenance schedules for each. The Apprise notification engine fires configurable alerts for warranty expirations and maintenance events with direct links back to the specific asset in the web interface. Photo uploads attach visual records to any asset, receipt storage keeps purchase documentation alongside the item it covers, and a flexible tagging system enables cross-cutting organization beyond the hierarchy. PIN authentication with brute-force protection secures the interface, while search covers names, models, serials, and descriptions with sorting by warranty status, tags, components, or alphabetical order. Deploy with a single Docker command mapping port 3000 and one data volume. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL v3 licensed.

The moment after ShadowPlay saves a great clip is what Fireshare was built for: your friends see it now, not after a YouTube upload, processing queue, and platform terms review. Drop videos into a watched folder and this Flask/React application generates a unique shareable URL for each one, complete with Open Graph metadata - so pasting the link into Discord, Twitter, or Slack produces a proper embed with title, description, and video thumbnail instead of a raw URL. Viewers need no account and no app. Visibility is per-file: public (browseable on your feed), private (unlisted, reachable only by direct link), or password protected. For game clips specifically, Fireshare organizes automatically - clips sort by game with cover art pulled from SteamGridDB, no manual tagging - while tags and full-library search cover everything else. Optional transcoding (CPU or GPU) creates lower-quality renditions so viewers on weak connections get automatic quality adaptation, and video cropping trims clips in place. The extras round out a genuinely finished tool: view counters, timestamped share links, a shuffle button, restrictable uploads, Discord notifications for new videos, an RSS feed of the public feed, mobile support, and LDAP for multi-user setups. No storage limits, no watermarks, no platform deciding what stays up. GPL-licensed.

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.

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.

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.

PayMe is a privacy-first personal finance dashboard that runs entirely on your own hardware with zero third-party service dependencies. The Rust backend compiled to a single binary serves a React 19 frontend built with Vite, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS 4, storing all financial data in a local SQLite database that auto-migrates on startup. Monthly dashboards track income entries, fixed expenses like mortgage and utilities, and budget categories with real-time progress bars showing spending against configurable limits. The savings module includes goal tracking with percentage-based progress indicators, custom savings goals for targeted objectives, retirement savings projections with breakdown analysis, and projected savings calculations. Variance analysis compares actual spending against budgets across categories. Drag-and-drop reordering powered by dnd-kit lets you arrange income sources, expenses, and budget items to match your workflow. The interactive charts rendered by Recharts visualize spending trends, income patterns, and savings trajectories. Month-by-month navigation tracks financial history over time, while the Summary and Stats views aggregate data across periods. JWT-based authentication secures access, and the full OpenAPI Swagger documentation at the /swagger-ui endpoint exposes every API route for automation and integration. Docker Compose deployment creates a minimal image with the compiled Rust binary and static frontend assets, running on port 3001 behind nginx, Caddy, or Traefik reverse proxy with HTTPS. On RepoCloud, deploy PayMe on a dedicated VPS with persistent SQLite storage, root SSH access, and complete privacy over your household financial data, all under the MIT license.
