Enjoying the simplicity of a single tab setup!
threaded - newest
I’ve had trouble arranging the columns properly, but I’m still using it as a nice overview. I even set it as startpage in my browser after decades of about:blank
Are the stats configurable?
Yes
I used to go for a dashboard like this, but one day I realised none of the stats are actually helpful for anything and stopped using it.
I use Homarr and initially created a really complex dash, but I’ve since whittled it down to just the bare essentials as a homepage.
Links to my most used web pages and self hosted services, and a couple of vital metrics that I would need to act upon quickly.
For everything else I have Grafana dashboards I can dip into as I need to.
I need to try Homarr again, but carefully.
I think my first experience ended with it causing a massive memory leak because I didn’t configure it properly and its error logs got crazy out of control and crashed my server lol. 😂
It’s worked well for me so far. I chose Homarr because it has a GUI for dashboard creation, I wanted the whole family to be able to use it and they aren’t all up to editing YAML etc.
I’ve been using Homarr for quite a while, and I can’t say as I have any complaints. It does have integrations, tho if you want to go nuts with that, Homepage would probably be a better fit. It’s a pretty straight forward app and it’s very pleasing to the eyes.
It certainly is pretty to look at though
Most are definitely just showing off; “Look at how many photos I have stored,” “I have so many podcasts and ebooks,” “Bow to me, mortals!”
On the flip, some are useful. PeaNUT gives UPS off/on line power status at a glance, Jellyfin shows active streams iirc, FreshRSS shows if there are unread feeds, Portainer shows if any containers have stopped, etc. Jellyfin is a big one since I don’t have to get into the WebUI to see if updates or whatever are going to interrupt someone. Otherwise I’m mostly in agreement and just use links in lieu of widgets and silly API calls.
Its my homepage for any new tab, and most of the time I just use it as a shortcut to get to the tool I want. Latency is ok for a quick view of status, but I get alerts, so I don’t really use/care about that as a feature.
But the calendar I use all the time. Upcoming shows, events for the family, etc.
What are you using for this dashboard?
It’s called “Homepage”. Essentially a configuration file driven dashboard: gethomepage.dev
How do you set it up? You have to edit the yaml file manually?
I’m using Heimdall right now and it’s easy to setup and has decent integration.
It has a yaml based config structure, more details here gethomepage.dev/configs/
Wait it has built in reverse proxy?
No?
Not as far as I know, I use Nginx Proxy Manager for that.
So the Nathan Bedford Forrest Holiday stands out a bit…

Consequence of living in the state that gave the world the KKK. It’s an official state holiday, so it shows up in a lot of holiday presets by default if your location is TN. Pretty shit situation all around, but I get why a TN resident would have it without wanting it. I’ve had it in my calendar before :/
Man, TIL. That’s pretty disgusting. :(
Damn it just creeps up on you every year, doesn’t it? I need to get to work on my parade float ASAP! Does anyone have any spare pillowcases?
Looks a lot like mine. Except I have not put Beszel on the damn ROUTER, lol.
I see BentoPDF and IT Tools but no OmniTools. Shame.Otherwise, nice dashboard.
Edit: it’s there.
It’s there. Far left above the calendars at the very bottom.
who has a good front end for caldav?
Most calender apps are frontends for caldav…
Not the OP, but I wanted something accessible from the browser. I found very few self-hosted solutions.
Adding github.com/Ivan-Malinovski/calino to the ones already mentioned. I need to stop being lazy and spin it up.
I think I remember this one. I was a bit apprehensive about it because it looks like it’s at least partially vibe-coded.
It is and I thought it would be abandoned like most other AI slop but it has dev has been pretty active since I first became aware of it.
I have these two bookmarked to check out later, but haven’t tested either yet: Davis, Luna.
I’ve tried like 3 different recipe apps like the one listed, and none of them did the one feature they all claimed they were built around - importing recipes from the biggest recipe sites. It never worked properly. Even trying the various work arounds going through intermediate sites that could supposedly parse them better.
My partner and I quite like Mealie. It doesn’t import 100% perfectly like you say, but it does probably 90% of the work.
I think that was one of the ones I tried, but the 3 different recipe sites (big ones) that I tried basically brought back maybe 1/4 of the recipe at best.
It just wasn’t reliable enough to hand off to my wife to replace her pen and paper meal planning
In my experience with Mealie, most sites work, but I think some don’t allow scraping or something because every once in awhile we can’t import a recipe.
Alternatively they have a built in AI that can scan an image, so if you feed it a screenshot of a recipe it’ll likely get it in there (may need to double check stuff though)
This is 95% more information than you can consume or find useful. I cannot get these type of homepages except to have done a thing and feel happy about it. My “homepage” is a link to all my services, but I rarely use it because of that thing in between my ears that allows me to remember what service I want to use.
I keep trying to use these, install and configure them, then never touch them again. I run across them when I’m roaming around on my one of my docker servers a year later and nuke them.
I’d love to find something that sticks, though. Hasn’t happened yet.
I like homarr. But it’s just a glorified link tree for me.
But when you have like 20+ services just remembering them and where they are hosted some organisation goes a long way
There is much merit in doing a thing if only for the experience of doing it.
Yes, well, some of us have dented brains. Plus I like a good UI. I’d rather just click an icon.
Nice dashboard OP. Very clean
