Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I’m tinkering between Homepage and Dashy. Both are pretty great
Really like homepage. Simple to install, easy to modify and "beautify"; though it's barely used in my household since my family only cares about Jellyfish and nothing else...
Homepage is great. I like that you get little snippets from the apps it links through but is more customisable than something like Heimdall which does similar. It’s become my go-to having tried pretty much every other dashboard out there over the years.
I use Heimdall. You can set it up in no time with docker compose and manage it all through the web interface after that.
Its simple but also has some neat integrations with certain apps and will give live stats for certain things. Like pihole gives you live stats on what's being blocked for instance.
I use organizr and haven't felt the need to try anything else. It can host other sites in an iframe which really gives all the disparate apps a unified feel. Some sites can be a bit difficult to set up, but once you do it works great.
I love it, it's so nice for quickly jumping between apps
Dashy is great : easy to install, easy to configure, and it comes with a lot of integrations with different services, so you can put a lot of things on your dashboard, not just links to your apps.
I user homer. Really simple, basic config and it looks nice. The stats are pretty cool for certain integrations and are easy to add - I’ve added a few myself for services that didn’t have them. Only issue is slow PR review.
I liked the look of Dashy, but it felt somewhat too heavy software for the simple dashboard I needed, and so I wrote the first version of Dashie.
It only uses Javascript and doesn't need any server components except a webserver. Configuration is done by editing YAML files.
Themes are implemented, and multiple pages which can be used to make more complex navigation of multiple dashboards.
Check it out :)
