Every developer runs multiple services — databases, containers, APIs, monitoring tools. But switching between 20 browser tabs to check their status? That's not monitoring, that's madness.
The Dashboard Problem
A startup CTO told me: "I had Grafana for metrics, Portainer for containers, and PiHole for DNS. Every morning I opened 8 tabs just to see if everything was alive."
Homepage gives you a single, beautiful dashboard for ALL your services — with real-time status, widgets, and zero configuration headaches.
What Homepage Offers for Free
Homepage is a fully open-source, self-hosted application dashboard:
- Service Widgets — 200+ integrations: Docker, Kubernetes, Proxmox, Plex, Pi-hole, and more
- Real-time Status — See which services are up/down at a glance
- Resource Monitoring — CPU, memory, disk, network stats directly on dashboard
- Docker Integration — Auto-discover running containers with labels
- Kubernetes Support — Native K8s ingress discovery
- Customizable Themes — Dark mode, custom CSS, layout options
Quick Start
version: "3.3"
services:
homepage:
image: ghcr.io/gethomepage/homepage:latest
container_name: homepage
ports:
- 3000:3000
volumes:
- ./config:/app/config
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
restart: unless-stopped
Docker Auto-Discovery
services:
nginx:
image: nginx
labels:
- homepage.group=Web
- homepage.name=Nginx
- homepage.icon=nginx.png
- homepage.href=http://nginx.local
No manual config needed — Homepage picks up labeled containers automatically.
