Homepage - A Stylish Self Hosted Startpage Dashboard
Homepage is a elegant startpage dashboard configured by YAML files. Let's take a closer look and set it up using Docker Compose. 🐳
Are you getting lost in all of your self-hosted services, websites and links? The search for the perfect self-hosted startpage dashboard just might be over. Homepage is as good as it gets!
What is Homepage?
Homepage is a modern (fully static, fast), secure (fully proxied), highly customizable application dashboard with integrations for more than 25 services and translations for over 15 languages. Easily configured via YAML files (or discovery via docker labels).
Homepage Core Features
At first glance, you may not think Homepage has tons of features due to the minimal design and look. However, it's the complete opposite.

- Full i18n support with automatic language detection

Install Homepage with Docker Compose
Installing Homepage dashboard is simple. Use their provided Docker Compose stack.
version: "3.3"
services:
homepage:
image: ghcr.io/benphelps/homepage:latest
container_name: homepage
ports:
- 3000:3000
volumes:
- /path/to/config:/app/config # Make sure your local config directory exists
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro # (optional) For docker integrations
After installing Homepage with Docker Compose, navigate to your host IP and port 3000 to see the default dashboard.
Homepage Dashboard Configuration
Homepage is easily configured via 6 different YAML files. I highly recommend using Filebrowser to make things even easier. You can save a bookmark directly to your YAML files and edit them on the fly over web interface.
Here you can see the services.yaml page for the Homepage dashboard I am using for https://saved.lol. You will most likely be focusing on 2 or 3 of these YAML files and not even look at the others.
If you'd like to use my services.yaml as an example to build from, expand the box below and copy the code.

You can also monitor the host CPU, RAM and disk space!
You can mount more disks to monitor by simply mounting more volumes in your Docker Compose stack.
Final Notes and Thoughts
Homepage is one of the very few dashboard apps that I don't mind configuring via YAML files. It looks great both on desktop browsers and mobile devices and can even be added as a PWA on your phone.
Homepage does not include authentication. But you can add authentication using Cloudflare access apps quite easily if you want to expose this application.
If you find Homepage useful, swing by the Homepage Github page and give it a star! You can also sponsor this project.❤️
