Dashy

The most customizable dashboard for self-hosters

Alternative to: start.me, igoogle, netvibes

Dashy is a highly customizable personal dashboard for organizing homelab apps and services, with real-time status monitoring, widgets for dynamic content, multiple pages, and many built-in themes and icon packs. Configuration is done through a single YAML file or an in-browser UI editor, with optional authentication, multi-user access, and encrypted cloud backup.

Dashy Docker Compose example

Self-host Dashy on your own server, homelab, or VPS starting from this Docker Compose example. It runs Dashy in Docker containers using the official lissy93/dashy:latest image, with persistent volumes and automatic restarts preconfigured. Review the environment variables and adjust them to your setup, save the file as compose.yml (or docker-compose.yml), and start the stack with docker compose up -d.
