About Versions (34)

Glance is a lightweight, highly customizable dashboard that aggregates RSS feeds, subreddits, Hacker News, market prices, weather, videos, Docker container status, and more into a single fast-loading page. Layouts and widgets are configured through simple YAML files, and the whole app ships as a single, minimal Docker container.

Glance Docker Compose example

Self-host Glance on your own server, homelab, or VPS starting from this Docker Compose example. It runs Glance in Docker containers using the official glanceapp/glance: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.

services:
  glance:
    image: glanceapp/glance:latest
    volumes:
      # Dashboard configuration. Glance reads /app/config/glance.yml on start.
      - ./glance.yml:/app/config/glance.yml:ro
    restart: unless-stopped
