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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I've accumulated enough self hosted stuff that I feel like I want a dashboard now so I don't have to remember which IP & port I need for which service (not all my services are exposed to the WWW).

I looked at some dashboard solutions already but there is a huge amount of them. I also use Home Assistant as the dashboard for my home.

So I'm looking to bounce some ideas off this community. Should I add one more service to my servers in the form of a dashboard, or should I maybe create a dashboard in Home Assistant?

If going with a standalone dashboard service, which one?
If going with Home Assistant, is there some good add-ons or something I can use to make managing my services easier?

Let me know what you guys think and thank you!

I just wrote my own.

It's a single html file with links to all my services, served on the root of my domain.

This is like v12, I've edited it over the years as what I host has changed. Adding the embedded searxng bar, as well as links to uptime kuma and openspeedtest.

Stuff only I need to access is behind the "Admin Menu" button:

And it only works via lan/vpn.

I'd be happy to let you copy it, provided you know how to edit it for your needs.

I gotta spruce mine up, this is excellent.

Neat. I was considering this route as well.

That really looks good bro. Very modern looking card style. I'm keen to know how you have coded it to reject IP, other than VPN traffic.

That's handled by nginx, which strips out the menu items when serving to external IP. Basically serving an html file that doesn't contain them to begin with.

They didn’t say it was accessible to the internet.

Looks nice. Well done!

Looks good, and highlights how little we generally need to be functional.
