Hi all, for my own selfhosting needs i looked into many different dashboards, but none really fit my bill.
I want a dashboard that:
- super lightweight
- has no server-side requirements
- can be edited with a single text file
- simple CSS to adapt to your style
and so, of course, i developed my own. After a few years of usage, i upgraded it to AlpineJS (previously uglier code on jQuery) and i am proudly making it public for anybody who might be interested.
(the project was released on github long ago, but i never wrote about it anywhere IIRC, also i might migrate to Codeberg in the future, so do not bash me for Github)
There is a quite long readme, it's GPLv3, and aboslutely zero lines of AI / Vibe coding. I used AI for research and quick support specially on how to format CSS (which i kind of despise) but nothing else.
As a bonus, there is also a CGI system made in bash (totally optional) that i use for local monitors, but it's kinda messy and really not ready for broader use, so you can ignore the "monitor" subfolder or delete it completely.
Anyway, here it is, hope someone could make use of it.
Woah, soulseek
I haven't used soulseek in literally 20 years... Is it still a relevant place to get music?
Yeah of course, nicotine+ is a good client. The webapp I see most people use is slskd but there are others too. Where do you get your music from? Surely you don't pay evil companies for it and not support the artist directly when you can?
Holy fucking pretentious douche, batman! Catch my block list.
I just got back on it recently and the answer is a big yes. When I can't find stuff elsewhere I can find it there.
Its quite good for music still, and slskd was developed to integrate soulseek with other programs in your *arr stack.
That being said, I just end up using it standalone and just open Picard whenever I remember I have music to sort.
