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.

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.
