Original: Building a Local Dashboard with Homepage: One Config File to Rule Your Self-Hosted Stack

Short summary

Homepage is a lightweight, YAML-configured dashboard for self-hosted services that pulls live health data via polling, avoiding database overhead of alternatives like Heimdall. Unlike reverse proxies, it provides metrics and visibility but requires external authentication layers—setup is minutes when rebuilding hosts since configuration is version-controlled. Ideal for ops-heavy stacks running Ollama, n8n, or Portainer.

  • •YAML-based configuration that can be version-controlled and easily migrated between hosts
  • •Pulls live service metrics via polling, not proxying—separate concerns from authentication and reverse proxying
  • •Lightweight resource footprint (80-120 MB) suitable for co-location with heavier workloads
