One self-hosted page that links to every service you run and shows a live figure from each of them.

What it is
Homepage is a self-hosted start page and dashboard, shipped as a container image. It builds a grid of service tiles, bookmarks and information widgets from configuration files you put in a folder it can read.
What it is good for. Anyone running more than three or four services on a machine of their own. The tiles are not just links: they call each service's own API and show a real figure, so the page doubles as a status board. It can also find containers on its own by reading the Docker socket, and it can read Kubernetes services by label. Edition 30 covered glanceapp/glance, which answers the same question with feeds and machine statistics; homepage is the one with the deeper catalogue of service widgets.
- Active to the day. Code landed on 27 September 2026 and version 2.4.0 was released on 17 September 2026, on a project running since August 2022.
- The widget catalogue for self-hosted applications is large, so the page reports live state instead of being a list of links.
- Plain GPL-3.0 read from the LICENSE file, with no paid tier and no feature held back.
- Everything is configured by editing YAML files. The project's own documentation says "Homepage uses YAML for configuration" and advises checking it with a linter before deploying. There is no settings screen, and one misplaced space breaks the page. For someone who does not edit configuration files, that is the entire cost.
- The documented install mounts the Docker socket into the container. The documentation itself calls this optional and "not recommended as primary integration method for non-root setups", because it hands the container control of Docker.
- No memory or disk figures appear anywhere in the installation documentation, so sizing is guesswork. Two smaller frictions: the default branch is
devrather thanmain, and a source install has to be rebuilt on every upgrade.
