Homarr - A modern and easy to use dashboard. 30+ integrations. 10K+ icons built in. Authentication out of the box. No YAML, drag and drop configuration.
Homarr documentation
I use homepage and pretty happy with it. “Drag and drop configuration, no yaml” actually put me off.
Drag and drop isn't for me either but it's nice to have more beginners-friendly options in the self hosted community. Not everybody like to live in the terminal.
Same, homarr is decent but I prefer my configs, quick edits from whatever device is in hand, easy peasy.
I wish we would all start switching over to JSON for configuration files. It's so much easier to parse, and you can't screw it up with too many spaces or not enough.
No thanks. Yaml isn't perfect but by God json is best used to return and parse data, not input it.
I used to think that until I figured out yaml and now yaml isn't so bad.
It helps that text editors know what yaml is now so insert spaces when you hit tab etc
No support for comments? Hard pass
Instead you can screw it up by having too many commas or not enough. Hardly that much of an improvement.
It's IMO also so much clearer regarding data types. You can't accidentally write a boolean when you want a string.
Why not just write your YAML files in JSON syntax?
JSON is a valid subset of YAML
Yeah i was wondering how you actually use versioning with that drag and drop. Homepage seems better for that IMO
I use it and my biggest issue is the ram usage, it's like 500mb for a dashboard, the other ones I tried were much lighter
If any of you can get the Pi-hole integration to work, let me know how you did it. There's a github thread about it, but I haven't heard any progress
It worked for a long time until an update pretty recently.
I might have adjusted the container to run with my local DNS, but all I'm doing for that service is:
yaml
- Pi-Hole- Hostname:
icon: /icons/pihole.png
href: https://my.internal.domain/admin
server: Hostname
widget:
type: pihole
url: https://my.internal.domain/
version: 6 # required if running v6 or higher, defaults to 5
# Application Password:
key: "<< REDACTED >>"
Replaced my Pi's hostname, internal domain, keys, etc, but I have this running for two Pi-Holes on my network.
I have it working but I do remember struggling a bit with it, involved getting a password somewhere, can't check rn
Nice to know it's not just me battling with that
I’ll take a look when i get home tonight. I do have mine working.
I use a manually edited yaml home assistant page. Beat that on number of integrations.
Was going to say, isn’t this just an Arr-flavored Home Assistant page?
This is a great platform, especially if you are just beginning in self-hosting. I don't use it on my deployment "version 2.0" because I found it unnecessary once learning a little more about docker, etc. While I was using it, I loved it, and would definitely recommend it!
30+ integrations seems like a really small number.
You’re mostly adding dozens of hyperlinks, like your own homapage, but some of them (30) can provide direct info from said integration, so a button for your Torrent Client also has the current download speed for example
i prefer homepage https://github.com/gethomepage/homepage
you add a label in the docker compose and the dashboard follows.
