dashy

Dashy is a self-hosted personal dashboard — a single web page you run on your own server (or a home computer) that collects links to all your self-hosted apps and services in one place. Instead of bookmarking a dozen internal tools scattered across different ports and URLs, you open Dashy and see everything in a tidy, customizable grid. Self-hosted means you run it yourself rather than relying on a third-party cloud service, which appeals to privacy-conscious users and home lab enthusiasts.

Beyond simple links, Dashy shows real-time status indicators so you can see at a glance which of your services are online or offline. It includes widgets that pull live data from your apps — weather, system stats, calendars, and more. The visual experience is highly configurable: dozens of built-in color themes, multiple icon styles (Font Awesome, custom images, emojis), custom CSS support, and a built-in UI editor so you can configure everything without editing files directly. For extra convenience there's instant search with keyboard shortcuts, multi-page layouts, and an optional workspace view for running multiple apps side by side.

You'd use Dashy if you run a home lab or self-host services like media servers, home automation systems, or development tools. Deployment is simple via Docker or bare metal installation with Node.js. It's free and open-source, built with Vue, and runs on Linux, Mac, or any machine that supports Docker.
