Homepage Dashboard Lets Self-Hosters Manage All Services via One YAML Config

Managing dozens of self-hosted services through browser bookmarks becomes unworkable, as links offer no visibility into whether a service is actually running or has silently crashed. Homepage is an open-source dashboard tool that reads YAML configuration files to display live health checks and service metrics in a single operator panel. Unlike alternatives such as Heimdall or Flame, Homepage stores no database state, meaning the entire setup can be version-controlled and restored on a new machine with a single Docker Compose command. The tool ships with first-party integrations for popular self-hosted applications including Portainer, Proxmox, and the *arr media stack, pulling real-time data rather than simply providing links. Its file-based, stateless design makes it function as infrastructure rather than a convenience, which becomes increasingly valuable as the number of managed services grows.
