Overview

Homer is an elegant and straightforward dashboard solution designed for self-hosted environments. It provides a clean, responsive interface to list and access all your web services, applications, and links from one central location. The core philosophy behind Homer is simplicity and ease of configuration, achieved through a single YAML file where users define their services, categories, and visual preferences.

This tool is particularly valuable for individuals and small teams who manage a variety of self-hosted applications, such as media servers, home automation systems, development tools, or internal company resources. By consolidating all these links into a single, customizable dashboard, Homer significantly improves accessibility and organization, reducing the time spent navigating between different bookmarks and URLs. Its Docker compatibility further streamlines deployment, making it accessible even for those with moderate technical skills.
