Hey, self-hosting nerds, what are you using as a "dashboard" or "homescreen"? (hexbear.net)

I have Homarr set up, but I realized over the weekend that the thing eats 7GB of memory... Which feels like way to much for something that is just displaying me information (I'm no web dev though so what do I know). I know there is a lot of stuff in this category; Dashy, Homer, Homepage, Glance, Heimdall, Fenrus, Organizr, etc...

The thing I used Homarr for the most is as my "homepage" in my browser. I had some basic information in there, like my calendar, a list of my hosted services, weather. I had another page that would let me see progress on active downloads, but not something I'd use all the time.

Seems like the reason Homarr eats so much memory is that it's built on NodeJS and the Next.js react framework. Most of these tools feel like overkill for what I actually want, which is just a replacement for the new tab/home page in my browser.

Komodo

Heh, monitor lizard. That's good. Plus, after looking at it, seems like useful software. I also like this part of the README file: There is no limit to the number of servers you can connect, and there will never be. There is no limit to what API you can use for automation, and there never will be. No "business edition" here.

Glance does look nice, but yeah, I'm with you regarding YAML files. Some of these things support docker compose labels, and I couldn't think of a worse thing to maintain then a docker-compose file full of labels that make up the rest of the software configuration. Glance has a nice look, but good lord the amount of YAML files you'll end up managing. Plus, you know, it's full of freeze-gamer and stonks-up energy. Like, do I really need a whole YAML config file to track the fucking NASDAQ, who even cares that much?
