I've accumulated enough self hosted stuff that I feel like I want a dashboard now so I don't have to remember which IP & port I need for which service (not all my services are exposed to the WWW).

I looked at some dashboard solutions already but there is a huge amount of them. I also use Home Assistant as the dashboard for my home.

So I'm looking to bounce some ideas off this community. Should I add one more service to my servers in the form of a dashboard, or should I maybe create a dashboard in Home Assistant?

If going with a standalone dashboard service, which one?
If going with Home Assistant, is there some good add-ons or something I can use to make managing my services easier?

Let me know what you guys think and thank you!

Why a dashboard for that, and not traefik or caddy or something as a reverse proxy? I have everything addressable by name.

Well there's a few services that I really have no need for outside of my home so if I don't need it, why expose it?

You can use reverse proxies for local only, usually by restricting the address to local IP ranges. You can even choose a non-existent fun tld!

I didn't say anything about exposing it.

If anything, I recommend not exposing anything but a VPN service.
