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!

Back in the day I used Nagios to get an overview of large systems, and it made it very obvious if something wasn't working and where. But that was 20 years ago, I'm sure there are more modern approaches.

Come to think of it, at work we have grafana running, but I'm not sure exactly what scope it's operating under.
