Hi all, for my own selfhosting needs i looked into many different dashboards, but none really fit my bill.

I want a dashboard that:

  • super lightweight
  • has no server-side requirements
  • can be edited with a single text file
  • simple CSS to adapt to your style

and so, of course, i developed my own. After a few years of usage, i upgraded it to AlpineJS (previously uglier code on jQuery) and i am proudly making it public for anybody who might be interested.

Here it is: https://github.com/gardiol/dashboard/

(the project was released on github long ago, but i never wrote about it anywhere IIRC, also i might migrate to Codeberg in the future, so do not bash me for Github)

There is a quite long readme, it's GPLv3, and aboslutely zero lines of AI / Vibe coding. I used AI for research and quick support specially on how to format CSS (which i kind of despise) but nothing else.

As a bonus, there is also a CGI system made in bash (totally optional) that i use for local monitors, but it's kinda messy and really not ready for broader use, so you can ignore the "monitor" subfolder or delete it completely.

Anyway, here it is, hope someone could make use of it.

This is the kind of quirky, distinctly human non-slop that I can't help but appreciate. Nice work, you lovely person you.
