Best open-source Homelab dashboards
The best self-hosted homelab dashboard in the c17.io catalog is Homepage for a GPL-3.0 start page with Docker and service integrations, Homarr for the maintained Apache-2.0 rewrite (homarr-labs/homarr; ajnart/homarr is archived), Dashy for an MIT dashboard with a UI editor, and Heimdall for a simple MIT app launcher. Uptime checks stay on /best/monitoring-observability.

FAQ
- Homepage or Homarr?
- Homepage if you want config-as-file and Docker integrations. Homarr if you want the maintained drag-and-drop rewrite.
- Is this Uptime Kuma?
- No. Uptime Kuma is checks — /best/monitoring-observability. This page is a start page / app launcher.
- Are these free?
- Homepage is GPL-3.0. Homarr (labs) is Apache-2.0. Dashy and Heimdall are MIT. You pay hosting. Template users never pay c17.
- How do I deploy it?
- Follow each project's Docker docs. Point it at services you already run. Coolify remains /stacks/coolify-paas if you wanted a PaaS.
