Self-host Homepage

An application dashboard configured through YAML files, showing your services with status checks and stats widgets that read from the services' own APIs, plus optional service discovery from Docker labels.

Key facts

What you need

• Any VPS with at least 256 MB of RAM
• A domain you control — most self-hosted setups need HTTPS in front of them
• Under an hour if you've used Docker before

Install

Run these commands on your server:

copy# Homepage — default config files are created in ./homepage on first start
docker run -d --name homepage -p 3000:3000 \
  -e HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS=SERVER_IP:3000 \
  -v "$(pwd)"/homepage:/app/config \
  ghcr.io/gethomepage/homepage:latest
# →  http://SERVER_IP:3000
