Homarr

Homarr is a self-hosted web application that serves as a centralized dashboard for organizing and managing access to various home server applications and services. It provides a visual interface to launch and monitor tools, acting as a landing page for a self-hosted ecosystem. The application allows users to aggregate multiple services into a single, organized workspace, reducing the need to remember individual IP addresses or port numbers for different network tools.

The software is deployed as a server application and is compatible with x86 hardware, Raspberry Pi, and most operating systems including Windows, Linux, TrueNAS, and Unraid. It supports deployment via Docker and includes Kubernetes support through Helm for scaling and reliability. This flexibility ensures that the dashboard can run on everything from old laptops to professional server clusters depending on the needs of the environment.
