So cool to see you do this , I've been using homepage for like 2 years now!

Super huge thanks for this Tim. I have been wanting to switch to this, but was overwhelmed by it. Your video made it super easy to understand and your documentation allowed for me to visually see your dashboard and then look at the configuration for me to understand what I was looking at in the code.

Hey Tim, this is AWESOME!!! Another great tutorial and easy to follow along with. I am currently using Dashy and have been looking for a different dashboard for my home lab and this one fits the bill. Thank you and keep up the awesome work that you do.

Dude thanks a ton, this is incredible. Insanely easy to work with and add services to, and it looks SO clean! Like WAY more sleek than almost every other dashboard out there!

Right when I lost hope on someone posting some sort of video to help with homepage setup, Tim comes through..thanks man

Can’t thank enough for making this video. I had tried installing Homepage before but I couldn’t get it to work properly, with the help of the video and the documentation I was able to recreate my home dashboard exactly how I wanted it. Thank you Tim, great work!

Tim, just compelled to Thank You for such a great tutorial. It was ironic how a question would form in my mind while watching, and you answer it in your next breath! You are an excellent teacher!

Thanks to you, I just spent the last 3.5 hours configuring homepage in my Kubernetes cluster. My favorite part: Adding to homepage via annotations on your ingresses. Absolutely delightful to have services self-register.

Glad this came across my recommendations. Was in the middle of setting up my homelab past few days so perfect timing. TY!

Excellent tutorial as usual. Instructions easy to follow. I'm convinced. Thanks Tim.

Hey Tim, huge thanks for such a great introduction to homepage, this will be a great addition to the resources new users have. Love your videos as always.

Thank you so much.. finaly i have a great dashboard. Used yours as a good base and fixed it for my needs. tried homepage before, but i was thinking it was to complex, but you made it EASY.. thank you

Thank you so much for showing this. I've been having a blast tinkering with it. You can almost get as obsessed with this as Home Assistant. One cool thing i was able to do, I used the customapi widget to create items for my Nest Wifi Pro.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, i've spent the last couple of days setting this up and even had some back and forth with it's devs due to some irregularities and bugs. All in all, it's a great piece of software.

Been using homepage for about a year, so knew most of the stuff but still learned a few things. Great video. Also fyi, homepage recently added support for tabs which is a really great feature when you have a lot of icons

Made the change from Heimdall to Homepage and at the first glance homepage was very confusing to me. But once you read the docs or watch a good youtube video like this it gets really easy to setup and very powerful. Had some trouble with the background but I will change it now thanks to this tutorial :) Great video.

Moved to this from Homarr a couple weeks ago and been loving it. Glad to see you give it some love.

This was really bad ass.. thanks for the detailed write up..

This is great! I have been using Dashy for a while now, I like it, but I need a challenge and this is right up my alley! Thanks TechnoTim! BTW I love your white workbench, it's giving me ideas for the garage 😃

Great howto...wish it was more click and go like heimdall...but it does make for one heck of a clean look...and is massively customizable Thanks so much for this howto/walkthru! Keep em coming!!!!

Great video! Was just putting together layout info for Homer, but also lamenting that there wouldn't be any dymanic content. And Stay warm...

Brilliant. I just installed it. Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant thank you, setting this up now!

Been using this for at least a year. I really like it.

I just moved to homepage after using homer and homarr and it seems much more customizable. Neat trick with the coloring of the icons I will have to see if I can try this with the background color for the icon space. Always enjoy seeing your homelab tours and dashboard videos. McDonald's was a funny addition, In-N-Out for the win though 😂.

I was thinking about needing a dashboard an hour ago lol great timing

Great! Im looking for a replacement for my homelab dashboard and homepage seems to be a perfect match! Awesome!

I pillaged your configs. Thank you, sir. I was foolish for sleeping on Homepage. It’s fantastic.

How you know fun is on the way: Tim - "We have a couple of tasks to do!"

Thank you! great and helpful as always)

Tim, you can also define which container each link refers to, in the services yaml file. You can get either show healthy/running statements or just a green/orange dot. indicates which container is running or paused

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

perfect timing i just completed configuring vlan on my network, time to move on with this project.

When I 1st saw your HomPage .... I always wanted to know that how you did it...!! Thank You for this...!!!

Another awesome video Tim! Helpful as always. Currently trying to decide between Homepage or Dashy as a replacement for Hiemdall in my homelab.

Damnt.... I had kinda ignored these homepage style setup for my own lab.... but this one actually looks pretty cool I love the widget integrations with the different services thats what kinda seals the deal for me.... Ug now to go off and build my dashboard..... hehe the life of a homelabber... always something to tinker with

Great intro to homepage! If you do a refresh to this, I'd love to see a quick config of the 'customapi' widget. Very useful for showing any JSON (or HealthCheck) from hosted services that don't have an api integration yet.

Thanks for the video Tim! i was looking at homepage when first setting up a dashboard and ended up with heimdall with just its ease and setup use. This is a great breakdown of how to setup homepage and really appreciate it. Time to target using homepage again!

Thanks for this am liking your videos alot thanks for taking the time

This was great, thanks.

Great video, you have a great didatic and i hope to see more vids like that.

Nice and easy tutorial on how to set it up :)

nice and thank you Tim.

too cool! Thx for sharing. I've been wanting to switch to something else for a white (was using Heimdall). ❤‍🔥

Dang it! Now I have something new to do. Thanks for the great tutorial. I can't want to start working on this.

very nice! thx for sharing!

Tim is my homelab superman 💪

thank you. that a keeper for me !

Just spent a few hours setting up Dashy to my liking. After watching this, I think I'll give it a try. Devs did a nice job.

Thanks a lot for sharing the video and especially your config files with us, Tim! This is an almost perfect fit for my own environment as I have a similar setup in my homelab as you (4 PVE Server, 3 DNS Server, 3 TrueNAS Scale Server, ....) so this will save me tons of time for my very own configuration 🙂 Thumbs up!

Thanks Tim.

Hey Tim - Quality content as always 😊 wondering if you could do a Unifi Controller in Docker video? Really having issues since the introduction of the external Mongo DB and the way you breakdown the creation of the structure and config is incredible

I've been using Homepage for a couple weeks now and enjoying it. I built it from Source for Windows because I'm not using Docker or anything like that. So mine runs as a Windows Service with Node and NSSM.

Some important feature (for me) is that you can create Tabs and separete your Dashboard services and widgets a little further. Thx for the Video, love all of them!

Thank you for the video

awesome! ty for tutorial

You’re an angel.

super helpful!

This looks great. been using homarr but I prefer something that I can have configured completely from code.

I've been giving homepage a spin. Lots to love and one thing to really really really dislike: lack of netdata widgets/integration. Heimdall supports Warnings and Critical alerts "out of the box" without additional configs. I think I'll move to homepage and keep Heimdall around to keep an eye on netdata. Surely, the good folks at homepage must be working on a netdata widget! :)

Thanks for the Kubernetes config. I added a Service and Ingress (with TLS) if you'd like me to submit a PR.

I found the docker label system easier so that I don't have to remember to go to the homepage config and add the new service. I can just add the labels to the other container's compose file.

after i JUST setup heimdall last week! 🤣

Other than the Homepage itself, I usually install another docker container called "FileBrowser" which I add the Homepage config folder to be editable in FileBrowser app. In such case, I can use FileBrowser to modify the Homepage config yaml files directly without using command line or ssh.

Dude, mind reading. I’ve been thinking of this. I’m a dashy user and was thinking of switching. This is a great video and just the kick in the butt I needed. Thanks again!

Now THIS is a good one. VERY manageable. Thanks for the detailed tutorial! My only problem is that my services run vertically within the groups and not horizontally like yours. *EDIT: Cancel that. I forgot to add the relevant directives in settings.yaml*

Thanks for the great video Tim! Would you be able to explain - if possible on a video - how to set up the API from Proxmod and get it imported with homepage. Appreciate it.

*- Tim turns off dark mode -* Me: BRIGHT LIGHT! BRIGHT LIGHT! 😂😂😂

I’ve been looking into various homepage upgrade options. I’d love to hear your thoughts on some candidates. Homepage, Homarr, Dashy are some ones I’ve been looking at.

Hi Tim - I love your videos. This one, though, maybe too short for me trying to install HomePage in Kubernetes. First, I got an error in VSC when I copied the deployment.yaml around line 38. I believe it is because once you set resources then there is also a need for limits: I added this code below requests to get it working: limits: memory: "512Mi" cpu: "1000m" Another issue is that I believe it is best to kubectl apply -f config.yaml and secret.yaml before deploying deployment.yaml - otherwise there is a need for redeploying the workload in Rancher. Huge thank you for all that you do!

discovered this a few months ago and its awesome, would be great to have a way to easily update it.

Ahhh, a rabbit hole project...

Oh nice. I've been looking for something else to try.

This is way better than the dashboards I have tried before!

Great intro to home page. This may be a use case just for me but do you know if you can use something like teleport or a login page and depending on the user it shows different pages

Hey, just an idea I wanted to throw out there. A lot of people seem upset by the new Unraid pricing. Maybe you could capture that by showing how you can roll your own with Proxmox and/or other server level Linux platforms?

Hey Tim. Did you seen Homarr? Huge amount of integrations, includes docker and easy to configure

Hi Tim, thanks this is a great video and i just went from Heimdall to Homepage thanks to you. However i have a question for you, i saw on widgets you can manage fields for some of them. But i don't find the right syntax or how to implement them. Did you read something on it? Thanks !

Oh no, I moved from Heimdall to Homer last year and now I need to move to Homepage 😱 Widget stuff never worked for me in Homer (and Heimdall too) because of all x-cors issues, but that's probably due to something else in my crappy setup.

Seems neat, maybe I´ll try it and replace my hand rolled single html file + json config with it. Btw, I don´t think the version in docker-compose has anything at all to do with what version of docker-compose you are using. It´s the version of the file format and largly unrelated to the docker-compose version (no 1:1 match at the very least). I have stuck with 3.0 for the most part and never bothered to use anything else after having tried the "latest and greatest" at some point and coming to the realization that it does not make a whole ton of sence, because it was missing a bunch of stuff I needed at the time and seemed largly scewed to work better with docker swarm that I am not using.

Dang it, Tim. I went from using Heimdall to using Homer, which was a big step forward already. But now I may switch to Homepage because of you...shame on you! 😜 lol jk, thank you for the introduction. I would switch to Homepage for no longer having to make my own icons alone!

I'm afraid this will remain a nerds' domain for as long as even basic settings require dealing with a config file.

Great product. I'll check this out. Wondering if you could define "sub directories" entries like in Heindall so that all your links don't end up on the same page. I have a screen real estate problem as you can imagine... Heimdall provides this but as you said it has other limitations...

I just switched to Homarr, and it's great. No YAML =D

Awesome

Hey there, thanks for the great stuff. Basically I've now got my homelab running, like proxmox, jellyfin, truenas and so on. Now also homepage but I struggle to get it running via my kinda reverse proxy (just :80 to externalIp for my traefik). I've got kubernetes running on 2 nodes, 1 master 1 worker, and a small vm running caddy as a reverse proxy redirecting to my traefik as I know no other easy way like configuring a hostname to the reverse proxys vm. But now I've got the issue that I can only access it via its externalIp but not via traefik even though traefik finds the service. Now I've got the deployment running on port 3000, the service mapping 3000 to 80 for traefik and traefik binds to port 80 alongside PathPrefix in ingressroute. But there I somehow receive a 404 but neither from caddy nor from traefik. It looks like a 404 from homepage but I dont know why... Anyone got any ideas?

Like it.

Last edit: Managed to do it with the service widgets at last. Bottom line. If you make changes t ovariable etc a simple start stop docker won t do it. Maybe a reboot won t do it either. I was trying different things and I couldn t know the difference since each change requires to docker compose up -d again (in the path the docker-compose.yml file exists). Only then it played out immediately !!! Nice presentation. At 18:18 (if you pause) noticed that for proxmox widget you can set a parameter of api key as password instead of the password itself? Also as parameter for node option can be whatever name you want or something that correlates with an already proxmox given value in its interface? Because value xing-01/-02/-03 doesnt show up anywhere on the homepage site. PS While doing that in an unpriviledged LXC based on Debian 12 and having created a user (lets say dock, but I also tried with root user) who has being added to sudo and docker groups (usermod -aG sudo dock / usermod -aG docker dock), while docker compose up -d started and finished with no errors, even after 5 min if I issue the docker ps command it states the container as Up 6 minutes (unhealthy). .env and docker-compose.yaml files are inside homepage but configs (for mapping it to :/app/config) is outside homepage path like - /home/dock_user/docker_volumes/configs:/app/config . As a result I dont have anything inside the config folder and typing the ip:3000 get me a refused to connect message. Any thoughts? By the way docker-copose version shows up ->docker-compose version 1.29.2, build unknown and plain docker-compose version -> docker-compose version 1.29.2, build unknown docker-py version: 5.0.3 CPython version: 3.11.2 OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 3.0.11 19 Sep 2023 I re-created the CT as privileged and did all steps with root (commented PUID,PGID and ENV_FILE) and it played out right away. So was it the user or the privileged CT? As soon as I used the new created user same unhealthy status. Does all the path /home/dockuser/docker_volumes/configs/homepage needs to owned both as user and group by the created user or by the docker group?

I would love to see a tutorial on how to add Zabbix dashboards to Homepage. I have a Zabbix monitoring server that collects sensor information from my Linux/KVM/Windows/Vmware hosts and would like to see the vital stats such as temperatures in the Homepage.

Heh funny ... Moved over from Heimdall to Homepage about 2 weeks ago >:D

also @technotim is your documentation site self hosted? if so, what did you use to create it and is there a video by chance ? Thank you sir.

Dark mode destroys my eyes. I know I'm in the minority but I have to disable CSS on sites that don't offer light mode that's text heavy. You've certainly given me thought to upgrade from Heimdell though. Thanks for the video. Great content as always.

The setup doesn't look as easy as homarr, but it has so much more to offer. What terminal are you using?

Keep in mind that you can start typing when you open the homepage and it will show you either your services/bookmarks, or do an internet search

This is awesome! Installed it on unraid. But I'm having an issue with getting the key to work with portainer. Says I need to add the env number from the environment endpoint. I use portainer as a server and have agents on each docker container. So the main list under environments had /endpoint and no number. How do I get this api to work to show all of my containers? Many thanks

It's nice but with auto discovery via API (like we could add things via api or auto discovery) would be so awesome.

Thank you for that great tuto. Does it has to be what the have setup on widgets? How about I want to add owncloud, another game servers beside minecraft, another services, for example subsonic, onlyoffice, samba webgui and so on? I was trying to add, lets say a Left 4 Dead 2 Server, used the minecraft widget, did not work. Is there another way to add them?

Hey, what’s your opinion on using VMs for a small software house? Few Windows VMs for web development, a couple of VMs IIS web server, one VM for SQL server, one VM for TrueNAS, one VM for Firewall OR should we use separate 1U server machines for each purpose?

nice, i use dashy but this looks nice. but, can i use local icons? i want all mor local and not relay on internet services. so can i pick an icon from the local filesystem within docker?

For the Proxmox URL, do you need to point to the API URL? I'm getting "API Error: Unexpected token 'I', "Internal S"... is not valid JSON"
