Overview#
Homarr is a modern, self-hosted dashboard that gives you a clean and interactive homepage for your homelab or media server setup.
Itβs similar in spirit to Heimdall or Organizr, but with a more polished UI, widget support, and an active community.
In my setup, Homarr serves as the home portal for all my Docker-based services β Arr Stack, RustDesk, Watchtower, Jellyfin, etc.
Everything I manage day-to-day starts here.
Features I Use#
- π§© App Tiles: Quick launch buttons for everything in my lab.
- π Dynamic Widgets: Display real-time info from qBittorrent, Sonarr, Radarr, etc.
- π Auth Support: Integrates with Authelia or simple login.
- π§± Fully Dockerized: Runs in a single lightweight container.
- π§ Persistent Config: Stores settings in a local volume β no database needed.
