A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I really like it already so take this as an alternative, not as improvement:l. I don't have a good eye for aesthetics anyway don't his is more about structure.

Personally I switched from a single dashboard to purpose driven hubs - I can't imagine a situation where I need my infrastructure and my calendar at the same time regularly for example.

Another point is context typing: your release checker is quite far away from your appointments and calendar. It looks to me to be sorted by content rather then function (i.e. it's entertainment so it's next to YouTube). The same is true for your interaction patterns. There is a lot of visual information which I'm sure you'll rarely interact with but instead consume. And then there are clearly external links, both bottom left (opencloud, tooling) and top right (external media) in addition to your own self hosted content.

My suggestion is therefore a process instead of a change: Note down when you consume which features of this awesome dashboard together for a few days. Then restructure the content of the whole dashboard based on your usage patterns - either as a new Monolith or even experimenting with splitting it.

I even suggest using a different medium then your usage device (if it's a desktop PC mainly use pen and paper, if it's your laptop use your phone, if it's your phone you use this dashboard on then you might have different problems :D)

Could you be so kind to share some tech specs on your setup that runs all this, how you access this, etc?

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Exactly, please share.

My shit is just a nas with a ghetto puck mini pc running proxmox and a few services Im able to run scripts for....

The page shown is called Homepage and is quite lightweight and easy to set up.

[–] vegyk0z6@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

I would also be interested in setting up something similar

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Awesome set up. I just installed Homepage myself and I thought I was happy with the configuration, then I see this haha.

I really wish I could use my Baikal caldav server with the calendar integration but it seems like it only accepts ical, which is too bad.

[–] variety4me@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

i download it at beginning of the week, convert to ical, a bit inconvinient, thinking of writing a script to automate it

Is this related to Glance in any way?

[–] roserose56@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

Still the same, a starter home page.
