alternatives to Heimdall? reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- herbal_broccoli · 2023-12-14 01:34 i setup heimdall but then realized there's no grouping or dividers. is there an alternative that works like heimdall but has support for these features? seems like popel ahve been asking for these features but theyve never been done. kind of surprised... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rickestrada · 2023-12-14 01:47 I like Dashy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Brolanski · 2023-12-14 02:05 just switched from Heimdall to Homepage, much nicer if you can stand yaml. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy · 2023-12-14 02:17 Homepage. And look at the "personal dashboards" section of the awesome- selfhosted list in the subreddit sidebar. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Vyerni11 · 2023-12-14 02:48 Dashy for me. My dashboard is not complicated by any stretch, but Heimdall was way too basic for my liking ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HexEditHD · 2023-12-14 03:56 Homarr is a good one as well! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SillyLilBear · 2023-12-14 03:57 Homepage is the best, but it isn't as easy as the others. You will need to edit text files to do the configuration, but you can have much of it auto configure when docker containers start/stop using labels. Once you get over the small learning curve, you won't want to use anything else. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- iuselect · 2023-12-14 04:03 > You will need to edit text files to do the configuration Depends on the user I guess. I found using the UI in other dashboards really frustrating to use. Editing .yml files is simple and is easy to follow for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SillyLilBear · 2023-12-14 04:08 It is really easy once you understand the workflow, and most of my dashboard is configured in docker-compose.yml files with labels. When I create a new stack, I just copy the labels then edit the name, icon, and description for this instance. Then it just populates automatically as it goes up and down, I love it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- notdoreen · 2023-12-14 05:14 Flame is the best looking one ---------------------------------------------------------------------- baloo5 · 2023-12-14 05:20 Flame is my favorite. Easy config (no yaml). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CactusBoyScout · 2023-12-14 14:32 I love Homepage but it’s important to be aware it offers zero authentication ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy · 2023-12-14 14:53 Yeah, its a dashboard. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CactusBoyScout · 2023-12-14 14:54 I know. But Heimdall has authentication built-in. Just saying it’s a difference. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MalcolmY · 2023-12-14 16:20 It's funny how we're different. For my use case, I absolutely despise authentication. I will disable it if I can, or use one character user/pass... etc. Just for the fact that I don't have 80 and 443 exposed. I'm the only user and all I need is a VPN tunnel that I have a shortcut for on the phone's home screen. Logging in, in my own home network annoys me to no ends. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CactusBoyScout · 2023-12-14 16:22 I just don't like being reliant on a VPN. I've had a lot of reliability issues with them or been on networks that try to block them. So having another way to access without needing a VPN tunnel is nice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MalcolmY · 2023-12-14 16:23 Doesn't it also populate things like databases/redis and other containers that you don't interact with? Can you remove them later in the services.yml or something? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SillyLilBear · 2023-12-14 16:24 It only populates what you tell it to. For example for nextcloud I put the labels on nextcloud but I don’t put labels on the postgres instance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HTTP_404_NotFound · 2023-12-14 20:46 I mean, the closest thing to heimdall that I have- is actually authentik. Does a great job of displaying your various applications. (Its not a home page application. Its specifically, a SAML/SSO/OAUTH/OIDC/Radius/etc MFA/SSO application that happens to build a page displaying things you have access to) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MalcolmY · 2023-12-14 21:58 So do you port forward 80 and 443 to your reverse proxy and rely on authentication? I'm very scared of exposing these two ports to the world based on very bad experiences.
