Overview
Homer is a minimal, static web page served from a single Docker container that displays links to your self-hosted services with optional connectivity status checks. All configuration is done through a single YAML file with no database required. It is intentionally feature-light and fast, loading almost instantly in any browser. Perfect for users who want a clean service launchpad without complexity.
Where it falls short of Tableau
- Extremely minimal: no service widgets, no data pulled from APIs beyond ping checks
- No built-in authentication or user management
- No analytics, charts, or data visualization features
- Configuration is file-only with no web UI editor
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
