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.
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!
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
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.
funny how you guys thinks how yaml is basic stuff, I mean it is, but I think its taking for granted that everyone knows it. I guess its a matter of time that HomePage will be improved a bit like Homarr? I really like this intro too, without it I would not even consider that app on my homelab ;)
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.
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 😂.
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.
Hi I was wondering if Home page is better than Homarr. For me Homarr looks much better, easy to control and mange. What do you see on Home page that Homarr doesn’t have?
@@MGHOL-nv4xb For me, the big things are that Homepage is more lightweight and more configurable. I actually *want* YAMLs, whereas the lack thereof seems to be a major selling point for Homarr. IMO it also looks better.
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 😃
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!
Few hours messing with Homepage, absolutely loving it. The extended linked resources are unbelievable. Being a longtime Home Assistant user, loving the yaml configuration of Homepage. Between css and yaml, it's perfect! Thanks again for posting.
Thanks Tim, I been having problems with Dashy and looking for something new. Your video is awesome along with your documentation made this easy and fun to learn. I'm super new to anything linux and you explained everything I needed.
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.
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.
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
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!
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!!!!
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.
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
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!
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!
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!
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.
My question is how do you configure this if you build it as an LXC container in Proxmox. Specifically, can you use the hidden .env file to store and pass environmental variables?
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
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! :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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...
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 !
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?
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?
Can I change the direction of the rows from horizontal to vertical and also display some rows as a folder and only expand them at the push of a button?
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
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?
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?
Hi Tim, i don't know if it's a bug or i'm doing it wrong but if i tried to set all the homepage variables inside the .env files, homepage doesn't replace them during execution even if a restart or recreate the container itself. Any ideas?
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
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!
I had my homepage working for about a couple weeks, I made it the day you upload the video, today docker container was stopped without any notizable problem on the server..and after re start it it was again on the demo yaml setings. I will redo my homepage, but is there a way to avoid this? well backup i know, just added proxmox bkup task but I cant figure out what happended
Just for security, but it's not that much more secure i would say. If you have anything exposed to the internet you should use a secret instead. Otherwise you can just paste the api key if it's all local
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.
Right when I lost hope on someone posting some sort of video to help with homepage setup, Tim comes through..thanks man

Light is right.
You sir need to be studied lol
Many dark modes have bright white text, which according to me, is a no-no.
This makes absolutely no sense to me. White background destroys my eyes.
@@CryptolockerMD I swap you the migraine level headaches and blurred vision for about an hour after looking at such sites. Deal?
How you know fun is on the way: Tim - "We have a couple of tasks to do!"
Why you don’t use LXC instead of docker?
This looks great. been using homarr but I prefer something that I can have configured completely from code.
Seems neat, maybe I´ll try it and replace my hand rolled single html file + json config with it.

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"
Dang it! Now I have something new to do.
Thanks for the great tutorial. I can't want to start working on this.
Another awesome video Tim! Helpful as always. Currently trying to decide between Homepage or Dashy as a replacement for Hiemdall in my homelab.
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.
Not sure if you are using Proxmox PBS but how did you get up the authentication..... I cant get the API key to work with homepage
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.
Hey Tim. Did you seen Homarr? Huge amount of integrations, includes docker and easy to configure

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?
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?
Can I change the direction of the rows from horizontal to vertical and also display some rows as a folder and only expand them at the push of a button?
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
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?
Great video, I’m using it now and love it! One comment, no need to touch the file, just nano file name
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?
Great video, you have a great didatic and i hope to see more vids like that.
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.
Hi Tim, i don't know if it's a bug or i'm doing it wrong but if i tried to set all the homepage variables inside the .env files, homepage doesn't replace them during execution even if a restart or recreate the container itself.
Any ideas?
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
after i JUST setup heimdall last week! 🤣
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!
what port is used for unifi? 161/162/443 don't work
Why I got an error on adding portainer widget? I just followed all the steps even on your blogsite and can’t get it run. It says invalid token api 😢
Me too
maybe stupid question, is there a reason you use compose files instead of portainer stacks?
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
discovered this a few months ago and its awesome, would be great to have a way to easily update it.
Thank you! great and helpful as always)
Thanks for this am liking your videos alot thanks for taking the time
I just switched to Homarr, and it's great. No YAML =D
I had my homepage working for about a couple weeks, I made it the day you upload the video, today docker container was stopped without any notizable problem on the server..and after re start it it was again on the demo yaml setings. I will redo my homepage, but is there a way to avoid this? well backup i know, just added proxmox bkup task but I cant figure out what happended
Is there a way to get homepage to ignore SSL for communicating with services?
Hello, at 13:25 Tim says that you shouldn't add the api key here but in the .env file. Why?
Just for security, but it's not that much more secure i would say. If you have anything exposed to the internet you should use a secret instead. Otherwise you can just paste the api key if it's all local
nice and thank you Tim.
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.
This was great, thanks.
Thanks Tim.
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
