What is homeserver_hub?

HomeServer Hub is a dashboard you can run on your own home server to keep an eye on the other services and devices running there. It shows live status information, updating every 30 seconds, so you can tell at a glance whether something you rely on, like a media server or a smart home tool, is online or has gone down. If a service goes offline, the dashboard can send you a notification through Telegram, and it will notify you again once the service comes back online. This means you do not have to keep checking manually. The dashboard also scans your local network on its own, looking for web services and running Docker containers, so you do not have to type in IP addresses by hand to add them. Once services are added, you can pin your favorites to the top of the page, limited to three per row, and organize everything into categories that you can create, edit, and delete directly from the dashboard, each with a choice of icon. Categories can also be collapsed when you do not need to see them. Visually, the dashboard uses a dark, glass like style with a moving animated background, a custom font, and small hover animations on the tiles, aiming for a clean, modern look rather than a plain list of links. The easiest way to run it is with Docker, using a provided docker compose file, and it supports both regular PCs and servers as well as arm64 devices like a Raspberry Pi or a Synology NAS. If you prefer not to use Docker, you can install it manually, which requires Node.js version 18 or newer and npm, then start the server directly from the command line. This is a small, early project, currently at version 0.2, aimed at people who self host services at home and want one central page to watch over everything instead of bookmarking many separate addresses.
