What is Homarr?

Homarr is a free, open-source dashboard where you arrange your self-hosted apps and widgets on a drag-and-drop grid. Its README lists user management with permissions, single sign-on via OIDC or LDAP, a built-in search and an icon picker, and says it runs on common hardware including Windows, Linux, TrueNAS and Unraid.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Homarr does well

  • One start page for all your self-hosted tools
  • Drag and drop layout with no YAML needed
  • Permissions for different people in your household or team

Cons: where it falls short

  • Only useful if you self-host other apps
  • Needs a server or Docker to run

Who Homarr is for

Home-lab users who want one tidy place to reach all their services.

Who can skip it

People who do not run their own services.
