What is Homer?

Homer is a static homepage for your server that keeps your services within reach, configured from a simple YAML file. It supports fuzzy search, grouped pages and items, theme customisation and keyboard shortcuts, and it can be installed as a progressive web app.

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 Homer does well

  • Everything on one page
  • Settings live in one simple file
  • Search and keyboard shortcuts

Cons: where it falls short

  • Needs a web server or Docker
  • Useful mainly if you run your own services

Who Homer is for

People who run several self-hosted tools and want one tidy launch page.

Who can skip it
