Homer

Homer is a self-hosted dashboard and start-page application that you run on your own server instead of renting it as a cloud service. Running it yourself keeps the data on your own network and lets you back it up however you like.

Its public repository on GitHub currently shows 11.6K stars, a useful signal of community interest. Repository activity was last recorded on Aug 30, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.

Before you switch

Dashboards are personal — the best one is the one you will actually keep tidy. Look for widget or integration support for the services you already run, and check whether configuration lives in a simple file you can back up and version.

Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Homer is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
