Configuring 🔧
For full configuration documentation, see: Configuring
Dashy is configured through a YAML file, located at ./public/conf.yml. In addition, you can find a complete list of available options in the Configuring Docs. The config can also be edited and saved directly through the UI.
Theming 🎨
For full theming documentation, see: Theming
Dashy comes pre-bundled with several built-in themes, which you can preview, applied and edit through the UI. With the theme configurator and support for custom CSS, everything is in place to quickly develop your unique-looking dashboard.
Icons 🧸
For full iconography documentation, see: Icons
Both sections and items can have an icon associated with them, defined under the icon attribute. With several different icon packs supported, you'll be able to find the perfect thumbnail for any app or service.
The following icon types are supported:
- Favicon - Automatically fetch an apps icon from its Favicon or logo image
- Icon Packs - Use any icon from font-awesome, simple-icons or material icons
- Emoji - Any valid emoji can be used as an icon
- Generative - Unique, auto-generated images for easily identifying services
- URL - Pass the URL of any valid image in to have it fetched and rendered
- Local - Store custom images locally and reference by filename
- Homelab Icons - Using dashboard-icons for logos of commonly self-hosted services
Status Indicators 🚦
For full monitoring documentation, see: Status Indicators
Dashy has an optional feature to check if each app/ service is up and responding, then display a small status indicator icon. Hovering over it will show additional stats like response time and status code.
Status indicators can be globally enabled by setting appConfig.statusCheck: true or enabled/ disabled on a per-item basis. Status is checked on page load, but you can allow continuous polling by specifying a time interval between checks, in seconds under appConfig.statusCheckInterval. You can also use a different endpoint for status checking, with statusCheckUrl, and if needed, pass in custom headers under statusCheckHeaders.
Widgets 📊
For full widget documentation, see: Widgets
You can display dynamic content from services in the form of widgets. There are several pre-built widgets availible for showing useful info, and integrations with commonly self-hosted services, but you can also easily create your own for almost any app.
Authentication 💂
For full authentication documentation, see: Authentication
Dashy has full support for secure single-sign-on using Keycloak for secure, easy authentication, see setup docs for a full usage guide.
There is also a basic auth feature, which doesn't require additional setup. To enable this, add an auth attribute under appConfig, containing an array of users, each with a username, SHA-256 hashed password and optional user type. Basic auth also supports several access control features, including read-only guest access and granular controls.
appConfig:
auth:
users:
- user: alicia
hash: 4D1E58C90B3B94BCAD9848ECCACD6D2A8C9FBC5CA913304BBA5CDEAB36FEEFA3
type: admin
Other access control systems are also supported, see the Alternative Auth Methods docs.
Alternate Views 👓
As well as the default homepage, there is also:
- A minimal view, valid for use as a browser start page
- A workspace view, useful for visiting many apps simultaneously
You can change the view from the UI, using the switch icon in the top-right corner, or select a default view in the config under appConfig.startingView attribute.
Example of Workspace View
Example of Minimal View
Opening Methods 🖱️
For full documentation on views and opening methods, see: Alternate Views
There are several different ways you can launch apps. You can specify the default opening method for any given item under the target attribute or set a site-wide default under appConfig.defaultOpeningMethod. Right-click on an item to item for all options. The following options are supported:
sametab- The app will be launched in the current tabnewtab- The app will be launched in a new tab (or use Ctrl + Click)modal- Launch app in a resizable/ movable popup modal on the current page (or use Alt + Click)workspace- Changes to Workspace view and launches apptop- Opens in the top-most browsing context, useful if you're accessing Dashy through an iframe
Searching and Shortcuts 🔎
For full documentation on searching, see: Searching & Shortcuts
Quickly finding and launching applications is the primary aim of Dashy. To that end, instant search and customizable keyboard shortcuts are built-in.
To start filtering, start typing—no need to select the search bar or use any special key. Then use either the tab key or arrow keys to select and move between results, and hit enter to launch the currently selected application.
For apps that you use regularly, you can set a custom keybinding. Use the hotkey parameter on a certain item to specify a numeric key between 0 - 9. You can then launch that app by just pressing that key.
You can also add custom tags to a given item to make finding them based on keywords easier. For example, in the following example, searching for 'Movies' will show 'Plex'
"`yaml items:
- title: Plex hotkey: 8 icon: favicon description: Media library url: https://plex.lab.local tags: [ movies, videos, music ]
To search the web directly through Dashy, just press enter after typing your query. Options for web search are set under `appConfig.webSearch`. There is built-in support for [10+ search engines](./docs/searching.md#setting-search-engine), or [use your own custom provider](./docs/searching.md#using-custom-search-engine) or self-hosted instance. With the web search, you can also define your bangs to redirect results to any given app, website, or search engine, when the query is preceded with a certain character sequence (usually beginning in `/`, `!` or `:`).
```yaml
webSearch:
searchEngine: duckduckgo
openingMethod: newtab
searchBangs:
/r: reddit
/w: wikipedia
/s: https://whoogle.local/search?q=
':wolf': wolframalpha
':so': stackoverflow
':git': github
Hit Esc at any time to close any open apps, clear the search field, or hide any modals.
Config Editor ⚙️
For full config documentation, see: Configuring
As well as passing in a YAML config file, you can also configure the app directly through the UI and preview changes live.
To edit any section or item, right-click on it, and select "Edit", or enter the Edit Mode (using the Pen icon in the top-right), then click any part of the page to edit. Changes will be visible immediately but will not be saved until clicking "Save to Disk" or "Save Locally".
Under the config menu, you can export, view, backup, or reset app config and edit the raw config file in a text editor with built-in schema validation. It's recommended to keep a backup of your config.
Cloud Backup & Sync ☁
For full backup documentation, see: Cloud Backup & Sync
Dashy has an optional built-in feature for securely backing up your config to a hosted cloud service and then restoring it on another instance. This is useful not only for backing up your configuration off-site but also enables Dashy to be used without having to write a YAML config file.
All data is fully E2E encrypted before being sent to the backend (done in CloudBackup.js using crypto.js 's AES method). The data is then sent to a Cloudflare worker and stored in a KV data store.
Language Switching 🌎
For full internationalization documentation, see: Multi-Language Support
Dashy supports multiple languages and locales. When available, your language should be automatically detected and applied on load. But you can also select a language through the UI (under config --> Switch Language) or set appConfig.language to your language (specified as a 2-digit ISO 639-1 code).

Add your Language
I would love Dashy to be available to everyone without language being a barrier to entry. If you've got a few minutes to spare, consider adding translations for your language. It's a quick task, and all text is in a single JSON file. Since any missing text will fall back to English, you don't need to translate it all.
System Requirements 📊
The hardware requirements vary depending on where and how you are running Dashy. Generally speaking, on a bare-metal system or Docker container, 1GB of memory should be more than enough, and depending on whether you are using your own assets, then 1GB of disk space should be sufficient.
If you are using one of the 1-click cloud deployment methods, serving the app through a CDN or using a static hosting provider, then there are no specific requirements, as the built app is just a series of static JS files, and so is very light-weight.
Dashy also wells run on low-powered ARM-based single board computers, such as a Raspberry Pi (tested on Pi 3)

Dashy is under active development, with features, improvements, and changes pushed almost daily.
We're using Semantic Versioning to indicate major, minor, and patch versions. You can find the current version number in the readme and check the version of your app under the config menu. The version number is pulled from the package.json file.
Typically there is a new major release every 2 - 4 weeks, usually on Sunday, and you can view these under the Releases Page and on DockerHub. In addition, new minor versions are pushed several times a week and are tagged here.
For a full breakdown of each change, you can view the Changelog. In addition, each new feature or significant change needs to be submitted through a pull request, which makes it easy to review and track these changes, and roll back if needed.
