Getting Started 🛫
For full setup instructions, see: Deployment
Deploying from Docker Hub 🐳
You will need Docker installed on your system
docker run -p 8080:80 lissy93/dashy
Or
docker run -d \
-p 4000:80 \
-v /root/my-local-conf.yml:/app/public/conf.yml \
--name my-dashboard \
--restart=always \
lissy93/dashy:latest
After making changes to your configuration file, you will need to run: docker exec -it [container-id] yarn build to rebuild. You can also run other commands, such as yarn validate-config this way too. Container ID can be found by running docker ps. Healthchecks are pre-configured to monitor the uptime and response times of Dashy, and the status of which can be seen in the container logs, e.g. docker inspect --format "{{json .State.Health }}" [container-id].
Deploying from Source 🚀
You will need both git and the latest or LTS version of Node.js installed on your system
- Get Code:
git clone git@github.com:Lissy93/dashy.gitandcd dashy - Configuration: Fill in you're settings in
./public/conf.yml - Install dependencies:
yarn - Build:
yarn build - Run:
yarn start
After making changes to your configuration file, you will need to run: yarn build to rebuild.
Deploy to the Cloud
Dashy supports 1-Click deployments on several popular cloud platforms (with more on the way!). To get started, just click a link below:
Configuring 🔧
For full configuration documentation, see: Configuring
Dashy is configured with a single YAML file, located at ./public/conf.yml (or ./app/public/conf.yml for Docker). Any other optional user-customizable assets are also located in the ./public/ directory, e.g. favicon.ico, manifest.json, robots.txt and web-icons/*. If you are using Docker, the easiest way to method is to mount a Docker volume (e.g. -v /root/my-local-conf.yml:/app/public/conf.yml)
In the production environment, the app needs to be rebuilt in order for changes to take effect. This should happen automatically, but can also be triggered by running yarn build, or docker exec -it [container-id] yarn build if you are using Docker (where container ID can be found by running docker ps).
You can check that your config matches Dashy's schema before deploying, by running yarn validate-config.
It is now possible to update Dashy's config directly through the UI, and have changes written to disk. You can disable this feature by setting: appConfig.allowConfigEdit: false. If you are using users within Dashy, then you need to be logged in to a user of type: admin in order to modify the configuration globally. You can also trigger a rebuild of the app through the UI (Settings --> Rebuild). The current theme, and other visual preferences are only stored locally, unless otherwise specified in the config file. The option to only apply config changes locally is still available, and can be used in conjunction with the cloud backup feature to sync data between instances.
You may find these example config helpful for getting you started
Theming 🎨
For full theming documentation, see: Theming
The app comes with a number of built-in themes, but it's also easy to write you're own. All colors, and most other CSS properties make use of CSS variables, which makes customizing the look and feel of Dashy very easy.
You can also apply custom CSS overrides directly through the UI (Under Config menu --> Custom CSS), or specify it in your config file under appConfig.customCss. If you have a lot of custom styles, you can pass in the path to a stylesheet, in appConfig.externalStyleSheet.
Icons 🧸
For full iconography documentation, see: Icons
Both sections and items can have an icon associated with them, and defined under the icon attribute. There are many options for icons, including Font Awesome support, automatic fetching from favicon, programmatically generated icons and of course URLs.
If icon is set to favicon, then it will be automatically fetched from the URL of the corresponding application. To use any font-awesome icon, specify the category, followed by the icon name, e.g. fas fa-rocket, fab fa-monero or fas fa-unicorn, you can also use Pro icons, by setting your API key under appConfig.fontAwesomeKey. If the icon is set to generative, then a unique icon is generated from the apps URL or IP. You can also host an icon either locally or using any CDN service, and pass it's URL into the icon attribute, e.g. https://i.ibb.co/710B3Yc/space-invader-x256.png. To use a local image, store it in ./public/item-icons/ (or -v /app/public/item-icons/ in Docker) , and reference it by name and extension - e.g. set icon: image.png to use ./public/item-icon/image.png, you can also use sub-folders here if you have a lot of icons, to keep them organised.
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 feature is totally optional, and if you do not enable it, then Dashy will not make any external network requests.
This is useful not only for backing up your configuration off-site, but it also enables Dashy to be used without having write a YAML config file, and makes it possible to use a public hosted instance, without the need to self-host.
All data is encrypted before being sent to the backend. In Dashy, this is done in CloudBackup.js, using crypto.js's AES method, using the users chosen password as the key. The data is then sent to a Cloudflare worker (a platform for running serverless functions), and stored in a KV data store.
Authentication 💂
For full authentication documentation, see: Authentication
Dashy has a built-in login feature, which can be used for basic access control. To enable this feature, add an auth attribute under appConfig, containing an array of users, each with a username, SHA-256 hashed password and optional user type.
appConfig:
auth:
- user: alicia
hash: 4D1E58C90B3B94BCAD9848ECCACD6D2A8C9FBC5CA913304BBA5CDEAB36FEEFA3
At present, access control is handled on the frontend, and therefore in security-critical situations, it is recommended to use an alternate method for authentication, such as Authelia, a VPN or web server and firewall rules.
Status Indicators 🚦
For full monitoring documentation, see: Status Indicators
Dashy has an optional feature that can display a small icon (like this) next to each of your running services, indicating it's current status. This is useful if you are using Dashy as your homelab's start page, as it gives you an overview of the health of each of your running services. By default, this feature is off, but you can enable it globally by setting appConfig.statusCheck: true, or enable/ disable it for an individual item, with item[n].statusCheck.
Developing 🧱
For full development documentation, see: Developing
- Get Code:
git clone git@github.com:Lissy93/dashy.gitandcd dashy - Install dependencies:
yarn - Start dev server:
yarn dev
Hot reload is enabled, so changes will be detected automatically, triggering the app to be rebuilt and refreshed. Ensure that all lint checks and tests are passing before pushing an code or deploying the app.
If you are new to Vue.js or web development and want to learn more, here are some resources to help get you started. Dashy is a pretty straight-forward application, so would make an ideal candidate for your first PR!

Contributors 👥
Dependencies 🔗
This app definitely wouldn't have been quite so possible without the making use of the following package and components. Full credit and big kudos to their respective authors, who've done an amazing job in building and maintaining them.
Core
At it's core, the application uses Vue.js, as well as it's services. Styling is done with SCSS, JavaScript is currently Babel, (but I am in the process of converting to TypeScript), linting is done with ESLint, the config is defined in YAML, and there is a simple Node.js server to serve up the static app.

Backup & Sync Server
Although the app is purely frontend, there is an optional cloud backup and restore feature. This is built as a serverless function on Cloudflare workers using KV and web crypto
External Services
The 1-Click deploy demo uses Play-with-Docker Labs. Code is hosted on GitHub, Docker image is hosted on DockerHub, and the demos are hosted on Netlify.
Alternatives 🙌
There are a few self-hosted web apps, that serve a similar purpose to Dashy. If you're looking for a dashboard, and Dashy doesn't meet your needs, I highly recommend you check these projects out! Including, but not limited to: HomeDash2, Homer (Apache License 2.0), Organizr (GPL-3.0 License) and Heimdall (MIT License)
