Yet another dashboard for self-hosted services (alien.top)

Hello all self-hosters!

Recently, I've upgraded my server hardware and did all the self-hosting from scratch. I've been looking for cool personal dashboards, but couldn't find anything to match my needs. So, I did put some improvements into my old project and decided to keep using it.

Bcoz my friends at university say it's quite a cool dashboard, I decided to share it here as someone else might also like it :)

What do you guys think about it?

Looks interesting, thanks for sharing!

Two notes:

  • You should add atleast one more screenshot, something like a dashboard people would want to see how it could look in daily usage (with a few services added etc) before they install it themselves.

  • You should really consider providing a Docker image for people to use. A lot of people will simply avoid using this at all based on that. You dont need to code your own webserver obviously, just use something that exists already and stick your files into it, make a Dockerfile out of it, add it to Github actions so it automatically builds it when you do a new release.

Thanks for suggestions! There's already a demo running on Vercel, but I will keep in mind to add more ss and Docker support.

Tried to run it with a basic naked nginx but i only get a black screen as website, no 404 etc atleast. But nothing else, tried in incognito window with no adblockers etc both Firefox and Chrome.

Webserver log looks mostly good, the only thing i can spot is a 404 for GET /js/App HTTP/1.1" 404 but i have confirmed that /js/App.js exists, should it try to access App or App.js?

Other things in the log like GET /css/Flags/Dark.css HTTP/1.1" 200 and "GET /js/main.js HTTP/1.1" 200 are fine.

Yes, sometimes just cloning the repo isn't enough :)

That's why GitHub provides us Releases for projects like this :)

I think the privacy indicator (percentage) is monitoring requests of the server to catch any 3rd party request.

I would second the vote on the creation of a Dockered setup that would allow for save configurations. I know many others who'd agree with me - many people (like me) just don't have the time to futz around most times to staging up a small app such as tis.
