Linux host
A mini PC, old desktop, NAS, Raspberry Pi, or dedicated server.
Homelab dashboard
Give your homelab one readable dashboard
Homeio brings Docker apps, files, terminal access, and live system metrics into one browser interface for people running a self-hosted lab at home.
homeio.app
Beginner stack
A home lab is easier when the pieces stay connected.
Docker apps
Run services such as Jellyfin, Immich, Pi-hole, Home Assistant, and Nextcloud.
Files and storage
Keep media, backups, app data, and shared folders visible.
Monitoring
Watch CPU, memory, disk, and network activity while services run.
Terminal access
Keep command-line control nearby for maintenance and troubleshooting.
Beyond a bookmark page
A homelab dashboard should do more than link to services. It should help you install, inspect, and maintain the machine that runs those services.
- Manage Docker apps
- See server health
- Reach files and terminal access
Built for repeated tasks
Self-hosting involves small repeated jobs: install an app, check a config, watch load, open logs, and confirm storage. Homeio keeps those workflows connected.
- Install from the app catalog
- Preview and manage files
- Use metrics before and after changes
Beginner-friendly, still useful
Beginners get a calmer starting point, while experienced homelab operators keep access to Docker-native workflows and the terminal when they need more control.
- No cloud sign-in required
- Browser-based control
- Docker Compose-friendly model
Where Homeio fits
Homeio is the dashboard layer for the lab.
Homeio gives a homelab the operating surface missing from a pile of separate app UIs. You still own the hardware and services, but common maintenance happens from one place: app management, storage, terminal commands, and monitoring.
FAQ
Questions before you build the lab.
What should a homelab dashboard include?
A useful homelab dashboard should include app status, access to common services, file management, terminal access, and system monitoring so you can operate the server, not just open links.
Is Homeio only a dashboard?
No. Homeio includes a Docker app manager, file manager, terminal, app store, settings, and monitoring, so it functions as a management dashboard rather than a static launch page.
Can Homeio replace Portainer in a homelab?
Homeio can be a friendlier daily surface for many home lab tasks. Portainer is still useful for deep container administration, while Homeio focuses on the broader home server workflow.
