Visit Nimbus

Nimbus is an open-source homelab dashboard for organizing services in one place. It can be used as a hosted cloud service or self-hosted with Docker, requiring only two environment variables for setup.

Its features include service monitoring with real-time health checks, response time tracking, status history, and uptime graphs, along with smart handling of self-signed certificates. Authentication supports local accounts with JWT, OAuth2 providers (Google, GitHub, Discord), role-based access control, and an admin panel for user management. Additional capabilities include configurable check intervals, Prometheus metrics export, and per-user personalization such as custom backgrounds, light/dark mode, accent color themes, and drag-and-drop service tiles. The interface is mobile responsive.

Nimbus is aimed at the homelab community. It is released under the AGPL-3.0 license and is available both as a hosted cloud service and as a self-hosted deployment via Docker, with the same codebase in both options.
