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
If you prefer to use Docker Compose, here is an example.
Dashy is also available through GHCR, run: docker pull ghcr.io/lissy93/dashy.
To use Dashy on an system other than amd64, then use one of these tags. There are containers for arm32-7, arm64-v8 and a multi-architecture image.
The image defaults to :latest, but you can instead specify a specific version, e.g. docker pull lissy93/dashy:release-1.5.0
Once you've got Dashy running, you can take a look at App Management Docs, for info on using health checks, provisioning assets, configuring web servers, securing your app, logs, performance and more.
Deploying from Source 🚀
You will need git, the latest or LTS version of Node.js and (optionally) Yarn installed on your system.
- Get Code:
git clone https://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
See docs Full list of Dashy's commands

Dashy supports 1-Click deployments on several popular cloud platforms. To spin up a new instance, just click a link below:
Deploy to Netlify
Deploy to Heroku
Deploy to Vercel
Deploy to Render
Deploy to GCP
Deploy to PWDFor more 1-click cloud deployments, see Cloud Deployment
Configuring 🔧
For full configuration documentation, see: Configuring
All of Dashy's configuration is specified in a single YAML file, located at ./public/conf.yml. You can find a complete list of available options in th Configuring Docs. If you're using Docker, you'll probably want to pass this file in as a Docker volume (e.g. -v /root/my-local-conf.yml:/app/public/conf.yml).
The config can also be edited directly through the UI, with changes written to your conf.yml file. After making any modifications the app needs to be rebuilt, which will happen automatically or can be trigger with yarn build or directly through the UI.
You can check that your config is valid and matches Dashy's schema, by running: yarn validate-config.
Finally, you may find these example config helpful for getting you started.
Theming 🎨
For full theming documentation, see: Theming
Dashy comes with a number of built-in themes, but it's also easy to make you're own. You can either use the color editor, or you're own custom CSS. All colors, and most other CSS properties are specified using CSS variables, which are documented here, so customizing the look and feel of Dashy very easy. Learn more about adding your own theme in the docs.
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, emojis, programmatically generated icons and direct local or remote URLs.
- Favicon: Set
icon: faviconto fetch a services icon automatically from the URL of the corresponding application - Font-Awesome: To use any font-awesome icon, specify the category, followed by the icon name, e.g.
fas fa-rocketorfab fa-monero. You can also use Pro icons if you have a license key, just set it underappConfig.fontAwesomeKey - Simple Icons: Use any brand/ logo icon from simpleicons.org by setting the icon to
si-[icon-name] - Emoji: Use an emoji as a tile icon, by putting the emoji's code as the icon attribute. Emojis can be specified either as emojis (
🚀), unicode ('U+1F680') or shortcode (':rocket:') - Generative: Setting
icon: generative, will generate a unique logo for a given service, based on it's specified URL or IP - URL: You can also pass in a URL to an icon asset, hosted either locally or using any CDN service. E.g.
icon: https://i.ibb.co/710B3Yc/space-invader-x256.png - Local Image: To use a local image, store it in
./public/item-icons/(or create a volume in Docker:-v /local/image/directory:/app/public/item-icons/) , and reference it by name and extension - e.g. seticon: image.pngto use./public/item-icon/image.png. You can also use sub-folders here - Material Design Icons: You can also use any icon from materialdesignicons.com by setting the icon to
mdi-[icon-name]
Status Indicators 🚦
For full monitoring documentation, see: Status Indicators
Dashy has an optional feature that can display a small icon 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. Hovering over the indicator will show additional information, including average response time and an error message for services which are down.
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.
You can also specify an time interval in seconds under appConfig.statusCheckInterval, between checks, if this value is 0, then status is only checked on initial page load, which is the default behavior. Status checks use the url attribute, but to call a different endpoint instead, you can set statusCheckUrl. Custom headers can also be specified using statusCheckHeaders.
Authentication 💂
For full authentication documentation, see: Authentication
Dashy now has full support for secure single-sign-on using Keycloak! This provides secure, easy single-sign on. See setup docs for a full usage guide
There is also a simple login feature for basic access control, which doesn't require any additional setup. 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:
users:
- user: alicia
hash: 4D1E58C90B3B94BCAD9848ECCACD6D2A8C9FBC5CA913304BBA5CDEAB36FEEFA3
type: admin
Guest Access: By default, when authentication is configured no user can access your dashboard without first logging in. If you would like to allow for read-only access by unauthenticated users, then you can enable guest mode, by setting appConfig.auth.enableGuestAccess: true.
Granular Controls: With basic login, it is also possible to control which sections are visible to which users. Under the displayData property of a section, you can pass an array of usernames to one of the following attributes:
hideForUsers- Section will be visible to all users, except for those specified in this listshowForUsers- Section will be hidden from all users, except for those specified in this listhideForGuests- Section will be visible for all logged in users, but not for guests (if guest access is enabled)
Note: The simple auth method handles access control on the frontend, and therefore in security-critical situations, it is recommended to use an alternate method for authentication, like Keycloak or one of the alternatives.
Opening Methods 🖱️
For full documentation on views and opening methods, see: Alternate Views
One of the primary purposes of Dashy is to make launching commonly used apps and services as quick as possible. To aid in this, there are several different options on how items can be opened. You can configure your preference by setting the target property of any item, to one of the following values:
sametab- The app will be launched in the current tabnewtab- The app will be launched in a new tabmodal- Launch app in a resizable/ movable popup modal on the current pageworkspace- Changes to Workspace view, and launches app
Even if the target is not set (or is set to sametab), you can still launch any given app in an alternative method: Alt + Click will open the modal, and Ctrl + Click will open in a new tab. You can also right-click on any item to see all options (as seen in the screenshot below). This custom context menu can be disabled by setting appConfig.disableContextMenu: true.
In the workspace view, you can keep previously opened websites/ apps open in the background, by setting appConfig.enableMultiTasking: true. This comes at the cost of performance, but does mean that your session with each app is preserved, enabling you to quickly switch between your apps.
The modal and workspace views work by rendering the target application in an iframe. If you are getting a a Refused to Connect error, then you need to set the HTTP response header X-Frame-Options to ALLOW [url-for-dashy]. See the docs for instructions on how to do this.
Alternate Views 👓
As well as the default homepage, there is also:
- A minimal view, useful 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 (can be either default, minimal or workspace). Clicking the page title on any view will take you back to your default starting view.
Example of Workspace View
Example of Minimal View
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, just start typing. No need to select the search bar or use any special key. You can then use either the tab key or arrow keys to select and move between results, and hit enter to launch the currently selected application. You can also use Alt + Enter on a selected app to launch it in a popup modal, Ctrl + Enter to open in new tab, or right-click on it to see all opening methods.
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'
items:
- title: Plex
description: Media library
icon: favicon
url: https://plex.lab.local
tags: [ movies, videos, music ]
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, which is very useful for services you use frequently.
Example:
- title: Bookstack
icon: far fa-books
url: https://bookstack.local/
hotkey: 8
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, or use your own custom provider or self-hosted instance.
To disable web search all together, set: webSearch: { disableWebSearch: true }
webSearch:
searchEngine: duckduckgo
openingMethod: newtab
With the web search, you can also define your own 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 :).
For example, with the below code, typing :git dashy will search GitHub for Dashy, or /w docker will open the Docker Wikipedia page.
webSearch:
searchBangs:
/r: reddit
/w: wikipedia
/s: https://whoogle.local/search?q=
':wolf': wolframalpha
':so': stackoverflow
':git': github
Hit Esc at anytime to close any open apps, clear the search field, or hide any modals.
Config Editor ⚙️
For full config documentation, see: Configuring
From the Settings Menu in Dashy, you can download, backup, edit and rest your config. The editor will tell you if you've got any validation warnings.
A full list of available config options can be found here. It's recommend to make a backup of your configuration, as you can then restore it into a new instance of Dashy, without having to set it up again. json2yaml is very useful for converting between YAML to JSON and visa versa.
Update: A new and improved drag-and-drop UI editor is in progress, and should be released within the next couple of weeks!
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 in the future there will allow the use of the public hosted instance of Dashy for users without a server.
All data is fully E2E encrypted before being sent to the backend. In Dashy, this is done in CloudBackup.js, using crypto.js's AES method, with the users chosen password as the key. 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, you're language should be automatically detected and applied on load, based on your browser or systems settings. 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 for Dashy to be available to everyone, without language being a barrier to entry for non-native English speakers. If you have a few minutes to sapir, you're help with translating it would be very much appreciated. It's quite a quick task, all text is in a single JSON file, and you don't have to translate it all. For more info, see the Adding a New Language Docs, and feel free to reach out if you need any support.
Setting Dashboard Info 🌳
Page settings are defined under pageInfo. Here you can set things like title, sub-title, navigation links, footer text, etc. For example:
pageInfo:
title: Home Lab
description: Dashy
navLinks:
- title: Home
path: /
- title: Server Monitoring
path: https://server-start.local
- title: Start Page
path: https://start-page.local
footerText: 'My <b>Awesome</b> Dashboard. Built with <a href="https://dashy.to">Dashy</a>'
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 weather 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)

Repo Status:
Release Schedule 🗞️
For full release, automation and CI documentation, see: Releases & Workflows
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 your apps version under the config menu. The version number is pulled from the package.json file.
Typically there is a new major release every 2 weeks, usually on Sunday, and you can view these under the Releases Page. Each release will create a new tag on GitHub, and each major release will also result in the creation of a new tag on DockerHub, so that you can fix your container to a certain version.
For a full breakdown of each change, you can view the Changelog. 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.
