Comment on Homepage - Selfhosting Dashboard

This is 95% more information than you can consume or find useful. I cannot get these type of homepages except to have done a thing and feel happy about it. My “homepage” is a link to all my services, but I rarely use it because of that thing in between my ears that allows me to remember what service I want to use.
I keep trying to use these, install and configure them, then never touch them again. I run across them when I’m roaming around on my one of my docker servers a year later and nuke them.
I’d love to find something that sticks, though. Hasn’t happened yet.
I like homarr. But it’s just a glorified link tree.
But when you have like 20+ services just remembering them and where they are hosted some organisation goes a long way
Yea, dashboards are useless. Eventually you learn alerts are all that matter.
Thank you for saying that. I always wonder if veterans really need to know that much information at all times. As a hobbyist, I only care about when things don’t work. My homepage is just a bunch of icons. I could have put them in the browser as a bookmark but it’s just not convenient. Then I set up Dockhand to alert me when things go wrong. That’s it.

Actually I suffer from something called “monitoring fatigue” or “notification fatigue” at work. There’s so many monitoring notifications, half of which are nothingburgers, that I seriously hate that part of my job is responding to them.
I already disabled notifications for my email in our monitoring system and now there’s just another department monitoring the monitoring system and creating tickets for me.
mik3dd0@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago I share this sentiment. I have Beszel running on my homelab but I so rarely use it.
There is much merit in doing a thing if only for the experience of doing it.
Yes, well, some of us have dented brains. Plus I like a good UI. I’d rather just click an icon.
