Self-host Dashy for your bookmarks, homelab and daily tools.
Dashy is a customizable personal dashboard for links, service status and widgets. VibeNest deploys a pinned, protected adapter with persistent configuration and free SSL.
Personal start page
Organize bookmarks, apps and frequently used tools into sections that match your own workflow.
Homelab dashboard
Keep service links, status indicators and widgets together without relying on a shared public dashboard.
Protected by default
The adapter requires generated credentials for the dashboard and configuration routes. Only the health endpoint stays anonymous for platform checks.
Deploy Dashy in one click
- 1. Launch the adapter VibeNest opens the deploy flow with the tested repository, branch and Compose recipe pre-filled.
- 2. Confirm hardware Use your one Free server or a paid slot. The adapter itself enforces the Free compute limits.
- 3. Sign in and customize Open the protected URL, then replace the safe starter links with your own bookmarks and services.
An open-source dashboard that stays yours
A personal dashboard becomes useful when it remembers your sections, links, theme and widgets. Dashy stores that configuration on a persistent volume, so a normal container restart or a redeploy does not erase the page you built.
The VibeNest recipe pins Dashy 4.7.0 by immutable image digest, disables its outbound proxy endpoints and adds a fail-closed authentication gate. That makes the live demo safe to leave online while preserving the real owner workflow behind a login.
Validated on Free-equivalent limits
The deployment was exercised with 256 MB RAM, 0.5 vCPU and 4 GB storage: the same compute and storage limits as the current VibeNest Free server. Runtime checks included authenticated use, persistence through restart and persistence through a fresh redeploy.
Source, VibeNest recipe and live proof
Original open-source project
Review the upstream source, release notes and MIT license before you deploy or update the app.
Original GitHubVibeNest-ready recipe
The VibeNest adapter pins Dashy 4.7.0 by image digest, persists /app/user-data, disables outbound proxy endpoints, requires a generated ADMIN_PASSWORD for every route except /healthz and enforces 256 MB RAM plus 0.5 vCPU in Compose.
Deploy repositoryPublic deployment proof
Anonymous /healthz returned HTTP 200 while the dashboard and configuration routes returned HTTP 401; authenticated owner UI loaded and persisted a safe bookmark after restart and redeploy.
Open live deploymentFrequently asked questions
Is Dashy open source? +
Yes. Dashy is MIT-licensed open-source software. The VibeNest adapter keeps upstream Dashy intact and adds deployment, persistence and access-control defaults.
Why run my own Dashy instance? +
A useful dashboard contains your links, service names, layout, theme and widgets. Your own instance keeps that configuration attached to your project instead of a shared public page.
Does Dashy fit the VibeNest Free server? +
The adapter was validated with Free-equivalent limits of 256 MB RAM, 0.5 vCPU and 4 GB storage. One Free server is available per account; heavier widgets or traffic may need a paid tier.
Is the dashboard public? +
The URL is reachable on the web, but the adapter requires generated Basic Auth credentials for every dashboard and configuration route. Only /healthz is anonymous so VibeNest can monitor the service.
Will my dashboard survive a redeploy? +
Yes. The tested recipe mounts /app/user-data on a persistent volume, and an owner-created bookmark remained after both a restart and a redeploy.
Which Dashy version is deployed? +
The adapter pins the official Dashy 4.7.0 image by immutable digest. The source adapter records the upstream release commit and license for reproducible review.
