My homelab dashboard

Transcript

I finally had time to set up a dashboard for my homelab. I can access my Docker apps and monitor server usage all from one dashboard. It looks pretty basic so far. I don't have much on here. I'm using Dashy. I'll probably switch to something better. I hear there are better options out there. But this was still a fun learning experience.
