Heimdall Application Dashboard is an elegant, open-source, self-hosted web portal designed to organize and streamline access to all your web applications and services from a single screen. Maintained by the popular LinuxServer.io community, it provides a visually pleasing alternative to standard, unorganized browser bookmarks, making it an ideal choice for home lab enthusiasts, families, and small businesses alike. Key Features
Centralized Interface: Serves as a perfect browser homepage or “launchpad” for your services.
Integrated Search Bar: Includes built-in support to search using Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo.
Multilingual Support: Offers localization in multiple languages, including English, German, French, and Spanish.
Customization: Supports background changes, custom CSS, and animated GIF backgrounds.
Security Controls: Automatically blocks requests to private or reserved IP addresses by default to prevent Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). App Classifications
Heimdall categorizes links into three distinct application types:
Generic Apps: Basic shortcuts where you manually provide a name, link, and upload your own icon.
Foundation Apps: Recognizes 100+ popular self-hosted software applications. It automatically pulls the correct background color and high-resolution icon when you start typing the app name.
Enhanced Apps: Connects directly to an application’s API to display live, real-time statistics right on the dashboard tile. For example, linking an enhanced app like Sabnzbd will display active download speeds and queue sizes without forcing you to open the app. Installation & Setup Heimdall – An Application dashboard and launcher – GitHub
