Glance

With over 35,000 GitHub stars in just two years, Glance has become the most popular self-hosted dashboard project on GitHub, outpacing established alternatives like Homarr and Homepage. Built as a single Go binary under 20MB with minimal JavaScript and zero external dependencies, Glance delivers a blazing-fast personal information dashboard that consolidates your entire digital morning routine into one beautiful page. Configure everything through clean YAML files that support modular includes and environment variable interpolation, with automatic hot-reload that applies changes without restarting the server. The widget ecosystem covers RSS and Atom feeds, Reddit and Hacker News frontpages, YouTube channel subscriptions, GitHub release timelines, weather forecasts from Open-Meteo, stock market quotes, Docker container status, Twitch live streams, calendar events via iCal, site monitor uptime checks, and custom HTML or iframe embeds. A community widgets repository extends functionality even further with user-contributed integrations. The theming system provides light, dark, and custom color schemes with multiple layout options including slim and wide column configurations. Authentication support added in 2025 secures access with username and password protection. Preconfigured page templates let you get started in seconds with curated layouts for development, homelab monitoring, news reading, and entertainment tracking. Deploy via Docker Compose or as a standalone binary on Linux, macOS, or Windows across AMD64 and ARM64 architectures. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
