Homer

"Dead simple static HOMepage for your servER" - Homer's name is the spec. It is a fully static HTML/JS dashboard driven by one YAML file (assets/config.yml): list your services in groups with names, icons, tags, and URLs, and Homer renders a clean, fast landing page for everything you self-host. Because there is no backend, no database, and nothing to maintain, the container is tiny and effectively zero-maintenance - the entire operational surface is a text file you can version-control alongside your infrastructure. Despite the minimalism, the feature set is genuinely useful: smart cards add live data to service tiles via a type key - Pi-hole block statistics, AdGuard Home status, Jellyfin activity, Gatus and Home Assistant states, and dozens more integrations, with configurable periodic refresh. Fuzzy search jumps to any service as you type, keyboard shortcuts drive navigation, and multi-page support with item grouping keeps large homelabs organized. Theming covers built-in light and dark modes plus full custom CSS, tags get color-coded styles, and the whole dashboard installs as a PWA on phones and tablets. Icons come from Font Awesome or your own images. If Dashy is the maximalist dashboard and Homarr the drag-and-drop one, Homer is the minimalist: one YAML file, instant loads, and nothing that can break at 2 a.m.
