What is Astroluma?

Astroluma is a self-hosted home lab dashboard for homelab enthusiasts who want a central interface to manage links, tasks, code snippets, and monitor network devices. It supports multiple users with individual instances, organizes links in nested categories, highlights important links on a featured page, and scans the local network with Wake-on-LAN support. Built-in productivity tools include a todo list manager, snippet storage, and TOTP code generation. The dashboard connects to over 15 external services such as media managers, RSS readers, Git hosting, cloud storage, container orchestration, and monitoring tools. Users can choose from 15 built-in themes, configure icon packs, and adjust the sidebar layout. It runs via Docker Compose alongside a MongoDB database and uses host networking so the network scanner can reach local devices.
