What is Dasherr?
Dasherr is a minimal, lightweight dashboard for self-hosted services and bookmarks. It runs as a PHP application on any webserver (nginx, Apache, Caddy) and requires no database. The dashboard displays service tiles organized in sections, with optional widgets that pull live data from Glances (CPU, memory, temperature), Proxmox, and pfSense. All configuration lives in a single JSON file that can be edited through a built-in web editor. Dasherr includes several built-in themes (including dark variants), supports custom wallpaper backgrounds and FontAwesome or custom image icons, and allows alternate configuration files via a URL parameter for multi-environment setups. Service tiles show an online/offline status dot checked on page load. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0 and has no user authentication — it's designed for trusted local network access.
