Dashy seems like a great idea for home labs. I have had such issues keeping track of home servers that I almost quit trying to build new labs. I need to get back on the horse to learn Docker and Kubernetes.
These things have come along way but after 20 years of writing my own for this, and 20 years of refinements, the OS versions still have a long way to come, and they will, we live in exciting times, i tryed a few OS ones last year and i was impressed with alot of what they could do. They aint replaced my own yet but its comming.
Bro omg that's 40 years ago. I've been around and working in computing since then as well... Here, have a seat right here.... what in the god damn hell are you talking about. What the actual hell. What the hell was there to be monitoring our 2600 baud commodore 64's and pc tandies with some mac ii's FACEPALM'D SO HARD JUST NOW We had jack all for any network or connectivity bbs was just starting and you were more likely to sneaker net 5 1/4" floppies to and from friends and work. I'm all for learning and supporting people on their &$*# journey but don't be a fake a$$ person and talk absolute dog 💩about everything to which you know nothing.
Hello There, Thank you for the video. Just want to check what was installed on the ubuntu box prior to installing Dashy? Is it both docker and docker compose? Thank you
Sorry, but i got nearly no usefull info from this video. I’d like to know: What can this dashboard do? Can it store and/or show statistics? Are there any presets or i need to set everything from scratch every time? How it compares with Grafana functionality? In what ways it can be better than Grafana?
Well it is pretty but I need it to do RDP and VNC connections too and it seems like it only does web page serving. It is cool but could be improved in my opinion.
You might want to take a look at Heimdall. It's got some plugins, api's, etc for a bunch of common docker services that will post stats on the dashboard itself. For instance you can have it display Portainer stats as far as how many containers are running, stopped, etc. And I agree. I really like the way Dashy looks but would really like to have some live stats on the dashboard.
I have up on dashboards some time ago. too much tweaking and stuff for nothing Tossed in a basic html with hyperlinks and it's super fast and it does the job.
@@VirtualizationHowto Appreciating your reply! That was wat I was doing as well... I pasted it into the icon field, however keep on getting the 'broken icon' type of icon to see. Weird. I must be doing something wrong, not sure what though. Frustrating to start with something new like this and to bump against something so simple/stupid like an icon that does not want to show properly. Aaarrggghhh...
@@calhta yeah url route still dont work. you can just download them into a folder locally. I am setting them along with my docker compose and volume mounting them. They are available offline too that way.
Dashy... Well Saving to disk doesnt work as expected - as its important to rebuild application afterwards. Which is a slow and tedious process -- should be way faster and automatic upon save to disk. The 2 save methods should be accruately named: - Save to Browser - Save (but not really applied, dont press save again or you might overwrite data that has yet to be rebuildt, sorry -- not sorry) Oh, and refrain from your hard video cuts.
Why are all dashboards in a docker container? Why can't I just install (unzip) them in my existing webserver? Why do I keep getting errors despite following the manuals? Why do all IT guys tell you it only takes a minute to setup and then make a 30 minute video? I spent almost as much time tryinh to get the dashboard to work than setting up my Proxmox server (which worked the very first time) and installing all my VMs. To me personally, it starts to feel that this dashboards is too complex to set up for what it is supposed to do. So where can I find a video that explains me what I did wrong because surely, I can't be the first and only one who's struggeling with this ?
why is it special... that you don't need to redeploy a whole application container just to manage the config? wowwwwww it's 2022 and it's worse than 2005! (i first wrote 1996, but that wasn't correct, there was just no notion of modifiying layouts, you'd get one and have that. but you of course had easily changeable configs). I liked your explanations in the end about the rationale and use cases.
I'm using Dashy and it's a great addition to my lab.
More videos like this one please.
Maor, that is awesome! Thanks for the comment and definitely more to come.

I love finding FOSS home lab dashboards. Thanks for this.
;an nice toy behind you! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Juan!

Great video! I love Dashy, and have been using it for a while now! It just keeps getting better! Great work!
I've been watching your videos, I am really enjoying the Open Source for Business.
hey! I just watched your open source software list part 1. thats why im here!
having a dashboard is such a great help.. I use Homarr but there are tons of options. Pair this with a reverse proxy and you're rocking in SSL.
A bit nerdy for my taste , but still cool! , I use homarr myself. but nice to see there's another potential solution
Thanks for this video! learned something
Thanks for the great Video
Thank you!
Very nice 👍
Thank you 👍
Cool, thanks 👍👍
No problem 👍
Nice informative
Thanks for watching the video!
I like it.
Thank you SB!

A demo of how this shows status of your home lab services would be nice. This video just showed a bunch of pretty links.
Uptime Kuma is really good for this! It also runs in docker and can even ping you via telegram if one of your services goes down

Wish I could figure out how to use widgets and those fancy status updaters for service buttons.
cant figure it out too
I'm a simple man so I've been using Heimdall I'll check out dashy
Heimdall is awesome, have checked it out before...got into Dashy and settled on it for my lab, but use what's best for you, the beauty of home labs :)
Try Homer too?
I keep track of all my services for my home network in my network documentation. I just keep those on my NAS.
Awesome that can be effective. The problem for me it is always hard to keep documentation updated without some type of automation
Where can you find the file that Dashy made on the fly? I cant find the conf.yml file
It is your real voice or text to speech? How could you syc audio with your lip
What is the best laptop for running severap VMs in 2022???
EC, really the one that you can afford to put the most memory in. Usually memory is the constraint. I would also go for NVMe as you won't regret it.
You don't even touch on the widgets which is one of dashy's amazing features I have pihole stats and system monitoring on my dashboard
At around 10:30, you are showing how to add a URL for the icon however without showing the URL itself. What URL are you pasting in there?
Nonkel Sue, I am pulling straight from here: github.com/walkxhub/dashboard-icons/tree/master/png

@@nonkelsue Yep, same problem - crazy thing to stop me using the whole dashboard!

I use heimdall. It’s just simple…
Not a fan because you can't organize freely
+1 for heimdall
Apple vs Android
???@@IJayJayI
first part was abit cringe BUUTTTT amazing tutorial lol
More like fancy bookmarks.
What about unRAID ?

Are you a lizard?
long video for a glorified shortcut window
Limpqizbuit, thanks for the comment! Home dashboards aren't for everyone. I was just showing the basics here. However, dashy can do quite a bit more.
wow that intro is cringe
@guinea_horn thanks! LOL 😆
