Dashwise

Dashwise is an all-in-one homelab dashboard that centralizes links, widgets and small integrations. It pairs a Next.js frontend with a PocketBase backend to provide per-user JSON configs, GUI editing and a modular dashboard layout.

Key Features

• GUI-based management for links, search engines, wallpapers and settings
• Built-in authentication via PocketBase with optional OIDC SSO support
• Link management with Link Groups and optional HTTP-based uptime monitoring and downtime logging
• Modular widgets and "glanceables" that can be moved and customized per user
• Spotlight-like quick search (Ctrl+K) with support for bangs and indexed search items
• Wallpaper upload and default wallpaper customization for new users
• Docker Compose deployment with an optional jobs container for background indexing and monitoring tasks
• Integration hooks for self-hosted apps (limited integrations available initially)

Use Cases

• A personal or homelab startpage to centralize service links, quick actions and system glanceables
• Lightweight uptime checks and quick visibility for frequently used self-hosted services
• Shared dashboard for small teams to store and organize links, search shortcuts and widgets

Limitations and Considerations

• Project is under active development; some planned integrations and widget types are not yet implemented
• Backend depends on PocketBase (SQLite) which may limit scalability for very large multi-user deployments
• Link monitoring is basic (HTTP GET checks) and not a full-featured monitoring/alerting system

Dashwise is focused on a clean, configurable startpage experience for self-hosters who want a GUI-managed dashboard with lightweight monitoring and integration points. It is suited for personal and small-team usage where simplicity and local control are priorities.
