docker-php-startpage

docker-php-startpage is a Docker image that serves a PHP/Twig-based personal startpage (new-tab dashboard) using Apache. It provides a sample configuration and is designed to be customized by mounting user files into the container.

Key Features

• Docker image built from the official PHP base with Apache to serve a startpage
• Templates rendered with Twig and shipped with sample layouts and themes (light/dark)
• Uses a sample config.json and supports mounting a host volume at /var/www/html/user_includes for custom configs and template overrides
• Multi-architecture image builds (linux/amd64, linux/arm64, linux/arm/v7)
• Simple docker-compose examples included for quick deployment and debugging
• Performs server-side URL status checks, suitable for showing link/status tiles on the startpage

Use Cases

• Host a lightweight personal startpage or new-tab dashboard with quick links and status tiles
• Provide a central links/dashboard page for a small self-hosted homelab or private network
• Rapidly prototype or customize startpage templates using Twig and mounted configuration files

Limitations and Considerations

• No built-in authentication or user management; intended for private/home use behind a proxy or LAN
• Configuration is file-based (mounted files); there is no web-based config editor
• Server-side URL checks require the container to have network access to target URLs

docker-php-startpage is a minimal, template-driven startpage image aimed at users who want a simple, customizable dashboard they can run via Docker or docker-compose.
