Fenrus

Fenrus is a self-hosted personal homepage/new tab dashboard designed to provide fast access to your apps, services, and links. It supports organizing content into dashboards and groups, and can enrich entries with additional app-specific information.

Key Features

• Custom dashboards with groups containing links, apps, and nested dashboards
• Multiple item types: simple links, basic apps, and “smart” apps with richer metadata and status details
• Built-in user system with registration and an admin role for user management
• Search engine shortcuts with configurable query templates and icons
• Automatic favicon fetching when an icon is not provided
• Designed to run via Docker or as a .NET application, with persisted configuration stored on disk

Use Cases

• Personal homelab startpage to centralize access to self-hosted services
• Household or small team dashboard with multiple user accounts
• Unified landing page with quick links plus lightweight status context for common apps

Limitations and Considerations

• Some advanced functionality (for example terminals/logs/SSH and uptime recording) may require additional permissions and careful security configuration, especially behind a reverse proxy

Fenrus is a practical choice for users who want a clean, customizable portal for their apps without depending on a third-party startpage service. It is flexible enough for simple link collections while also supporting richer, app-aware widgets where available.
