Hubleys

Hubleys is a configurable multi-user dashboard and startpage designed to aggregate links and small widgets for multiple users. Dashboard contents are predefined by administrators and shown per user based on groups and headers provided by a reverse proxy/auth provider.

Key Features

• Per-user dashboards driven by Remote-User and Remote-Groups headers (works with forward-auth reverse proxy setups)
• Admin-defined link tiles organized in folders and searchable with autocomplete
• Widgets for upcoming calendar events, messages/announcements, clock, stopwatch, timer, current weather and forecast
• Customizable and dynamic backgrounds (including Unsplash and user-uploaded wallpaper collections)
• File-based persistent configuration and user settings stored under a /data directory for easy backups and customization
• Distributed as a Docker image with environment variable configuration and support for reverse proxy integration (examples for Authelia, Caddy, Nginx)

Use Cases

• Centralized startpage for home labs or small teams to provide a single launcher for self-hosted services
• Role-based internal portal where different user groups see tailored links and announcements
• Kiosk or shared workstation dashboard showing calendar, weather and quick-access links

Limitations and Considerations

• Hubleys does not provide built-in authentication; it requires a reverse proxy and external auth provider to set Remote-User and related headers
• Some features (weather, Unsplash backgrounds) require external API keys and may not function without them
• Dashboard contents are primarily admin-controlled; per-user customization is limited to the options exposed by the admin-configured defaults

Hubleys is lightweight and focused on providing a simple, group-aware dashboard experience that integrates into existing reverse-proxy and authentication infrastructures. It is suited for admins who prefer centrally managed link catalogs and small widgets per user.
