Stackyard
A self-hosted homelab dashboard you actually want to look at.
Try it: demo.sandobserver.com
Note: The first demo visit may take up to a minute due to Render's free-tier cold start.
Most dashboards are a wall of numbers and charts. Stackyard is the opposite: a calm, launcher-style grid of app tiles, folders, and a small number of genuinely useful widgets, running in a single container. Built to be glanced at a hundred times a day without feeling cluttered.
Documentation: stackyard.sandobserver.com/docs
Why Stackyard
- Attention goes where it's needed, not everywhere at once. A calm grid, no charts or counters. Health badges only appear when something's wrong.
- A glance should tell you more than a number would. Widgets are small visuals, not readouts.
- Anything can be a badge. Point Stackyard at any API, pick a value from the response, and show it as a live activity badge. No custom widget, no code.
- Configured by clicking, not by editing files. Everything is set up in the web UI, with config import and export.
- No dependencies. Review it once and stop worrying about the supply chain.
- Six languages, right-to-left included. Contrast and screen-reader labels are covered by tests.
- Installs like an app. A mobile layout that opens in its own window from a home screen. No offline mode: every tile is live.
Widgets
Widgets and the services they read:
- Clock
- Now Playing: Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Navidrome
- Weather: Open-Meteo (no API key required)
- DNS: AdGuard, Pi-hole, Technitium, NextDNS
- GitHub: contribution graph and pull requests
- Books: Audiobookshelf, Komga, Kavita
- System summary: CPU, memory, disk, throughput, uptime, and network speed from SpeedTest Tracker or MySpeed. Reports on this machine, or on a host running Glances, Beszel or the Unraid API
- Disk health: TrueNAS, Scrutiny
- Backup: Duplicati, Kopia
- Connections: Gluetun, Psiphon Conduit, Netbird, Plausible, Umami
Each widget is documented at Widgets. Adding one is a folder plus one registry entry, with no changes to the rest of the app; see docs/widgets.md.
Getting started
You need Docker.
services:
stackyard:
image: ghcr.io/sandobserver/stackyard:latest
container_name: stackyard
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "8700:80"
volumes:
- ./data:/data
- ./icons:/icons
docker compose up -d
Then open http://localhost:8700 and set everything up at /admin. Config and uploaded icons persist in ./data and ./icons.
On Unraid, install it from Community Apps.
The same image is on Docker Hub as sandobserver/stackyard. Prefer ghcr.io: it is the registry the release signature covers.
The repo's docker-compose.yml is the recommended version: it adds resource limits, dropped capabilities, and commented options for a reverse proxy, host access, and Docker health checks.
Full instructions, including building from source, are at Installation.
Documentation
Security
Stackyard never returns stored secrets to the browser, guards the URLs you test in the admin UI against SSRF and pins the resolved IP, and bounds every upstream call so one slow service cannot hang the dashboard. Some features trade safety for convenience and are opt-in with warnings. Read docs/security.md before exposing Stackyard beyond your LAN.
Accessibility
Stackyard targets WCAG 2.2 level AA and is partially conformant. Every control is named and reachable by keyboard, colours meet the contrast minimum in both themes, and the interface honours the reduced-motion and increased-contrast settings. Known limitations and how this was assessed are in ACCESSIBILITY.md.
Contributing
Contributions are welcome, within the constraints that keep Stackyard small and auditable (one container, no backend dependencies, vanilla frontend). See CONTRIBUTING.md and docs/frontend.md. Participation is covered by the Code of Conduct.
Changelog
Notable changes are listed in CHANGELOG.md; per-release notes are on the GitHub Releases page.
