Update 18 October 2025: I have made the repository private for the timebeing, because I am making very big changes to the app. Once I have something worthy of release, I will update this again. Changes already made:

  • Moved entire database to SQLite3 instead of the bloat of MySQL
  • Servers and Links can be added, moved, deleted from the home page by clicking the edit button
  • Server stats are revamped and more accurate
  • Weather has been revamped and is now based on the user’s browser’s location (no longer stored in the db)
  • The CodeIgniter framework has been upgraded quite a few iterations, but still needs work to be up to date with the latest

Today I am pleased to be releasing a dashboard I have been working on (and using) lately. I am releasing the project as Open-Source and under the GPL-3.0 License. The dashboard is loosely based on SUI, but built from the bottom up using CodeIgniter 4 and Bootstrap for the CSS. It’s probably a bit overkill with the MySQL database, but it can be moved to SQLite3. The dashboard is useful for Self-hosters that want a start-page for quick access to Links they visit often for maintenance or for whatever reason.

Most dashboards I have seen usually involve editing a JSON with the data it will display, and I wanted something I could edit directly on the web (a simple CRUD)
