Glance

I would like to replace the homarr server dashboard that I setup a year ago. It has great integrations for the arr suite but it is a pain in the ass to organize. I have to search a nice, fast, and extensible server dashboard to serve has a good entry point for new users.

After some research I came across Glance which offers a very clean UI, customisable through a simple .yaml file. It has an extensive theme library, but, unlike homarr, it offers next to no arr integration. Could be the opportunity to make some PR on the Github.

Here is the look of the new dashboard !

After a while, I felt the need to change dashboard due to the lack of *arr stack integration. Since I still wanted something declarative, I did not have many options. Luckily, I discovered homepage-dashboard It has many integrations for multiple services like Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and all the *arr suite. It also has a NixOS Module. That makes it a perfect choice for my setup. Here is an overview of the setup dashboard:

NOTE: Ignore the error on the nextcloud block. This is due to a misconfiguration on my side.
