gethomepage/homepage: README-based editorial guide

gethomepage/homepage describes itself in the README as "A highly customizable homepage (or startpage / application dashboard) with Docker and service API integrations.". This article keeps to facts that can be checked in the repository. Stars, forks, and promotional badges are signals of attention, not proof of quality. Under "README", the README says: A modern, fully static, fast , secure fully proxied , highly customizable application dashboard with integrations for over 100 services and translations into multiple languages.. That establishes the project's stated boundary, not a production test.

The README's "Features" section gives a useful starting point for deciding whether the project fits: Secure - All API requests to backend services are proxied, keeping your API keys hidden. Constantly reviewed for security by the community.. If that problem is not yours, popularity is a poor reason to adopt it. Project names, commands, and component names are kept as written so a reader can return to the primary source without guessing at terminology. Another checkable README item is: Fast - The site is statically generated at build time for instant load times.. It can shape a first test, but it does not replace testing in the intended environment.

The operating model is spread across sections such as "Docker Integration". The source evidence includes: Homepage has built-in support for Docker, and can automatically discover and add services to the homepage based on labels. See the Docker Service Discovery page for more information.. This article does not turn missing architecture, performance, or security details into claims. A real deployment still needs a look at the repository layout, configuration files, and release history.

Start installation from the README's documented entry point. A command that can be checked in the source is: services: homepage: image: ghcr.io/gethomepage/homepage:latest container_name: homepage environment: HOMEPAGE_ALLOWED_HOSTS: gethomepage.dev # required, may need port. See gethomepage.dev/installation/#homepage_allowed_hosts PUID: 1000 # optional, your user id PGID: 1000 # optional, your group id ports: - 3000:3000 volumes: - /path/to/config:/app/config # Make sure your local config directory exists - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker. When the README contains no runnable command, this article does not invent one. Open its "Docker Integration" section and confirm system dependencies, default ports, and first-run initialization before using a public server.
