Deploy and Host Homer on Railway

Homer is a very simple static dashboard for your server and services, configured with a single YAML file. It is fast, works offline and needs no database.

About Hosting Homer

This template runs the official b4bz/homer:latest image on port 8080 with a persistent volume at /www/assets. On first start Homer writes an example config.yml and icons into the volume, so the dashboard shows an example page right away. Edit config.yml in the volume to add your own services, groups and theme.

Homer has no login: anything on the dashboard page is public. Do not put secrets or private links in config.yml.

Common Use Cases

A start page that links to your self-hosted apps
A public status or links page for a team
A lightweight home for bookmarks grouped by category

Dependencies for Homer Hosting

Why Deploy Homer on Railway?

Railway gives you a public HTTPS URL, a persistent volume and automatic restarts with no server to maintain. Open the URL after the deploy to see the example dashboard.
