Tired of managing a mess of bookmarks and browser tabs for your self-hosted services? Dashy solves this with a single, self-hosted dashboard that puts everything in one place. And because it runs on Kamatera, it’s exceptionally speedy and available to your whole team from anywhere.
By combining the ultimate open-source dashboard with Kamatera’s enterprise-grade VPS, you get a 24/7 accessible command center that is fully under your control. Deploy Dashy on Kamatera’s high-performance cloud to create a unified, secure, and lightning-fast entry point for your entire digital ecosystem.
What you can do with Dashy
Surface links to your CI/CD pipelines, monitoring tools, cloud consoles, repos, and deployment dashboards in one place, all contained within your Kamatera network, alongside your infrastructure.- Give your clients a branded dashboard linking to their project tools, reporting interfaces, and communication channels. Deploy a separate Dashy instance per client where you control the branding, the access, and the data.
- Aggregate your own digital life, including work tools, personal projects, news feeds, weather, calendar widgets, into a single page that opens exactly the way you want it. A Kamatera VPS gives you a permanent, always-on home for it.
- Add notes, documentation references, and quick-access widgets so your dashboard becomes a lightweight knowledge base as well as a navigation tool, with no third-party login required, since it lives inside your own infrastructure.

Yes. Dashy is lightweight enough to share a server with other applications. Many users run it alongside services like UpTime-Kuma, Portainer, or NGINX on the same VM. Just make sure the server has enough resources for everything you’re running, and use a reverse proxy like Caddy to manage routing between services.
Yes, and for most use cases this is the right approach. The simplest method is to restrict access by IP at the firewall level. Kamatera’s firewall tools let you limit inbound traffic to specific addresses. Alternatively, you can put Dashy behind a VPN so it’s only reachable from devices on your private network. Dashy also has built-in authentication options if you want password protection at the application level.
Yes. Dashy can display uptime status for any URL or service, making it easy to see at a glance which of your Kamatera-hosted applications are running. You can also link directly to monitoring tools like Grafana or UpTime-Kuma from your dashboard, or embed their data via widgets if they expose an API.
Ubuntu LTS is the most common choice and has the broadest community support for Docker-based deployments. Debian is another solid option. Either works well for hosting Dashy.
