Homelab Control Panel (Work in progress)
In this project I started building a self-hosted homelab control panel designed to manage and monitor a local machine or server from a single web interface.
The main idea is to combine multiple homelab tools into one simple dashboard that runs locally and is easy to extend.
What I’ve worked on so far:

Set up the base FastAPI backend

Structured the project into separate modules for monitoring, Docker management, file handling, and database tools

Built a basic web dashboard using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Planned integration of system metrics using psutil

Designed the structure for Docker container control and file access

Main idea:
The panel is meant to act like a lightweight homelab management system where you can:

monitor system performance

manage Docker containers

handle files on the server

run simple database queries

Challenges so far:
The main challenge was designing a structure that stays modular but still simple enough to build within a limited timeframe. I also had to think carefully about how system-level features should be exposed safely through a web interface.
Another useful aspect is that this mission came at a good time, since I was already planning to build something in this direction, so I was able to align my work with it.
