Local Server

This application is intended to work with services hosted on a local server, such as:

• Portainer
• Cockpit
• Pi-hole
• CUPS
• Open WebUI
• Grafana
• Other web-based server applications

The dashboard does not host these services itself. It provides a central interface for accessing them.

Security

This application is intended primarily for trusted local networks.

Only add services and URLs that you trust.

If a local HTTPS service uses a self-signed certificate, the application may allow the certificate for the configured service so that the WebView can access it.

Do not expose the dashboard or its services directly to the public Internet without appropriate security measures.

Still Under-Development Project

Development

The project is developed using:

• Visual Basic .NET
• Windows Forms
• Microsoft WebView2
• HTML / CSS for the local dashboard page
