By now, there are so many containers, who can remember all those funky names/urls/ports.
The solution is, obviously, to add even more containers!

Launchers

A web page where you add tiles for all your docker containers and open them with a single click. The basic launchers (ex: Minimux) are not much more than a pretty bookmarks site for your containers (or anything else really). The more advanced ones (ex: Organizr) aggregate information from the other containers so that for some common functionality you don’t even have to leave your launcher at all.

TL&DR

You probably want to pick one of these:

• Homepage: Highly customizable and configured entirely in YAML (config-as-code)
• Homarr: Simple bookmarks with deeper integrations: a built-in calendar, healthchecks etc
• Organizr: If you want the ultimate dashboard and are willing to spend time on it
• Heimdall: Simple bookmarks with some small integrations

They know all your favourite containers and are pre-configured with icons/ports for easy setup.
Integrations are something like showing coming-up shows/movies, the current download speed, active downloads and more.

Homepage

gethomepage/homepage : A highly customizable dashboard, configured entirely in YAML

Homepage: my personal favourite. It’s ridiculously customizable and, for me, its killer feature, configured entirely in YAML, so your whole dashboard is config-as-code you can version alongside the rest of your stack. It ships native widgets for loads of *arr services.

I run this for my own homelab and love it.

Example Homepage Dashboard

Homarr

homarr-labs/homarr : Customizable home page to interact with your Docker containers (e.g. Sonarr/Radarr)

Homarr: One of the new *Arr kids on the block, with mobile support.
Initial setup felt like work but if you enter the name of a known container (ex: Jellyfin, qBittorrent, …) it will auto-fill in the details like Heimdall does.

Some notable features why you may want to go with Homarr instead of Heimdall:

• Calendar: Show coming up shows/movies in a calendar widget
• Docker: Start/Stop containers, Pin a running container to the dashboard
• Customizations: Light/Dark themes, background image, dashboard icon size, or just inject custom CSS

Organizr

causefx/Organizr : HTPC/Homelab Services Organizer

Even more feature rich, Organizr gives you unified dashboard(s) for all your containers. Very good integration with Plex.

• Smooth UI, many customization options
• Deep integration
  • Sonarr/Radarr calendars
  • Ombi requests
  • Media Server activity
  • Monitor healthchecks
  • …

Disclaimer:
I spent some time trying to get this to work and got a few things setup but eventually gave up. You can create that one complete dashboard, but it’s gonna take some time setting it up!

Heimdall

linuxserver/Heimdall : An Application dashboard and launcher

The one I went with. Definitely more feature rich compared to Muximux:

• Multiple users, authentication and multiple dashboards (called “Tags”)
• Shows the project logo of all containers mentioned in this post
• Has API integration to show some dynamic data on the tiles for some containers (called “Enhanced apps”)
  • Ombi: How many pending requests
  • Transmission: Current Upload/Download speeds
  • Sonarr/Radarr: Missing / Download Queue counts
• Drag & Drop UI, set your own background, optional Google search field
• Open apps in the same or in a new tab

Heimdall

Disclaimer:
While it works pretty well overall, editing an existing tile can be challenging at times. It’s also on the slow side and development has gone quiet (last release was ~8 months ago). Still, it works and everything Pirateflix still runs on Heimdall in my setup.

Muximux

mescon/Muximux : A lightweight way to manage your HTPC

The simplest, most lightweight launcher. Has a small header with your most used apps and launches them in an iframe. Pretty slick, works well, the settings UI is perhaps a bit lacking.

Muximux

Prismarr

Shoshuo/Prismarr : A unified dashboard/frontend for Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, Jellyseerr, qBittorrent and TMDb.

The new kid: rather than a generic launcher, Prismarr is an *arr-focused unified frontend that stitches Radarr/Sonarr/Prowlarr/Jellyseerr/qBittorrent into one interface. Ships as a single container. Small and young (a spare-time, single-developer project), so weigh that against the established options above before committing.

Docker Infrastructure

This section is a work in progress 😃 But you definitely want:

portainer/portainer : Portainer to manage all those docker containers…

containrrr/watchtower : Automatically update your containers to the latest versions
