Dashboard - but for users (lemmy.world)

I host some services and now start to slowly let family and friends use some of those services. for myself i have a dashboard (Heimdall, just because it worked nicely first try and I didn't bother looking at others) and I want to also have one for other users. Now I imagine something like that:

  • User authenticates in authelia, which passes username in the header to the dashboard.
  • in the dashboard, the user gets presented with a, yeah, dashboard, with all the services he/she has access to. no login necessary. -no resources are shown to a user, that this user has no access to.

any ideas which dashboard could be utilized to do something like that, without hosting multiple instances or preconfiguring all dashboards for all users?

Might not work for you, but I just made a separate heimdall container with only the apps I wanted them to have access to.

And how do you disable the editing/configuration in Heimdall?

Personally I lobotomize the users. /S

...hadn't thought of that! But my family aren't that savvy.

Wow I hadn't even thought of custom dashboards for each user. I use Homepage for my internal dashboard, and Homarr for users. It's got a nice, simple interface with big buttons

Would be nice if each user could add their own bookmarks so they could use the dashboard as new tab default.

The Authentik dashboard does this. It's light on customization but I understand it has custom CSS support.

[–] momsi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I had authentik before but I found it to be unnecessarily complicated. Its really a nice one stop shop, doing authentication, authorization, even reverse proxing, but the setup/UI is just ... Not very well designed. Or it's so advanced that it's very far from the no it background hobbyist user

Fenrus can be setup with different user dashboards and even a guest (no login) dashboard. Not sure about Authelia support though

Edit for link to project: https://github.com/revenz/Fenrus

I tried fenrus before, kinda liked it, but I remember it to be not so performant.
