My homelab needed a lightweight dashboard, so I had Claude and a local LLM race to build it
Server dashboards are rarely one-size-fits-all. Requirements, styling, and use cases vary widely from user to user. They are either lightweight but limited, or feature-packed but heavier than the containers they monitor. In my case, I run my homelab server on a repurposed desktop, and I'm already running more than 17 Docker containers across seven services. In other words, the server was already near its limits, so a heavy, feature-packed dashboard wasn't a viable option in my case.
