Homelab notes from building AMUD Dashboard — Rust, Proxmox, zero YAML, and way too much SQLite. Written by Youssef Boubli.
One curl on your Proxmox host provisions an LXC, installs the agent on the hypervisor, and gives you a working dashboard on port 8000.

AMUD Dashboard started because my bookmark portal was eating 150MB of RAM and I was tired of YAML. Here's what I built instead.
Read article →My homelab had the usual problem: twenty services, zero good way to open them.
I tried the usual suspects. Heimdall looked nice until I checked htop and saw PHP-FPM doing absolutely nothing useful while holding ~150MB. Homepage was closer to what I wanted — live widgets, clean UI — but I spent an entire Sunday debugging a YAML indent before I admitted I hate editing config files on disk for something as dumb as "add Jellyfin link."
So I did what any reasonable person with too much free time does: I wrote another dashboard.
