Open WebUI provides a self-hosted interface for Ollama, local models, and OpenAI-compatible APIs, with built-in retrieval, user and group permissions, and an extensible plugin system. It can connect tools through MCP or OpenAPI and deploy through pip, Docker, or Kubernetes. Docker users need to mount the persistent data volume, or the application database can be lost when the container is removed.

Glance creates a self-hosted start page that brings RSS feeds, calendars, streaming channels, and other widgets into one streamlined dashboard. Pages, columns, themes, and widget settings are defined in YAML, making the layout easy to keep in version control. It can run as a small standalone binary or through Docker, which suits personal start pages and homelab dashboards.

changedetection.io watches web pages, PDFs, and JSON endpoints for meaningful changes such as price drops, restocks, or new text, then sends alerts through email, Discord, Slack, Telegram, webhooks, and many other services. Visual selectors and browser steps help target dynamic or logged-in pages. Optional AI rules can suppress irrelevant diffs and summarize changes, but monitored content is sent to the model provider you configure.

Homepage is a customizable start page for homelabs and self-hosted services. It combines application links, bookmarks, search, weather, system information, Docker container status, and service-specific widgets in one dashboard, configured through YAML or automatic Docker label discovery. Backend API requests are proxied to keep credentials away from the browser. When the dashboard is reachable from an untrusted network, it must be protected by an authenticated TLS reverse proxy or VPN with strict host validation.
