OpenSourceSociety Self Hosted Test made with Dashy
What’s the best way to let people try self-hosted apps without making anyone install them?
The answer I found is Dashy: a customizable homepage where you can add links, buttons, notes—whatever you want. I used it to create a showcase page for a collection of self-hosted services and projects, plus other open-source projects, split by category, with buttons to access the demos, my contacts, and the video guides.

To access the various demos: click on the image of the service you’re interested in and use demo as the username and demo as the password. Where it doesn’t work, the specific password is shown on the page.
If a project sparks your interest and you’d like to talk about it, write to me—I’m available to figure out how to adapt it to your needs.
or fill out the contact form.
Dashy as mentioned is a customizable Homepage, we can add besides the link a description of the site and check whether it is online or not, we can also add explanatory icon images of the site or of our projects.
If anyone is only interested in the Dashy project, here is the link to the official website:
