Flame: Self-hosted start page for servers with support
Flame is a self-hosted dashboard tool. Self-hosted start page for servers with support for applications and bookmarks.
Why self-host Flame
When you deploy Flame yourself, you own the instance. That means no rate limits, no pricing changes, and no worry about the service shutting down.
What it does
Flame falls into the Dashboard category of self-hosted software. It is designed to be deployed on your own infrastructure, whether that is a home server, a VPS, or a local machine running Docker.
Community traction
The project has 5k stars on GitHub, which is a reasonable proxy for how widely it is used. Active repositories tend to ship bug fixes faster and have better documentation than projects that stall after the initial release.
Deployment
Docker is the most common deployment path. If you are already running containers at home, adding Flame to a compose file is a low-friction way to try it.
Maturity
The current release is 2.3.1. The project has moved past early development and tends to ship stable, documented releases.
License
It is licensed under MIT, making it freely available for personal and commercial use.
Links
For anyone already running a home server, Flame is a natural addition. It handles dashboard without requiring a paid subscription or an account with a third party.
