homepage
A highly customizable homepage (or startpage / application dashboard) with Docker and service API integrations.
Project mention: Adventures in Homelabbing: From Cloud Obsession to Self-Hosted Shenanigans | dev.to | 2025-04-09I began to self-host a Minecraft server using Crafty Controller, an Excalidraw instance, Docmost to replace Notion, Plane to replace Jira, and Penpot to replace Figma. To be able to access them from the internet, I used Nginx Proxy Manager to set up reverse proxies with SSL. You can use Traefik or Caddy instead, but I enjoyed the ease-of-use of NPM. For a dashboard solution, I started with Homarr, but later switched to Homepage because I'm apparently incapable of making a decision and sticking with it.

There is server creation in the sense that you can host the whole backend on your own domain: <https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted/blob/master/compos...>.
Not sure if their own hosted offering has a "click to spin up new server" button. Probably not.
