Running Heimdall Dashboard on the Raspberry Pi
Heimdall is a software aimed at being a dashboard for all your web applications and is a perfect solution for your browser’s start page.
This web dashboard allows you to easily create what is essentially a bookmark for all your web applications. Saving you from forgetting or losing them within your browser. It even allows you to set up a search bar to search straight from the dashboard easily.
Heimdall even has built-in name recognition for a huge range of web apps. Meaning you will see icons and other fields populated automatically. For some applications, it will even show you additional information.
The Raspberry Pi is a perfect candidate for Heimdall as it is low-powered and is the perfect device to run many different web apps. Some examples of web apps you might use are PiHole, Plex, and PhotoPrism.
While you can install Heimdall by cloning the repository and setting up Apache/Nginx and PHP. We will instead by using Docker. Docker is one of the cleanest ways of running Heimdall. As all required software is set up correctly within the container.
This project is also great for those who are running a headless Raspberry Pi as it doesn’t require the desktop interface.
