Your start page, self-hosted

Glance on your own VPS.

Open one browser tab and see everything you check each morning: new posts from your RSS feeds, subreddits and YouTube channels, the weather, markets, GitHub releases and whether your services are up. Glance is a lightweight, open-source dashboard configured in YAML. On your own VPS it stays online around the clock and you can reach it from your phone or laptop. Coolify deploys it in one click, so you don't have to write Docker Compose by hand.

With full root access, the dashboard is only the start. Run changedetection.io, an uptime monitor or an RSS reader next to Glance in Coolify and pull their status straight into widgets. Edit glance.yml over SSH or in Coolify, serve the page on your own domain with HTTPS and lock it with Glance's built-in login. Your feeds, your config and your server stay under your control, with no third-party cloud account involved.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Glance

Answers to the most important questions before you start.

Glance is a lightweight, open-source self-hosted dashboard that puts RSS feeds, subreddits, YouTube channels, weather, markets and service status on one start page. On a VPS it runs around the clock, independent of your home PC or homelab, and you can reach it from any device.

Yes. Glance is free, open-source software under the AGPL-3.0 license, with no paid tier or license key. You only pay for the VPS it runs on, and that same server can host other apps as well.

Order a VPS, open the One-Click Apps area in your panel and deploy Glance through the Coolify marketplace in one click. Coolify pulls the official image and starts the container, so you don't have to write Docker Compose by hand. Read the One-Click Apps guide

  • Pick a VPS package in the shop
  • Deploy Glance from the Coolify marketplace
  • Adjust widgets and feeds in glance.yml

Glance itself needs very little: it's a single small binary with low memory use. Which VPS package fits depends mostly on what else runs next to it, such as Coolify's own services, monitoring or an RSS reader. If you plan to run several apps, start with more RAM and CPU.

Yes. Point an A record for your domain or subdomain to the VPS IP address, then add the domain to your Glance app in Coolify. Coolify routes traffic through its built-in proxy and can issue a Let's Encrypt certificate, so your dashboard loads over HTTPS.

Yes. Every VPS comes with full root access over SSH. You can edit glance.yml directly, check container logs, install extra tools or set up firewall rules exactly the way you want. How to connect via SSH

Yes. Coolify manages several apps and databases on the same VPS. Many people run an uptime monitor, changedetection.io or an RSS reader next to Glance and show their status right on the dashboard through widgets. Learn more about Coolify

Every VPS gets an automatic daily Backup from the platform at no extra cost, so your glance.yml is covered along with the rest of the server. With the ZapX Pass you can see and restore these daily Backups, create manual Backups and snapshots, and keep daily Backups longer depending on your Pass tier.

You can choose from our locations in Europe and America when you order. Pick the one closest to you and the people who use your dashboard. Many users in North America start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. Feeds and widgets work the same at every location.

Yes. If you add more apps or widgets over time, you can move to a larger VPS package from your panel to get more RAM, CPU and storage for your setup.
