Background
In this project I started building a self-hosted homelab control panel designedto manage and monitor a local machine or server from a single web interface.
The main idea is to combine multiple homelab tools into one simple dashboardthat runs locally and is easy to extend.

What I’ve worked on so far:
Set up the base FastAPI backend
Structured the project into separate modules for monitoring, Dockermanagement, file handling, and database toolsBuilt a basic web dashboard using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Planned integration of system metrics using psutilDesigned the structure for Docker container control and file accessThe panel is meant to act like a lightweight homelab management system whereyou can:

• monitor system performancemanage
• Docker container
• shandle files on the server
  run simple database queries

The main challenge was designing a structure that stays modular but still simple enough to build within a limited timeframe. I also had to thinkcarefully about how system-level features should be exposed safely through a web interface.
Another useful aspect is that this mission came at a good time, since I wasalready planning to build something in this direction, so I was able to alignmy work with it.
