# About
A nice looking homepage for Docker containers or any services and links.
No actual integration with Docker. Loads instantly. Dark mode follows your OS.
If you make a change to the config JSON, restart this container and refresh.
Inspired by [Ben Phelps' Homepage](https://gethomepage.dev/) and [Umbrel](https://umbrel.com/). Dedicated to [Star Trek: Lower Decks](https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/star-trek-lower-decks/).
