Heimdall on Proxmox: One Dashboard for All Services

Managing multiple services on a Proxmox server can be a challenge, especially when it comes to remembering all the Web UIs. Luckily, I found an effective solution by implementing Heimdall, an application that centralizes all the WebUIs in one convenient dashboard.

What is Heimdall and Why is it Useful?
Heimdall is a web-based dashboard designed to simplify access and management of web UI services and applications. Its utility lies in its ability to provide a central point to access all WebUIs of services installed on the Proxmox server. In short, Heimdall simplifies navigation between different web applications, making management and access more efficient.

Practical Implementation on Proxmox

  1. Creating an Ubuntu Container:
    • Initially, I created an Ubuntu container on Proxmox, providing the environment in which Heimdall will run.
  2. Installing Docker and Docker-Compose:
    • Next, I installed Docker and Docker-Compose in the Ubuntu container to make it easier to run Heimdall in a container environment.
  3. Heimdall Configuration:
    • Setting up Heimdall was simple, requiring a list of services and their WebUIs to be integrated into the dashboard.
  4. Access to the Unified Dashboard:
    • Once configured, Heimdall provided a unified dashboard accessible from a single point, listing all installed services with their respective web user interfaces.

Advantages of Heimdall over Proxmox
The implementation of Heimdall has introduced several advantages to managing services on Proxmox:

  • Centralization: All WebUIs are accessible from a single dashboard, making navigation easy.
  • Efficiency: Save time in managing and accessing various services.
  • Order: An organized and neat overview of installed services.

Conclusion
Heimdall has proven to be a valuable ally in simplifying the management of web UI services on Proxmox. Its ability to centralize WebUIs into an intuitive dashboard has significantly improved efficiency and order in day-to-day server management.
