Introduction

There are quite a few open source dashboard apps and many of them seem to have more bells and whistles than Heimdall. It is certainly not the most popular dashboard if Youtube is anything to go by, but it is certainly the one that I have stuck with and suits my needs.

It was easy to work with right out of the box. The app was up and running without a hitch. It looks very clean. You can change the background as you wish and customise verymany other settings. It was easy to stick a login page on it and links to the apps and sites I want. I even use it as the home page on my current browser.

IThe canwebsite login to it onfor the laptop, tablet and mobile phone, to add or locate whatever.

The GithubHeimdall project that I based my container on can be found with the link below:

IOn usemy itHeimdall to get organised.dashboard, I have cupboardsbuttons fulllinked ofto plasticnearly boxesall the websites and drawers.apps AI lotmostly ofuse. stuffFor justsome getsreason thrownI inhave all the drawersbuttons sorted alphabetically. I did mess around with tags and ifextra I ever need something specific, it used to take me an age to find it.

Now, having listed most things in most drawers and boxes, if I ever want to find something quickly, I open Homebox, hit the Search button and find its location in a jiffy.

I obviously don't get too carried away. I don't, for example itemise every HDMI cable, although I could if I wanted. I just add 'bag of HDMI cables'. As long as I keep all my HDMI cables in the same bag, in the same location, it works perfectly.

I can even have a photo of all my items. I found that is not really necessary,dashboards, but I dowent addback photos usingto the phone,plain ifone and only dashboard with all its default settings.

There isn't much more to say about it, after all it is only a dashboard, so below I thinkhave it'sadded necessarya andscreenshot Iof canpart be bothered.

I do list allof my DVDs and CDs, just because I can and I can't bring myself to throw or give them away. There are probably better Docker Apps to do that, that will bring metadata as well, but I already have the list, if I want to use one of those. I don't ever have to open their respective boxes again. I just know they are there.own:
