Home Lab

Appearance

App & data ​

Open Settings → App & data for install, backup and data-management actions.

Progressive Web App ​

Install Home Lab to your device. The button shows Install, Installed, or a hint to use the browser menu depending on support. See Install as an app (PWA).

Back up & restore ​

  • Download backup - exports everything (pages, services, widgets, credentials/secrets, favourites and settings) to a homelab-backup-YYYY-MM-DD.json file.
  • Restore from backup - upload a backup file. After a confirmation it replaces all current data and reloads.

Backups contain secrets

A backup file includes your API keys, tokens and passwords in plaintext - that's required for a full restore. Keep the file somewhere safe and don't commit it to git.

Automatic backups ​

The server writes a backup daily and keeps the last 7. They're listed here with a date and size; each has:

  • ⤓ Download - grab that day's backup as a file
  • ↻ Restore - roll back to that day (with a confirm, then reload)

See Backups for retention and storage details.

Import from Homepage ​

Bring an existing Homepage config across - services, settings, widgets, bookmarks, Docker and Proxmox. See Import from Homepage.

Reset layout ​

Wipes all data and starts fresh. This is destructive and asks for confirmation first.
