Organizr: The Ultimate Docker Dashboard for Managing Your Server Services

If you're running multiple services on your home server or VPS , like Sonarr , Radarr , Jellyfin , qBittorrent , or Plex , you know how messy it can get trying to keep track of IP addresses , ports , and bookmarks . What if you could bring all of them into one clean dashboard and access them from a single web page ?

What is Organizr?

That’s where Organizr comes in, a free, open-source, multi-user dashboard built for people who manage multiple server services and want a centralized, beautiful interface to access them all.

In simple words, Organizr is a responsive, customizable dashboard that lets you add tabs for each service you're running. Each tab loads in an iframe , so you can access your services without ever leaving the page .

It supports user authentication , guest access , and even integration with Plex, Emby, LDAP, and sFTP , so you can control who sees what.

Best of all? It's free , open source , and actively maintained by a passionate community.

While the only downside for me that it is written with PHP, It is not hard to install and configure easily using Docker!

Who Is Organizr For?

Organizr is perfect for:

• Home server enthusiasts running multiple apps like Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, and more.
• Developers who manage multiple local or remote services.
• Sysadmins who want a single pane of glass for their tools.
• Tech-savvy users who want to share services securely with friends or family.

Whether you're using Docker , Synology , Unraid , or a Linux VPS , Organizr fits right into your stack.
