Terminal Zero - Because Homelabs Should Look Cool Too

Hey y'all! This is my take on making homelab dashboards look like old-school terminals. If you're into retro computing aesthetic (like I am), grab the theme set I made for Dashy and Uptime Kuma.

What's Inside

Dashy Dashboard Theme

I started with Dashy's default look and gave it that classic terminal feel - complete with a CRT scan effect (some of this works...I'm not a web dev). It's got everything organized into clean sections for infra, monitoring, dev stuff, etc.

Uptime Kuma Status Page

Made a matching terminal theme for Uptime Kuma status pages. Keeps things compact and clean with some nice glowing status indicators. Pretty much everything you need at a glance. Works great on mobile too!

Getting Started

Setting Up Dashy

1. Grab the dashy_conf.yml from the repo
2. Drop it in your Dashy config folder
3. Add your own services and URLs
4. Restart Dashy and you're good to go

Setting Up Uptime Kuma

1. Copy the CSS from uptimekuma-retro-compact-theme.css
2. Head to Settings → Status Page in Uptime Kuma
3. Paste it into Custom CSS
4. Hit save and enjoy!

Make It Your Own

Want to tweak the colors or layout? Everything's controlled by CSS variables, so it's pretty easy to customize:

:root {
  --terminal-green: #33ff00;  // Change this for different terminal colors
  --terminal-bg: #0a0a0a;     // Background darkness level
  // ... more variables available in the CSS files
}
