Homelable is a self-hosted, open-source tool designed for visually mapping, documenting, and monitoring homelab networks. It provides a visual canvas that allows users to drag, arrange, and document every device in their network, supporting a wide range of node types such as routers, hypervisors, containers, IoT devices, Zigbee and Z-Wave components, and more. The platform is tailored for homelab enthusiasts who want to maintain a comprehensive and live overview of their network topology, with the ability to nest virtual machines and containers inside Proxmox hosts.
A key feature of Homelable is its network discovery and monitoring capabilities. It uses nmap-powered scans to sweep subnets, fingerprint services, and identify unknown devices, which can then be approved and added to the canvas. The tool monitors device status in real time, pushing updates to the user interface via WebSocket, and supports monitoring of services such as HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, and custom ports, with up/down alerts for each host. For wireless mesh networks, Homelable offers one-click imports for Zigbee and Z-Wave topologies, automatically mapping controllers, routers, and end devices with their actual RF links and live status. These integrations work with zigbee2mqtt and Z-Wave JS, providing auto-layout and detailed mesh visualization.
Homelable is delivered as a self-hosted application with multiple installation options: via Docker Compose (frontend, backend, and SQLite), through a community script for LXC on Proxmox, or as a native integration in Home Assistant using HACS, which leverages Home Assistant authentication and does not require Docker. The platform is designed for privacy, operating entirely locally with zero telemetry and ensuring that network topology data never leaves the user's environment. Users can export network diagrams in PNG or SVG formats for documentation purposes and split their homelab into multiple boards for organization by site, rack, or purpose.
The tool is open source under the MIT License and is free to use. It is developed by Remy Jardinet and does not operate as a SaaS, emphasizing local control and privacy for homelab users.
