A home-lab dashboard is a must for vibe coders who love tinkering with tech. It centralizes control, letting you monitor servers, containers, and services from one sleek interface. Tools like Grafana or Heimdall offer real-time insights into CPU, memory, and network usage, helping you spot issues fast and keep your setup optimized. Plus, you can customize the look to match your aesthetic think retro terminal or dark-mode vibes.
