A lightweight, visual solution to centralize servers, applications, and network monitoring — all in one place.
Managing a self-hosted environment can quickly become overwhelming when juggling multiple tools, scattered interfaces, and manual scripts. That’s where CoreControl comes in — an open-source project by crocofied that aims to provide a clean, efficient dashboard for full control over your home or lab infrastructure.
The goal is simple: bring all your critical infrastructure data into one clear, unified interface, with built-in uptime monitoring, fast access to services, and network mapping — all designed with ease of use in mind.
🔧 CoreControl features (current)
Even in its early stage, CoreControl already provides several key features:
- 🖥️ Dashboard: A central screen for high-level stats (currently a work in progress)
- 💾 Servers: Add your machines with hardware info and quick links to their admin panels
- 🧩 Applications: Keep track of all your self-hosted apps with built-in uptime monitoring
- 🌐 Network: Automatically generate visual network flowcharts to map your infrastructure
🚀 On the roadmap
Upcoming features currently planned include:
- Editable applications and a search bar
- Customizable dashboard
- Uptime history tracking
- Basic server monitoring
- Notifications system
- Support for advanced network elements (switches, routers, etc.)
- Advanced settings (disable uptime monitoring and more)
⚙️ Easy deployment with Docker
One of CoreControl’s strongest points is its simplicity. All you need to get started is a single docker-compose.yml file. In just a few minutes, you’ll have the web dashboard, monitoring agent, and PostgreSQL database up and running.

🧱 Built with modern tech — and care
CoreControl uses a modern tech stack with a focus on performance, simplicity, and beautiful UI:
- Next.js + TypeScript for the frontend
- Go for the backend monitoring agent
- Tailwind CSS + shadcn for styling
- PostgreSQL + Prisma ORM for data handling
- React Flow for network diagrams
- Lucide Icons for a clean, modern interface
Licensed under MIT, the project is fully open source and hosted on GitHub:
