I’m new to self-hosting, and I’ve stumbled upon Homer which seems like a good tool. However, it’s real tedius to go through editing the config file VIM based constantly.

So I’m just wondering if there exists any GUI based editors or generators out there, that allows me to specify the number of service groups and what service items that are in the group, and then get that exported as a .yml file.

If there is no tool out there, I’m considering just creating my own. But before sinking in those hours, I thought I might as well quickly ask in here and see if such a tool already exists?

    I am not aware of any “generators” like that, but some personal dashboards can be configured through the UI instead of config files.

    You better get used to it since selfhosting many projects involves that. And maybe try to use nano instead of vim as editor.

    Using a “OS” like /r/CosmosServer or CasaOS for managing your services can also be useful for a beginner.
