Introduction

Quick Start Guide

Get your CasaBoard dashboard up and running in under 10 minutes. Follow these three steps to go from zero to a working smart home dashboard — no account, no sign-up.

1

Run CasaBoard with Docker

Clone the repository, run docker compose up -d, and open the app on the port it exposes (default 3000).

2

Connect Home Assistant

On first run you're taken straight to the connection screen — enter your Home Assistant URL and authorise once.

3

Create your first page

Go to Pages and click 'New Page'. Give it a name like 'Living Room' and open the drag-and-drop editor to start building.

Free and self-hosted

There's no account, no subscription, and no data leaving your server. CasaBoard runs entirely on infrastructure you control.

What you'll need

  • A running Home Assistant instance (local or remote)
  • Your HA instance URL (e.g. https://ha.yourname.com)
  • Docker and Docker Compose installed on the machine that will run CasaBoard
