Every website you need, on one wall.
ShortcutWall is a self-hosted page of website shortcuts with their logos, and a simple admin area to manage them. One Docker image, ready in a minute.
Features
Everything a start page needs, nothing it doesn't
No database, no account to create for visitors: a JSON file, your logos, and a fast page.
Instant search & sort
Press / to search names, descriptions and domains; sort A–Z or by most recent.
Automatic logos
Finds the best icon a site offers, SVG included, and stores it in the app at 256 px. No broken images, no hotlinking.
Internal sites too
Your router, NAS or Proxmox on the local network or a VPN, self-signed certificates included.
Admin in dialogs
Add, edit and delete without leaving the list. A deletion can be undone for 15 s.
Export / import
One JSON file with every shortcut and its logos, to back up or move an install.
Light, dark, mobile
Follows the system theme, in French or English, on any screen size.
Secure by default
CSRF tokens, strict CSP, login rate limiting, SSRF guard, non-root image. No default password.
Administration
Add a site in a few seconds
Type the address, click “Fetch favicon”, done. Everything happens in a dialog, without losing your place.
- The best icon of the site, SVG included, checked and resized
- Or upload your own image, PNG, JPEG or WebP
- Errors show in the dialog, your input is kept
Local network
Your home lab has its place
Private addresses (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, Tailscale…) are allowed. Internal sites with a self-signed certificate are accepted, public sites are always verified.
- The app's own host and cloud metadata stay blocked
- ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORKS=false to lock it down

- Logos keep a light tile in dark mode, so they stay readable
