Thanks for posting a discussion about homepage here on GitHub.

Thanks for using Homepage! ❤️

The Homepage dashboard does not natively support a user authentication system. The project's maintainers have considered adding a simple username/password system but decided against it because user management can become complex and is outside the scope of the project's goals.

However, it is recommended to deploy Homepage behind a reverse proxy that includes authentication, SSL, etc., or behind a VPN to improve security. This way, you can use the reverse proxy to handle user authentication and secure access to the Homepage dashboard.

For more details on discussions regarding authentication and user management, you can refer to the following links from the project's GitHub:

• Issue discussing the possibility of adding a simple username/password system
• Discussion on the feature request for login functionality

If you require different views or access controls for different users, you might need to consider using an external authentication proxy or another method to manage access to the Homepage dashboard.
