Inspiration

We wanted a lightweight home server to organize all of our other IoT and web servers into one central client while also using smartcar's API

What it does

It organizes your Docker containers and web servers in one interface that will also allow direct interaction within web interfaces and manage Docker containers

How we built it

Using a python to make a flask web server along with a Docker library to manage containers. For the smartcar integration we also used flask to create webhooks

Challenges we ran into

Connecting multiple Docker containers and web servers to one interface along with giving the ability to add more as needed. Also having to deal with cross-origin sites within an iframe.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We have the MVP version ready

What we learned

That being able to show other web services in one central location is harder than it sounds

What's next for ALHS

To create a more dynamic version of running the Docker containers from within the web interface to give users more flexibility with their projects
