A focused control plane for Nowhere Portal infrastructure.
Manage multiple OpenCtrl endpoints, operate Portal instances, inspect live telemetry, and publish private subscriptions from one dashboard.
Product Tour · Quick Start · Documentation · Development
English · 简体中文
NowhereDash ships as a single Go binary with an embedded React frontend. It uses Gin, GORM, and SQLite or PostgreSQL on the backend, with Vite, TypeScript, and HeroUI in the web application. Runtime state is delivered through SSE and WebSocket.
Important
NowhereDash manages Nowhere Portal instances only. Legacy client/server modes, service assembly, and compatibility fields from earlier dashboard formats are intentionally unsupported.
| Area | Highlights |
|---|---|
| Portals | Manage Portal instances across multiple OpenCtrl endpoints. |
| Observability | Monitor traffic, connections, latency, status, and logs in real time. |
| Subscriptions | Publish protected feeds with QR codes and mobile import links. |
| Security | Guided setup, OAuth2 login, TLS, and token rotation. |
| Deployment | Run with Docker, systemd, or a standalone binary on SQLite/PostgreSQL. |

Run the latest container:
mkdir -p db logs
docker run -d \
--name nowheredash \
--restart unless-stopped \
-p 4000:4000 \
-v "$(pwd)/db:/app/db" \
-v "$(pwd)/logs:/app/logs" \
ghcr.io/nodepassproject/nowheredash:latestOpen http://localhost:4000.
Tip
On first start, the Setup wizard lets you choose SQLite or PostgreSQL, accept the compliance notice, and create the first administrator. It writes the resulting configuration to .env; restart the service afterward if your process manager does not do so automatically.
