Dashboard is the web-based user interface of [Umbrel OS](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-os) and is accessible at `http://umbrel.local`. It runs by-default as a containerized service.
If you are looking to run Umbrel on your hardware, you do not need to run this service on it's own. Just download [Umbrel OS](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-os/releases) and you're good to go.
Make sure both [`umbrel-manager`](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-manager) and [`umbrel-middleware`](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-middleware) are running and available.
If you want to change the local development environment (e.g. to use you local umbrel instance), create the `.env.development` with the following content:
> Umbrel is still in an early stage and things are expected to break every now and then. We **DO NOT** recommend running it on the mainnet with real money just yet, unless you want to be really *#reckless*.
