# Dashboard overview

> Understand the main LStack dashboard surfaces and how work moves through them.

The LStack dashboard is the local control plane for projects, tickets, providers, workers, execution sessions, and project runtimes.

## Main surfaces

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Projects" icon="folder-kanban" href="/projects/overview">
    Manage workspace locations, project instructions, documentation, worker access, and runtimes.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Providers and models" icon="brain-circuit" href="/providers-and-models/overview">
    Configure model endpoints, authentication, capabilities, and concurrency limits.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Workers" icon="bot" href="/workers/overview">
    Create execution units, inspect health, and manage worker lifecycle.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Project runtimes" icon="container" href="/runtimes/overview">
    Build, start, stop, and inspect the software represented by a project.
  </Card>
</Columns>

## Tickets and execution

Tickets represent work within a project. When a ticket becomes runnable, LStack selects an eligible worker based on project access, worker policy, availability, and provider constraints. The ticket detail and execution views expose status, logs, session history, and attention signals.

## Local control plane

The dashboard remains usable when Docker is unavailable. Project configuration, tickets, documentation, and settings continue to work, while worker and container-runtime actions show that Docker is required.
