# Usage
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
Requires the `bs4` python package.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
To install StartTree for the first time, run the following commands:
|
|
(Note: If the `~/.config/StartTree` directory already exists, `init.sh` will not copy the example config to prevent accidentally overwriting a custom config. )
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Paul-Houser/StartTree.git
|
|
cd StartTree
|
|
chmod +x init.sh
|
|
chmod +x generate.py
|
|
./init.sh
|
|
./generate.py
|
|
```
|
|
This will create the directory `~/.config/StartTree` containing the default `config.yaml`, install `starttree.py` to your `$PATH`, as well as generate the html/css, which you can view by pointing your browser at `$HOME/.cache/StartTree/index.html`.
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
The config should be placed in `~/.config/StartTree/config.yaml`
|
|
|
|
## Updating the HTML
|
|
To re-generate the html/css after editing the config, execute `starttree.py` from any directory.
|
|
|
|
# Example Config
|
|
```yaml
|
|
font_size: 22 # specify font size
|
|
theme: void # specify the name of a theme in the themes/ directory, or use 'pywal'
|
|
tree_1: # each column should be named 'tree_X' where X is unique for each tree.
|
|
general: # Header name
|
|
github: "https://www.github.com/" # Link-text: url
|
|
gmail: "https://mail.google.com/"
|
|
reddit:
|
|
# the following is an example of naming a link something with a space,
|
|
# or containing characters that cannot be in a yaml variable name.

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Themes
|
|
|
|
A variety of themes can be found in the `themes` directory.
|
|
|
|
If one wishes to dynamically theme from `pywal`, they may select `pywal` as their chosen theme in `config.yaml`.
|
|
|
|
# Docker
|
|
|
|
In order to circumvent some restrictions on browsers for what is allowed as a "Home" and "New Tab" page, you can host StartTree as a lightweight `NGINX` server through `docker-compose`.
|
|
|
|
To set this up, one must have `docker` and `docker-compose` installed and configured. Then, go into the directory where you cloned `StartTree`, and run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd docker
|
|
vim docker-compose.yaml # edit specifics to your liking
|
|
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will make the `NGINX` server persist across reboots. You can point your browser's new tab and home page to `localhost:<port#>` and you should see your startpage!
