Configuration
Intro
Configuration is done via a single YAML file and a server restart is required in order for any changes to take effect. Trying to start the server with an invalid config file will result in an error.

Configure the widgets, add more of them, add extra pages, etc. Make it your own!
Server
Server configuration is done through a top level server
property. Example:
server:
port: 8080
assets-path: /home/user/glance-assets
Properties
Name | Type | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|
host | string | no | |
port | number | no | 8080 |
base-url | string | no | |
assets-path | string | no |
host
The address which the server will listen on. Setting it to localhost
means that only the machine that the server is running on will be able to access the dashboard. By default it will listen on all interfaces.
port
A number between 1 and 65,535, so long as that port isn't already used by anything else.
base-url
The base URL that Glance is hosted under. No need to specify this unless you're using a reverse proxy and are hosting Glance under a directory. If that's the case then you can set this value to /glance
or whatever the directory is called. Note that the forward slash (/
) in the beginning is required unless you specify the full domain and path.
assets-path
The path to a directory that will be served by the server under the /assets/
path. This is handy for widgets like the Monitor where you have to specify an icon URL and you want to self host all the icons rather than pointing to an external source.
Important
When installing through docker the path will point to the files inside the container. Don't forget to mount your assets path to the same path inside the container. Example:
If your assets are in:
/home/user/glance-assets
You should mount:
/home/user/glance-assets:/app/assets
And your config should contain:
assets-path: /app/assets
Examples
Say you have a directory glance-assets
with a file gitea-icon.png
in it and you specify your assets path like:
assets-path: /home/user/glance-assets
To be able to point to an asset from your assets path, use the /assets/
path like such:
icon: /assets/gitea-icon.png
Branding
You can adjust the various parts of the branding through a top level branding
property. Example:
branding:
custom-footer: |
<p>Powered by <a href="https://github.com/glanceapp/glance">Glance</a></p>
logo-url: /assets/logo.png
favicon-url: /assets/logo.png
Properties
Name | Type | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|
hide-footer | bool | no | false |
custom-footer | string | no | |
logo-text | string | no | G |
logo-url | string | no | |
favicon-url | string | no |
hide-footer
Hides the footer when set to true
.
custom-footer
Specify custom HTML to use for the footer.
logo-text
Specify custom text to use instead of the "G" found in the navigation.
logo-url
Specify a URL to a custom image to use instead of the "G" found in the navigation. If both logo-text
and logo-url
are set, only logo-url
will be used.
favicon-url
Specify a URL to a custom image to use for the favicon.
Theme
Theming is done through a top level theme
property. Values for the colors are in HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) format. You can use a color picker like this one to convert colors from other formats to HSL. The values are separated by a space and %
is not required for any of the numbers.
Example:
theme:
background-color: 100 20 10
primary-color: 40 90 40
contrast-multiplier: 1.1
Themes
If you don't want to spend time configuring your own theme, there are several available themes which you can simply copy the values for.
Properties
Name | Type | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|
light | boolean | no | false |
background-color | HSL | no | 240 8 9 |
primary-color | HSL | no | 43 50 70 |
positive-color | HSL | no | same as primary-color |
negative-color | HSL | no | 0 70 70 |
contrast-multiplier | number | no | 1 |
text-saturation-multiplier | number | no | 1 |
custom-css-file | string | no |
light
Whether the scheme is light or dark. This does not change the background color, it inverts the text colors so that they look appropriately on a light background.
background-color
Color of the page and widgets.
primary-color
Color used across the page, largely to indicate unvisited links.
positive-color
Used to indicate that something is positive, such as stock price being up, twitch channel being live or a monitored site being online. If not set, the value of primary-color
will be used.
negative-color
Oppposite of positive-color
.
contrast-multiplier
Used to increase or decrease the contrast (in other words visibility) of the text. A value of 1.3
means that the text will be 30% lighter/darker depending on the scheme. Use this if you think that some of the text on the page is too dark and hard to read. Example:
text-saturation-multiplier
Used to increase or decrease the saturation of text, useful when using a custom background color with a high amount of saturation and needing the text to have a more neutral color. 0.5
means that the saturation will be 50% lower and 1.5
means that it'll be 50% higher.
custom-css-file
Path to a custom CSS file, either external or one from within the server configured assets path. Example:
theme:
custom-css-file: /assets/my-style.css
Tip
Because Glance uses a lot of utility classes it might be difficult to target some elements. To make it easier to style specific widgets, each widget has a
widget-type-{name}
class, so for example if you wanted to make the links inside just the RSS widget bigger you could use the following selector:.widget-type-rss a { font-size: 1.5rem; } In addition, you can also use the `css-class` property which is available on every widget to set custom class names for individual widgets.
Pages & Columns
Using pages and columns is how widgets are organized. Each page contains up to 3 columns and each column can have any number of widgets.
Pages
Pages are defined through a top level pages
property. The page defined first becomes the home page and all pages get automatically added to the navigation bar in the order that they were defined. Example:
pages:
- name: Home
columns: ...
- name: Videos
columns: ...
- name: Homelab
columns: ...
Properties
Name | Type | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|
title | string | yes | |
slug | string | no | |
width | string | no | |
hide-desktop-navigation | boolean | no | false |
show-mobile-header | boolean | no | false |
columns | array | yes |
title
The name of the page which gets shown in the navigation bar.
slug
The URL friendly version of the title which is used to access the page. For example if the title of the page is "RSS Feeds" you can make the page accessible via localhost:8080/feeds
by setting the slug to feeds
. If not defined, it will automatically be generated from the title.
width
The maximum width of the page on desktop. Possible values are slim
and wide
.
- default:
1600px
- slim:
1100px
- wide:
1920px
Note
When using
slim
, the maximum number of columns allowed for that page is2
.
hide-desktop-navigation
Whether to show the navigation links at the top of the page on desktop.
show-mobile-header
Whether to show a header displaying the name of the page on mobile. The header purposefully has a lot of vertical whitespace in order to push the content down and make it easier to reach on tall devices.
Preview:
Columns
Columns are defined for each page using a columns
property. There are two types of columns - full
and small
, which refers to their width. A small column takes up a fixed amount of width (300px) and a full column takes up the all of the remaining width. You can have up to 3 columns per page and you must have either 1 or 2 full columns. Example:
pages:
- name: Home
columns:
- size: small
widgets: ...
- size: full
widgets: ...
- size: small
widgets: ...
Properties
Name | Type | Required |
---|---|---|
size | string | yes |
widgets | array | no |
Here are some of the possible column configurations:
columns:
- size: small
widgets: ...
- size: full
widgets: ...
- size: small
widgets: ...
columns:
- size: full
widgets: ...
- size: small
widgets: ...
columns:
- size: full
widgets: ...
- size: full
widgets: ...
Widgets
Widgets are defined for each column using a widgets
property. Example:
pages:
- name: Home
columns:
- size: small
widgets:
- type: weather
location: London, United Kingdom
Note
Currently not all widgets are designed to fit every column size, however some widgets offer different "styles" that help alleviate this limitation.

.
The engagement
sort tries to place the posts with the most points and comments on top, also prioritizing recent over old posts.
Search Widget
Display a search bar that can be used to search for specific terms on various search engines.
Example:
- type: search
search-engine: duckduckgo
bangs:
- title: YouTube
shortcut: "!yt"
url: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query={QUERY}
Preview:
Keyboard shortcuts
Keys | Action | Condition |
---|---|---|
S | Focus the search bar | Not already focused on another input field |
Enter | Perform search in the same tab | Search input is focused and not empty |
Ctrl + Enter | Perform search in a new tab | Search input is focused and not empty |
Escape | Leave focus | Search input is focused |
Tip
You can use the property
new-tab
with a value oftrue
if you want to show search results in a new tab by default. Ctrl + Enter will then show results in the same tab.
Properties
Name | Type | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|
search-engine | string | no | duckduckgo |
new-tab | boolean | no | false |
autofocus | boolean | no | false |
bangs | array | no |
search-engine
Either a value from the table below or a URL to a custom search engine. Use {QUERY}
to indicate where the query value gets placed.
Name | URL |
---|---|
duckduckgo | https://duckduckgo.com/?q={QUERY} |
https://www.google.com/search?q={QUERY} |
new-tab
When set to true
, swaps the shortcuts for showing results in the same or new tab, defaulting to showing results in a new tab.
new-tab
When set to true
, automatically focuses the search input on page load.
bangs
What now? Bangs. They're shortcuts that allow you to use the same search box for many different sites. Assuming you have it configured, if for example you start your search input with !yt
you'd be able to perform a search on YouTube:
Properties for each bang
Name | Type | Required |
---|---|---|
title | string | no |
shortcut | string | yes |
url | string | yes |
title
Optional title that will appear on the right side of the search bar when the query starts with the associated shortcut.
shortcut
Any value you wish to use as the shortcut for the search engine. It does not have to start with !
.
Important
In YAML some characters have special meaning when placed in the beginning of a value. If your shortcut starts with
!
(and potentially some other special characters) you'll have to wrap the value in quotes:shortcut: "!yt"
url
The URL of the search engine. Use {QUERY}
to indicate where the query value gets placed. Examples:
url: https://www.reddit.com/search?q={QUERY}
url: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?term={QUERY}
url: https://www.amazon.com/s?k={QUERY}
Group
Group multiple widgets into one using tabs. Widgets are defined using a widgets
property exactly as you would on a page column. The only limitation is that you cannot place a group widget within a group widget.
Example:
- type: group
widgets:
- type: reddit
subreddit: gamingnews
show-thumbnails: true
collapse-after: 6
- type: reddit
subreddit: games
- type: reddit
subreddit: pcgaming
show-thumbnails: true
Preview:
Sharing properties
To avoid repetition you can use YAML anchors and share properties between widgets.
Example:
- type: group
define: &shared-properties
type: reddit
show-thumbnails: true
collapse-after: 6
widgets:
- subreddit: gamingnews
<<: *shared-properties
- subreddit: games
<<: *shared-properties
- subreddit: pcgaming
<<: *shared-properties
Extension
Display a widget provided by an external source (3rd party). If you want to learn more about developing extensions, checkout the extensions documentation (WIP).

token
Without authentication Github allows for up to 60 requests per hour. You can easily exceed this limit and start seeing errors if you're tracking lots of repositories or your cache time is low. To circumvent this you can create a read only token from your Github account and provide it here.
You can also specify the value for this token through an ENV variable using the syntax ${GITHUB_TOKEN}
where GITHUB_TOKEN
is the name of the variable that holds the token. If you've installed Glance through docker you can specify the token in your docker-compose:
services:
glance:
image: glanceapp/glance
environment:
- GITHUB_TOKEN: <your token>
and then use it in your glance.yml
like this:
- type: releases
token: ${GITHUB_TOKEN}
repositories: ...
This way you can safely check your glance.yml
in version control without exposing the token.
gitlab-token
Same as the above but used when fetching GitLab releases.
