Homer

A dead simple static HOMepage for your servER to keep your services on hand, from a simple yaml configuration file.

Check out the live demo here.

It supports keyboard shortcuts:

• / Start searching.
• Escape Stop searching.
• Enter Open the first matching result (respects the bookmark's _target property).
• Alt/Option + Enter Open the first matching result in a new tab.

If you need authentication support, you're on your own (it can be secured using a web server auth module or exposing it only through a VPN network / SSH tunnel, ...)

Roadmap

• Colors / theme customization
• Enable PWA support (making possible to "install" - add to homescreen - it)
• Improve maintenability (external library import & service workers cached file list.)

Installation

Using docker

sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 -v /your/local/config.yml:/www/config.yml -v /your/local/assets/:/www/assets b4bz/homer:latest

Manually

How to build / install it? There is no build system (😱), use it like that! It's meant to be stupid simple & zero maintenance required. Just copy the static files somewhere, and visit the index.html.

Configuration

Title, icons, links, colors, and services can be configured in the config.yml file, using yaml format.

If you choose to fetch message information from an endpoint, the output format should be:

{
	"style": null,
	"title": "Lorem ipsum 42",
	"content": "LA LA LA Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ....."
}

null value or missing keys will be ignored and value from the config.yml will be used if available. Empty values (either in config.yml or the endpoint data) will hide the element (ex: set "title": "" to hide the title bar).
