Getting started

Homer is a full static html/js dashboard, generated from the source in /src using webpack. It's meant to be served by an HTTP server, it will not work if you open dist/index.html directly over file:// protocol.

Using docker

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

Using the release tarball (prebuilt, ready to use)

Download and extract the latest the latest release (homer.zip) from the release page, rename the config.yml.dist file to config.yml, and put it behind a webserver.

wget https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer/releases/latest/download/homer.zip
unzip homer.zip
cd homer
cp config.yml.dist config.yml
npx serve # or python -m http.server 8010 or apache, nginx ...

Build manually

# Using yarn (recommended)
yarn install
yarn build

# **OR** Using npm
npm install
npm run build

Then your dashboard is ready to use in the /dist directory.

Configuration

Title, icons, links, colors, and services can be configured in the config.yml file (located in project root directory once built, or in the public/ directory in developement mode), using yaml format.

services:
  - name: "Application"
    icon: "fa fa-code-fork"
    items:
      - name: "Awesome app"
        logo: "assets/tools/sample.png"
        # Alternatively a fa icon can be provided:
        # icon: "fab fa-jenkins"
        subtitle: "Bookmark example"
        tag: "app"
        url: "https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/"
        target: "_blank" # optional html tag target attribute
      - name: "Another one"
        logo: "assets/tools/sample2.png"
        subtitle: "Another application"
        tag: "app"
        # Optional tagstyle
        tagstyle: "is-success"
        url: "#"
  - name: "Other group"
    icon: "fas fa-heartbeat"
    items:
      - name: "Another app"
        logo: "assets/tools/sample.png"
        subtitle: "Another example"
        tag: "other"
        url: "https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/"
        target: "_blank" # optionnal html a tag target attribute

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).

Style Options

Homer uses bulma CSS, which provides a modifiers syntax. You'll notice in the config there is a tagstyle option. It can be set to any of the bulma modifiers. You'll probably want to use one of these 4 main colors:

• is-info (blue)
• is-success (green)
• is-warning (yellow)
• is-danger (red)

You can read the bulma modifiers page for other options regarding size, style, or state.

Roadmap

• Add more themes.
• Add support for custom service card (add custom feature to some service / app link)

Development

# Using yarn (recommended)
yarn install
yarn serve

# **OR** Using npm
npm install
npm run serve

Themes

Themes are meant to be simple customization (written in scss). To addd a new theme, just add a file in the theme directory, and put all style in the body #app.theme-<name> scope. Then import it in the main style file.

// `src/assets/themes/my-awesome-theme.scss`
body #app.theme-my-awesome-theme. { ... }

// `src/assets/app.scss`
// Themes import
@import "./themes/sui.scss";
...
@import "./themes/my-awesome-theme.scss";
