HomePage

[timconsidine]

A highly customizable homepage (or startpage / application dashboard) with Docker and service API integrations.

Not yet at V1.0 release but seems to be getting traction
Might (ha ha) be a simple packaging.

Nice, the docker labels discovery is an interesting feature!

[timconsidine]

Initial package done
Need to do some testing
Will then post a repo

sorry, i don'Ät get it... whats the usecase for this?

[timconsidine]

@RazielKanos it is similar concept to Heimdall, Flame, Homarr, even Shiori
Basically a dashboard of apps (they call them services) and website links (they call them bookmarks).
Cloudron has its own dashboard of installed apps, but (a) it's not navigable in the same way, and (b) it's only installed apps, this can provide a dashboard for any link.

[timconsidine]

OK, I have a working custom app package
https://git.cloudron.io/timconsidine/homepage-cloudron

There is one install glitch that I simply cannot fathom (maybe it's just my environment).
But I have provided a solution which is detailed in POSTINSTALL.md in case it is not just me.

Do let me know if it works 'out the box' for you - it might.
Otherwise follow the workaround.

NB : there is an oddity in the app about mismatch of background image location.
Follow the POSTINSTALL.md details.

since the .md links are not internet addressable as file, best to link to the actual repo location: https://git.cloudron.io/timconsidine/homepage-cloudron/-/blob/main/POSTINSTALL.md

I assumed people would just read it in the repo, so good point, thank you.

I have now populated my Homepage, and can give feedback that :

• the compact design allows rapid access to large number of links
• it is more compact than Heimdall or Flame or Shiori, and so more 'efficient' in screen space
• it supports tabs ! so even more can be achieved in a single (kinda) screen
• the YAML config needs a little mastering, but the reward is a lot of customisation possible
• more customisable than Cloudron dashboard (which has little choice)
• support for SimpleIcons, Material Design Icons and Dashboard icons makes configuring YAML much quicker
• background is of course customisable (design and opacity), or have none for maximum clarity
• inclusion of CPU, RAM and DISK stats is helpful keeping an eye on things

I can be disorganised physically and mentally, and am hoping this will make life easier.

EDIT : image is bit large so looks bad unless you open and zoom

I have resolved the issue around completing the installation.
A small step still needs to be done as detailed in instructions (restart the app then refresh the screen).
Seems this is a known node issue, so nothing more I can do about it.
Repo updated.
