Add custom links to the dashboard
-
Generally this feature would not be too hard to implement, however we have to see how this can work with filtering apps a user has access to as well as the other domain and tag based filters.
The simplest way to add this would of course be to ignore all that and simple be able to add an icon+url+title to the dashboard for all users. Would this already suffice?

Don't get me wrong, the tag-based filters would be cool. But maybe in the future. For now, I personally think your basic solution suffices. Though, I imagine people will want to start re-organizing their apps eventually...also future food for thought.

Is the use case here for admins to add links for all users or for users to add their own links? I assume it's the former but just checking.

Perhaps another option would be to use something like @thetomester13 made here:
https://forum.cloudron.io/post/9938
I'd love something like that to be available as a Cloudron app.
Or perhaps even better, to just have Heimdall available as an app https://github.com/linuxserver/Heimdall (as others have mentioned in the above thread).
@NCKNE has added it to the app wishlist, so upvote here:

https://forum.cloudron.io/post/6133@jdaviescoates Super interesting! You actually gave me an idea.
I don’t have to ask the Cloudron dashboard developers make an “empty” app . I can just make my own and configure Apache to forward to the external site based on whatever external site I want to add. Unfortunately that takes away server resources than simple direct custom links for the dashboard so I still want this, but I can get around it for now.

if it's wanted, I can extend my Homepage app's functionality to include a list of custom URL's in addition to Cloudron apps. -
I just updated the other related thread, but wanted to keep everyone here in the loop as well. The Homepage app has been updated to officially support custom links, reordering the apps, as well as the option to force links to open in a new tab.
