I’ve seen a lot of posts for a lot of different homepage for selfhosters: homepage, homer, homarr (which has an 700 MB image!).
I was after something lightweight, simple and easy to configure and get up and running without all the frills and flashy features. And I found a hidden geml in envlinks - a really simple dashboard that is supersimple to configure (just env-variables in the compose file) and still customisable enough for my needs.
Hope it will satisfy the need of other minimalists out there :-)
I’m not really sure what this does that necessitates all of this code and backend? I just have a single HTML file with embedded CSS, and it looks better than their demo.
Presumably auto detects your containers? Otherwise yeah, I don’t see the advantage.
I used to have a bookmark html and some CSS but nowadays I just use the proxy list in NPM — if you click on a domain it opens in a new tab.
I have tried numerous dashboards but that I use Tailscale on my devices, I just use golink https://github.com/tailscale/golink
So much server-side code :/ I wrote my own in pure HTML/CSS which gets rebuilt by ansible depending on services installed on the host. Basic YAML config for custom links/title/message.
Next “big” change would be a dark theme, but I get by with Dark Reader which I need for other sites anyway. I think it looks ok
This looks really slick! I don’t use ansible though, can I still benefit from running it?
Edit: just realized that your project has a larger scope than this, but still awesome to see how you solved the homepage feature.
You can probably use it by templating out https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/blob/master/roles/homepage/templates/index.html.j2 manually or using jinja2. basically remove the
{% ...%}
markers and replace{{ ... }}
blocks with your own text/links.You will need a copy of the res directory alongside index.html (images, stylesheet).
You can duplicate
col-1-3 mobile-col-1-1
andcol-1-6 mobile-col-1-2
and divs as many times as you like and they will arrange themselves on the page, responsively.But yeah this is actually made with ansible/integration with my roles in mind.
Lovely dashboard, like that it is so easy to use. But, am I missing something with just having a folder with links to my services? It is searchable, portable (Firefox profiles), and easy to modify.
A folder with links in your firefox profile works wonders for a single user case, but if you have other people using your applications (and they change from time to time), then a dashboard like this can be quite useful.
Images of Bookmarks don’t “look cool” to other nerds on the internet.
I’ve tried nearly every selfhosted dashboard out there and in the end settled for static html/css/js. If you want to access links quickly by typing abbreviations then use something like https://github.com/Ozencb/tilde-enhanced. A lot lighter and can be used with an existing webserver too.
