Get started
Homer is a full static html/js dashboard, based on a simple yaml configuration file. See documentation for information about the configuration (assets/config.yml) options.
It's meant to be served by an HTTP server, it will not work if you open the index.html directly over file:// protocol.
Using docker
The configuration directory is bind mounted to make your dashboard easy to maintain.
Start the container with docker run
# Make sure your local config directory exists
docker run -d \
--name homer \
-p 8080:8080 \
--mount type=bind,source="/path/to/config/dir",target=/www/assets \
--restart=unless-stopped \
b4bz/homer:latest[!NOTE]
The container will run using a user uid and gid 1000 by default, add--user <your-UID>:<your-GID>to the docker command to adjust it if necessary. Make sure this match the permissions of your assets directory.
or docker-compose
services:
homer:
image: b4bz/homer
container_name: homer
volumes:
- /path/to/config/dir:/www/assets # Make sure your local config directory exists
ports:
- 8080:8080
user: 1000:1000 # default
environment:
- INIT_ASSETS=1 # default, requires the config directory to be writable for the container user (see user option)
restart: unless-stoppedEnvironment variables:
INIT_ASSETS(default:1)
Install example configuration file & assets (favicons, ...) to help you get started.SUBFOLDER(default:null)
If you would like to host Homer in a subfolder, (ex: http://my-domain/homer), set this to the subfolder path (ex/homer).PORT(default:8080)
If you would like to change internal port of Homer from default8080to your port choice.IPV6_DISABLE(default: 0)
Set to1to disable listening on IPv6.
Using the release tarball (prebuilt, ready to use)
Download and extract the latest release (homer.zip) from the release page, rename the assets/config.yml.dist file to assets/config.yml, and put it behind a web server.
wget https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer/releases/latest/download/homer.zip
unzip homer.zip -d homer
cd homer
cp assets/config.yml.dist assets/config.yml
pnpx http-server # or python -m http.server 8010 or any web server.Build manually
pnpm install
pnpm buildThen your dashboard is ready to use in the /dist directory.

File: docs/configuration.md
Configuration
Homer relies on a single yaml configuration file, located in the /assets directory..dist sample configuration files are available to help you get started. Alternatively, the example below can be
copied into the config file.
[!NOTE]
On docker installations, the sample configuration is automatically installed when no configuration is found if
the configuration directory is writable to the docker user. If no configuration has been installed, check your
container logs and your mounted configuration directory ownership & permissions
/* Detailed source-code truncated for AI context efficiency. */View smart cards for details about all available cards (like PiHole) and how to configure them.
If you choose to fetch message information from an endpoint, the output format should be as follows (or you can custom map fields as shown in tips-and-tricks):
{
"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).
Connectivity checks
As a webapp (PWA) the dashboard can still be displayed when your homer server is offline.
The connectivity checker periodically sends a HEAD request bypassing the PWA cache to the dashboard page to make sure it's still reachable.
It can be useful when you access your dashboard through a VPN or ssh tunnel for example, to know if your connection is up. It also helps when using an authentication proxy, it will reload the page if the authentication expires (when a redirect is send in response to the HEAD request).
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.
Theming & customization
See colors settings in the configuration example above.
Favicon and application icon (pwa) are located in the assets/icons directory and can be replaced by any image you want (just keep the same name & size).
The /assets/manifest.json can also be edited to change the app (pwa) name, description and other settings.

Smart cards
Smart cards provide specific integration for external services. They display additional information and extra features beyond basic service card. Smart cards are enabled by adding a type key to the service item in your YAML configuration.
Each service integration has different requirements and may need additional configuration parameters (see card list below).
[!WARNING]
Yourconfig.ymlfile is exposed at/assets/config.ymlvia HTTP. Any sensitive information (like API keys)
in this file is visible to anyone who can access your Homer instance. Only include API keys if your Homer
instance is protected by authentication or access controls or use a proxy likeCORSair
to inject your credentials safely, using environment variable on the server side.

[!IMPORTANT]
Smart cards that interact with external services are subject to CORS restrictions, therefore require one of the following:
- All services hosted on the same domain as Homer (mydomain.tld/pihole, mydomain.tld/proxmox) to avoid cross-domain request entirely.
- All services configured to accept cross-site requests by sending the necessary CORS headers (either directly in service configuration or via proxy).
- Use a proxy to add the necessary CORS headers (lot of options, some of them described here. Also check
CORSair, a light and simple solution).If you experience any issues, see the troubleshooting page.
Common options
- name: "My Service"
type: "<type>"
logo: "assets/tools/sample.png" # Optional
url: https://my-service.url # Optional: Card link and API base url unless 'endpoint' is provided (see below)

useCredentials: false # Optional: Override global proxy.useCredentials configuration.
headers: # Optional: Override global proxy.headers configuration.If a subtitle is provided, (using the subtitle configuration key), it will override (hide) any custom information displayed on the subtitle line by the custom integration.
[!TIP]
Auto refresh of the card data: Some cards support periodic update (see indication in detail below). It can be enabled or disabled globally for all service, or individually for each service using theupdateIntervalMsconfiguration option.

The API Token (or the user assigned to that token if not separated permissions is checked) are this:
| Path | Permission | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| /nodes/<your-node> | Sys.Audit | |
| /vms/\ | VM.Audit | You need to have this permission on any VM you want to be counted |
It is highly recommended that you create and API Token with only these permissions on a read-only mode.

opensurlas configured.If you want the card to keep opening a status page, either:
point

url, otherwise the API calls are made against the status page path and fail:yaml- name: "Uptime Kuma" type: "UptimeKuma" url: https://my-service.url/status/my-slug # where the card links to endpoint: https://my-service.url # where the API lives slug: "my-slug"or set Settings > General > Entry Page in Uptime Kuma to that status page, which sends everyone

Custom services are small VueJs component (see src/components/services/) that add little features to a classic, "static", dashboard item. It should be very simple.
A dashboard can contain a lot of items, so performance is very important.
The Generic service provides a typical card layout which
you can extend to add specific features. Unless you want a completely different design, extended the generic service is the recommended way. It gives you 3 slots to extend: icon, content and indicator.
Each one is optional, and will display the usual information if omitted.
Each service must implement the item property and bind it the Generic component if used.
Skeleton

Themes are meant to be simple customization (written in scss).
To add 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.

Tips & Tricks
Here is a collection of neat tips and tricks that Homer users have come up with!
Dashboard icons
Great source to find service icons
Use Homer as a custom "new tab" page
`by @vosdev`
These extensions for Firefox and Chrome & Friends allow you to have your homer dashboard in your new tab page, while leaving focus on the address bar meaning you can still type right away if you want to search or go to a page that is not on your homer dash.
The Firefox extension loads Homer in an iframe on your new tab page, meaning you have to add target: '_top' to each of your items.
- name: "Reddit"
logo: "assets/daily/reddit.png"
url: "https://reddit.com"
target: '_top'
- name: "YouTube"
logo: "assets/daily/youtube.png"
url: "https://youtube.com"
target: '_top'YAML Anchors
`by @JamiePhonic`
Since Homer is configured using YAML, it supports all of YAML's helpful features, such as anchoring!
For example, you can define tags and tag styles for each "item" in a service.
Using Anchoring, you can define all your tags and their styles once like this: (for example)
# Some pre-defined tag styles. reference these using <<: *{NAME} inside an item definition; For Example, <<: *Apps
tags:
Favourite: &Favourite
- tag: "Favourite"
tagstyle: "is-medium is-primary"
CI: &CI
- tag: "CI"
tagstyle: "is-medium is-success"
Apps: &Apps
- tag: "App"
tagstyle: "is-medium is-info"and then simply reference these pre-defined (anchored) tags in each item like so:
- name: "VS Code"
logo: "/assets/vscode.png"
subtitle: "Develop Code Anywhere, On Anything!"
<<: *Apps # Reference to the predefined "App" Tag
url: "https://vscode.example.com/"
target: "_blank" # optional html tag target attributeThen when Homer reads your config, it will substitute your anchors automatically, the above example is equal to:
- name: "VS Code"
logo: "/assets/vscode.png"
subtitle: "Develop Code Anywhere, On Anything!"
tag: "App"
tagstyle: "is-medium is-info"
url: "https://vscode.example.com/"
target: "_blank" # optional html tag target attributeThe end result is that if you want to update the name or style of any particular tag, just update it once, in the tags section!
Great if you have a lot of services or a lot of tags!
YAML auto complete with a YAML schema
A lot of editor support auto completion, see https://www.schemastore.org/json/
The homer schema is available here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bastienwirtz/homer/main/.schema/config-schema.json
For example with IntelliJ you can define:
# $schema: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bastienwirtz/homer/main/.schema/config-schema.jsonWith VSCode you can define it like this:
# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bastienwirtz/homer/main/.schema/config-schema.jsonRemotely edit your config with Code Server
`by @JamiePhonic`
Homer doesn't yet provide a way to edit your configuration from inside Homer itself, but that doesn't mean it can't be done!
You can setup and use Code-Server to edit your config.yml file from anywhere!
If you're running Homer in docker, you can setup a Code-Server container and pass your homer config directory into it.
Simply pass your homer config directory as an extra -v parameter to your code-server container:
-v '/your/local/homer/config-dir/':'/config/homer':'rw'This will map your homer config directory (For example, /docker/appdata/homer/) into code-server's /config/ directory, in a sub folder called homer
As a bonus, Code-Server puts the "current folder" as a parameter in the URL bar, so you could add a links: entry in Homer that points to your code-server instance with the directory pre-filled for essentially 1 click editing!
For example:
links:
- name: Edit config
icon: fas fa-cog
url: https://vscode.example.net/?folder=/config/homer
target: "_blank" # optional html tag target attributewhere the path after ?folder= is the path to the folder where you mounted your homer config INSIDE the Code-Server container.
Example Code-Server docker create command
docker create \
--name=code-server \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-e PASSWORD={YOUR_PASSWORD} `#optional` \
-e SUDO_PASSWORD={YOUR SUDO_PASSWORD} `#optional` \
-p 8443:8443 \
-v /path/to/appdata/config:/config \
-v /your/local/homer/config-dir/:/config/homer \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/code-serverGet the news headlines in Homer
Mapping Fields
Most times, the url you're getting headlines from follows a different schema than the one expected by Homer.
For example, if you would like to show jokes from ChuckNorris.io, you'll find that the url https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random is giving you info like this:
{
"categories": [],
"created_at": "2020-01-05 13:42:22.089095",
"icon_url": "https://assets.chucknorris.host/img/avatar/chuck-norris.png",
"id": "MR2-BnMBR667xSpQBIleUg",
"updated_at": "2020-01-05 13:42:22.089095",
"url": "https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/MR2-BnMBR667xSpQBIleUg",
"value": "Chuck Norris can quitely sneak up on himself"
}but... you need that info to be transformed to something like this:
{
"title": "MR2-BnMBR667xSpQBIleUg",
"content": "Chuck Norris can quitely sneak up on himself"
}Now, you can do that using the mapping field in your message configuration. This example would be something like this:
message:
url: https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random
mapping:
title: 'id'
content: 'value'As you would see, using the ID as a title doesn't seem nice, that's why when a field is empty it would keep the default values, like this:
message:
url: https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random
mapping:
content: 'value'
title: "Chuck Norris Facts!"and even an error message in case the url didn't respond or threw an error:
message:
url: https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random
mapping:
content: 'value'
title: "Chuck Norris Facts!"
content: "Message could not be loaded"`by @JamiePhonic`
Homer allows you to set a "message" that will appear at the top of the page, however, you can also supply a url:.
If the URL you specified returns a JSON object that defines a title and content item, homer will replace these values from your config.yml with the ones in the returned object.
So, using Node-Red and a quick flow, you can process an RSS feed to replace the message with a news item!
To get started, simply import this flow into your Node-Red instance and change the RSS feed in the "Get News RSS Feed" node to one of your choosing!
So far, the flow has been tested with BBC News and Sky News, however it should be easy to modify the flow to work with other RSS feeds if they don't work out of the box!
Write HTML into the dashboard
Show latest camera feed
`by @matheusvellone`
The message.content config entry accepts HTML code, so you can add images.
If you use Frigate, or have any latest.jpg URL for your camera, you can add it to your dashboard. You can also style the div/img tags to look nicer on your dashboard.
message:
title: Cameras
content: >
<a href="http://frigate.local:5000/cameras/garage">
</a>
<a href="http://frigate.local:5000/cameras/backyard">
</a>When using Frigate you can even add a live feed to your dashboard, like this:
message:
title: Cameras
content: >File: docs/troubleshooting.md
Troubleshooting
My docker container refuse to start / is stuck at restarting
You might be facing a permission issue. First of all, check your container logs (adjust the container name if necessary):
$ docker logs homer
[...]
Assets directory not writable. Check assets directory permissions & docker user or skip default assets install by setting the INIT_ASSETS env var to 0In this case you need to make sure your mounted assets directory have the same GID / UID the container user have (default 1000:1000), and that the read and write permission is granted for the user or the group.
You can either:
- Update your assets directory permissions (ex:
chown -R 1000:1000 /your/assets/folder/,chmod -R u+rw /your/assets/folder/) - Change the docker user by using the
--userarguments with docker cli oruser: 1000:1000with docker compose.
[!NOTE]
- Do not use env var to set the GID / UID of the user running container. Use the Docker
useroption.- Do not use 0:0 as a user value, it would be a security risk, and it's not guaranty to work.
Check this thread for more information about debugging
permission issues.
My service card doesn't work, nothing appears or offline status is displayed (pi-hole, sonarr, ping, ...)
You might be facing a CORS (Cross Origin Request Sharing) issue.
It happens when the targeted service is hosted on a different domain or port.
Web browsers will not allow to fetch information from a different site without explicit permissions (the targeted service
must include a special Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * HTTP headers).
If this happens your web console (ctrl+shift+i or F12) will be filled with this kind of errors:
Access to fetch at 'https://<target-service>' from origin 'https://<homer>' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.To resolve this, you can either:
- Host all your target service under the same domain & port.
- Modify the target server configuration so that the response of the server included following header-
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS#simple_requests). It might be an option in the targeted service, otherwise depending on how the service is hosted, the proxy or web server can seamlessly add it. - Use a proxy to add the necessary CORS headers (lot of options, some of them described here. Also check
CORSair, a light and simple solution)
I am using an authentication proxy and homer says I am offline
This should be a configuration issue.
- Make sure the option
connectivityCheckis set totruein configuration. - Check your proxy configuration, the expected behavior is to redirect user using a 302 to the login page when user is not authenticated.
I put my API key into the OpenWeather service and it still isn't working
If you have just made an OpenWeatherMap account and/or a newly-made API key, there is a high chance that you need to wait for it to be activated (often a few hours). If after waiting it still doesn't work, make sure to check the location you have provided since it may be an invalid location.
For some basic debugging steps, you can:
- Check with a large city such as Amsterdam as the specified location within your configuration.
- Make sure your web browser is running the latest version of the homer configuration after updating the location (Ctrl + Shift + R).
- Check for errors within the browser console (Ctrl + Shift + I) relating to api.openweathermap.org
File: dummy-data/README.md
Dummy data
This directory content makes possible to test custom services cards or create a demo without actually running the service.
The principle is simple: save a sample output of the API used in the service in a static file in this directory. The path must be identical as the service endpoint to be used seamlessly.
Start the mock server to expose dummy data
pnpm mockHow to add a new services sample
- create a directory for your service, and any sub-folder existing in the service api path.
- save the api output in a file named after the service endpoint.
Example:
mkdir pihole
curl http://my-pihole.me/admin/api.php -o pihole/api.php # /admin is omitted because for PiHole, the implementation expect it to be in the base url (`url` or `endpoint` property)File: public/assets/icons/README.md
