   1 # Custom Services
   2
   3 Some service can use a specific a component that provides some extra features by adding a `type` key to the service yaml
   4 configuration and, where applicable, an apikey. Note that config.yml is exposed at /assets/config.yml via HTTP and any

   6 if your homer instance is secured behind some form of authentication or access restriction.
