# Homer
A dead simple static **HOM**epage for your serv**ER** to keep your services on hand, from a simple `yaml` configuration file.

If you need authentication support, you're on your own (it can be secured using a web server auth module or exposing it only through a VPN network / SSH tunnel, ...)

**How to build / install it? Where is the webpack config?**
There is no build system (😱), use it like that! It'meant to be stupid simple & zero maintenance required. just copy the static files somewhere, and visit the `index.html`.


## configuration

Title, icons, links, colors, and services can be configured in the `config.yml` file, using [yaml](http://yaml.org/) format.

        subtitle: "Pingdom public reports overview"
        tag: "CI"
        url: "#"

```

If you choose to fetch message information from an endpoint, the output format should be:

```json
{
	"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)
