# Homer

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

**Check out the live demo [here](https://homer-demo.netlify.app).**

It supports keyboard shortcuts:

* `/` Start searching.
* `Escape` Stop searching.
* `Enter` Open the first matching result (respects the bookmark's `_target` property).
* `Alt`/`Option` + `Enter` Open the first matching result in a new tab.

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, ...)

## Roadmap

* [ ] Colors / theme customization
* [ ] Enable PWA support (making possible to "install" - add to homescreen - it)
* [ ] Improve maintainability (external library import & service workers cached file list.)

## Installation

### Using docker

```sh
sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 -v /your/local/config.yml:/www/config.yml -v /your/local/assets/:/www/assets b4bz/homer:latest
```

### Manually

**How to build / install it?** There is no build system (😱), use it like that! It's 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.

```yaml
---
# Homepage configuration
# See https://fontawesome.com/icons for icons options

title: "Simple homepage"

# Optional message

  style: "is-warning"
  title: "Optional message!"
  content: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque risus mi, tempus quis placerat ut, porta nec nulla. Vestibulum rhoncus ac ex sit amet fringilla. Nullam gravida purus diam, et dictum felis venenatis efficitur. Aenean ac eleifend lacus, in mollis lectus. Donec sodales, arcu et sollicitudin porttitor, tortor urna tempor ligula."

# Optional navbar
# links: [] # Allows for navbar (dark mode, layout, and search) without any links
links:

    url: "https://github.com/xxxxx/ansible/"
    target: '_blank' # optional html a tag target attribute
  - name: "Wiki"
    icon: "fas fa-book"
    url: "https://wiki.xxxxxx.com/"

# Services
# First level array represent a group.
# Leave only a "items" key if not using group (group name, icon & tagstyle are optional, section separation will not be displayed).
services:
  - name: "DevOps"
    icon: "fa fa-code-fork"
    items:
      - name: "Jenkins"
        logo: "/assets/tools/jenkins.png"
        # Alternatively a fa icon can be provided:
        # icon: "fab fa-jenkins"
        subtitle: "Continuous integration server"
        tag: "CI"
        url: "#"
        target: '_blank' # optional html a tag target attribute
      - name: "RabbitMQ Management"
        logo: "/assets/tools/rabbitmq.png"
        subtitle: "Manage & monitor RabbitMQ server"
        tag: "haproxy"
        # Optional tagstyle
        tagstyle: "is-success"
        url: "#"
  - name: "Monitoring"
    icon: "fas fa-heartbeat"
    items:
      - name: "M/Monit"
        logo: "/assets/tools/monit.png"
        subtitle: "Monitor & manage all monit enabled hosts"
        tag: "monit"
        url: "#"
      - name: "Grafana"
        logo: "/assets/tools/grafana.png"
        subtitle: "Metric analytics & dashboards"
        url: "#"
      - name: "Kibana"
        logo: "/assets/tools/elastic.png"
        subtitle: "Explore & visualize logs"
        tag: "elk"
        url: "#"
      - name: "Website monitoring"
        logo: "/assets/tools/pingdom.png"
        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).

### Style Options

Homer uses [bulma CSS](https://bulma.io/), which provides a [modifiers syntax](https://bulma.io/documentation/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](https://bulma.io/documentation/modifiers/syntax/) for other options regarding size, style, or state.
