## Getting started

Homer is a full static html/js dashboard, generated from the source in `/src` using webpack. It's meant to be served by an HTTP server, **it will not work if you open dist/index.html directly over file:// protocol**.

See [documentation](docs/configuration.md) for information about the configuration (`assets/config.yml`) options.

### Using docker

```sh
docker run -d \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v </your/local/assets/>:/www/assets \
  --restart=always \
  b4bz/homer:latest
```

Environment 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`).


### Using docker-compose

The `docker-compose.yml` file must be edited to match your needs.
You probably want to set the port mapping and volume binding (equivalent to `-p` and `-v` arguments):

```yaml
volumes:
  - /your/local/assets/:/www/assets
ports:
  - 8080:8080
```

Then launch the container:

```sh
cd /path/to/docker-compose.yml/
docker-compose up -d
```

### Using the release tarball (prebuilt, ready to use)

Download and extract the latest release (`homer.zip`) from the [release page](https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer/releases), rename the `assets/config.yml.dist` file to `assets/config.yml`, and put it behind a web server.

```sh
wget https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer/releases/latest/download/homer.zip
unzip homer.zip
cd homer
cp assets/config.yml.dist assets/config.yml
npx serve # or python -m http.server 8010 or apache, nginx ...
```

### Build manually

```sh
# Using yarn (recommended)
yarn install
yarn build

# **OR** Using npm
npm install
npm run build
```

Then your dashboard is ready to use in the `/dist` directory.
