# 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

- [ ] Add more themes.
- [ ] Add support for custom service card (add custom feature to some service / app link)
- [x] Colors / theme customization
- [x] Enable PWA support (making possible to "install" - add to homescreen - it)
- [x] Improve maintainability (external library import & service workers cached file list.)

## Usage

### Using docker

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

### Manually

Homer is a static page that need to be generated from the source in this repository.
Use the folowing command to build the project:

```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.
The `dist` directory is meant to be served by an HTTP server, so **it will not work if you open dist/index.html directly over file:// protocol**.

Use it like any static HTML content (use a webserver or open the html index directly).

## Developement

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

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

### Themes

Themes are meant to be simple customization (written in [scss](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax)).
To addd 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.

```scss
// `src/assets/themes/my-awesome-theme.scss`
body #app.theme-my-awesome-theme. { ... }
```

```scss
// `src/assets/app.scss`
// Themes import
@import "./themes/sui.scss";
...
@import "./themes/my-awesome-theme.scss";
```

## Configuration

Title, icons, links, colors, and services can be configured in the `config.yml` file (located in project root directory once built, or in the `public/` directory in developement mode), 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).

### 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.
