## Getting started

Homer is a full static html/js dashboard, based on a simple yaml configuration file. See [documentation](docs/configuration.md) for information about the configuration (`assets/config.yml`) options.

It's meant to be served by an HTTP server, **it will not work if you open the index.html directly over file:// protocol**.

### Using docker

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

The container will run using a user uid and gid 1000. Add `--user <your-UID>:<your-GID>` to the docker command to adjust it. Make sure this match the ownership of your assets directory.

**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`).

* **`PORT`** (default: `8080`)
If you would like to change internal port of Homer from default `8080` to your port choice.


#### With docker-compose

A [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml) file is available as an example. It must be edited to match your needs. You probably want to adjust the port mapping and volume binding (equivalent to `-p` and `-v` arguments).

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.
