# Custom Services

Some service can use a specific a component that provides some extra features by adding a `type` key to the service yaml
configuration. Available services are in `src/components/`. Here is an overview of all custom services that are available
within Homer.

If you experiencing any issue, please have a look to the [troubleshooting](troubleshooting.md) page.


## Common options

```yaml
- name: "My Service"
  logo: "assets/tools/sample.png"
  url: "http://my-service-link"
  endpoint: "http://my-service-endpoint" # Optional: alternative base URL used to fetch service data is necessary.
  useCredentials: false # Optional: Override global proxy.useCredentials configuration.
  type: "<type>"
```

⚠️🚧 `endpoint` & `useCredentials` new options are not yet supported by all custom services (but will be very soon).
