|
||
## Quick Start
|
||
|
||
### 1. Deploy with Docker Compose
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
docker-compose up -d
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The homepage will be available at `http://localhost:8088`
|
||
|
||
### 2. Configure Your Services
|
||
|
||
Edit `services.xml` to add your services organized into groups:
|
||
|
||
```xml
|
||
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
|
||
<services>
|
||
<group name="Management">
|
||
<service
|
||
name="Portainer"
|
||
proto="https"
|
||
port="9443"
|
||
logo="portainer.svg"
|
||
/>
|
||
</group>
|
||
|
||
<group name="Media">
|
||
<service
|
||
name="Jellyfin"
|
||
proto="http"
|
||
port="8096"
|
||
host="jellyfin.example.com"
|
||
logo="jellyfin.svg"
|
||
/>
|
||
</group>
|
||
</services>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or use services without groups (they'll appear in a single grid):
|
||
|
||
```xml
|
||
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
|
||
<services>
|
||
<service name="Portainer" proto="https" port="9443" logo="portainer.svg" />
|
||
<service name="Jellyfin" proto="http" port="8096" logo="jellyfin.svg" />
|
||
</services>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 3. Restart to Apply Changes
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
docker-compose restart
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Configuration Guide
|
||
|
||
### Service Attributes
|
||
|
||
| Attribute | Required | Description | Example |
|
||
|-----------|----------|-------------|---------|
|
||
| `name` | Yes | Display name for the service | `"Nextcloud"` |
|
||
| `proto` | No | Protocol (http/https) | `"https"` (default: `"http"`) |
|
||
| `port` | No | Port number | `"8080"` |
|
||
| `host` | No | Custom hostname or full URL | `"nextcloud.example.com"` |
|
||
| `logo` | No | Icon filename in `/logos/` | `"nextcloud.svg"` |
|
||
| `status` | No | Set to `"maintenance"` to skip health check | `"maintenance"` |
|
||
| `check-health` | No | Enable/disable auto health check | `"true"` (default) or `"false"` |
|
||
|
||
### URL Resolution Logic
|
||
|
||
The service URL is built using this priority:
|
||
|
||
1. **Full URL** - If `host` starts with `http://` or `https://`, use as-is
|
||
2. **Hostname with Port** - If `host` contains `:port`, use `proto://host:port`
|
||
3. **Hostname Only** - If `host` is set (no port), use `https://host` (ignores `proto` and `port`)
|
||
4. **Fallback** - Use current page hostname with specified `proto` and `port`
|
||
|
||
### Examples
|
||
|
||
```xml
|
||
<!-- Full URL (ignores proto and port) -->
|
||
<service name="Example" host="https://example.com/app" />
|
||
|
||
<!-- Public domain (defaults to HTTPS) -->
|
||
<service name="Nextcloud" host="cloud.example.com" logo="nextcloud.svg" />
|
||
|
||
<!-- Custom port on domain -->
|
||
<service name="Jellyfin" host="media.example.com:8096" proto="http" logo="jellyfin.svg" />
|
||
|
||
<!-- Local service (uses page hostname) -->
|
||
<service name="Portainer" proto="https" port="9443" logo="portainer.svg" />
|
||
|
||
<!-- Service with status indicator -->
|
||
<service name="Home Assistant" proto="http" port="8123" logo="homeassistant.svg" status="online" />
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Keyboard Shortcuts
|
||
|
||
- **`/`** - Focus the search bar (press from anywhere)
|
||
- **Arrow Keys** - Navigate between service cards (Up/Down/Left/Right)
|
||
- **Enter** - Open the selected service in a new tab
|
||
- **Esc** - Clear the current selection
|
||
|
||
## Info Button
|
||
|
||
When a service has both a hostname and port configured, a small info button (ⓘ) appears in the bottom-right corner of the card. Click it to view connection details including:
|
||
- Service name
|
||
- Hostname
|
||
- Port number
|
||
- Protocol
|
||
|
||
## Status Indicators
|
||
|
||
Services are automatically checked for availability when the page loads. Status indicators appear in the top-right corner of each card:
|
||
|
||
```xml
|
||
<!-- Automatic health check (default behavior) -->
|
||
<service name="Jellyfin" proto="http" port="8096" logo="jellyfin.svg" />
|
||
|
||
<!-- Manual maintenance mode (skips health check) -->
|
||
<service name="Nextcloud" status="maintenance" host="cloud.example.com" logo="nextcloud.svg" />
|
||
|
||
<!-- Disable health check for a service -->
|
||
<service name="Legacy App" check-health="false" proto="http" port="8080" logo="app.svg" />
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Status colors:
|
||
|
||
- **Gray spinning** (checking) - Currently testing service availability
|
||
- **Green pulsing** (online) - Service responded successfully to health check
|
||
- **Red** (offline) - Service failed to respond or timed out (5 seconds)
|
||
- **Orange** (maintenance) - Manual maintenance mode, health check skipped
|
||
|
||
### How Health Checks Work
|
||
|
||
- Each service is automatically pinged when the page loads
|
||
- Uses a 5-second timeout per service
|
||
- Checks run in parallel for all services
|
||
- Services marked `status="maintenance"` skip the health check
|
||
- Set `check-health="false"` to disable checking for specific services
|
||
- No server-side component needed - runs entirely in the browser
|
||
|
||
## Service Groups
|
||
|
||
Organize your services into categorized sections for better organization:
|
||
|
||
```xml
|
||
<services>
|
||
<group name="Management">
|
||
<service name="Portainer" proto="https" port="9443" logo="portainer.svg" />
|
||
<service name="Uptime Kuma" proto="http" port="3001" logo="uptime-kuma.svg" />
|
||
</group>
|
||
|
||
<group name="Media">
|
||
<service name="Jellyfin" proto="http" port="8096" logo="jellyfin.svg" />
|
||
<service name="Transmission" proto="http" port="9091" logo="transmission.svg" />
|
||
</group>
|
||
|
||
<group name="Storage">
|
||
<service name="Nextcloud" host="cloud.example.com" logo="nextcloud.svg" />
|
||
<service name="FileBrowser" proto="http" port="8986" logo="filebrowser.svg" />
|
||
</group>
|
||
</services>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Group Features
|
||
|
||
- **Categorization**: Group related services together (Media, Management, Development, etc.)
|
||
- **Visual Separation**: Each group has a styled header with an accent underline
|
||
- **Smart Search**: Searching filters services and hides empty groups automatically
|
||
- **Backward Compatible**: Services without groups still work (displayed in a single grid)
|
||
- **Flexible**: Use as many or as few groups as needed
|
||
|
||
### Group Tips
|
||
|
||
- Use clear, descriptive group names (e.g., "Media Services" instead of "Group 1")
|
||
- Keep related services together for easier navigation
|
||
- Groups appear in the order defined in the XML
|
||
- Empty groups (no services) are automatically hidden
|
||
|
||
## Icon Management
|
||
|
||
### Using Included Icons
|
||
|
||
The repository includes Simple Icons (3000+ brand logos). Available icons are in:
|
||
```
|
||
logos/simple-icons/icons/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Adding Custom Icons
|
||
|
||
1. Add your SVG file to the `logos/` directory
|
||
2. Reference it in `services.xml`:
|
||
```xml
|
||
<service name="MyApp" logo="myapp.svg" />
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Icon Styling
|
||
|
||
All icons are automatically styled white using CSS filters. To customize:
|
||
|
||
Edit `styles.css` and modify the `.card .logo` rule:
|
||
```css
|
||
.card .logo {
|
||
filter: brightness(0) invert(1); /* White icons */
|
||
/* OR */
|
||
filter: hue-rotate(180deg); /* Color shift */
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Customization
|
||
|
||
### Theme Colors
|
||
|
||
Edit CSS variables in `styles.css`:
|
||
|
||
```css
|
||
:root {
|
||
--bg: #0f1720; /* Background color */
|
||
--card: #0b1220; /* Card background */
|
||
--accent: #4f46e5; /* Accent color (purple) */
|
||
--muted: #94a3b8; /* Muted text */
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Holographic Effects
|
||
|
||
The holographic button effects include:
|
||
- **Shimmer Animation** - Continuous light sweep (8s loop, 3s on hover)
|
||
- **Gradient Background** - Purple/pink gradient blend
|
||
- **Glowing Border** - Animated gradient border on hover
|
||
- **Backdrop Blur** - Glass-like frosted effect
|
||
|
||
To adjust shimmer speed, modify the `@keyframes shimmer` animation:
|
||
```css
|
||
.card::before {
|
||
animation: shimmer 8s infinite linear; /* Change 8s to adjust speed */
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Layout
|
||
|
||
Change grid responsiveness in `styles.css`:
|
||
```css
|
||
.grid {
|
||
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(180px, 1fr));
|
||
/* Adjust minmax() to change card width */
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

## Updating Icons
|
||
|
||
### Replace All Icons with Simple Icons
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd logos
|
||
for f in *.svg; do
|
||
basename=$(basename "$f" .svg)
|
||
match=$(find simple-icons/icons -type f -iname "*${basename}*.svg" -print -quit)
|
||
[ -n "$match" ] && cp "$match" "$f" && echo "Updated: $f"
|
||
done
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Find Available Icons
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
ls logos/simple-icons/icons/ | grep -i "keyword"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Backup and Recovery
|
||
|
||
Icon backups are automatically created in:
|
||
```
|
||
logos/backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To restore from backup:
|
||
```bash
|
||
cp logos/backup-20251123-231406/*.svg logos/
|
||
docker-compose restart
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Troubleshooting
|
||
|
||
### Cloudflare, HTTPS and Mixed Content
|
||
|
||
If you're serving the homepage over HTTPS (for example, via Cloudflare), your browser will block active (programmatic) HTTP requests to local IPs — this is "mixed content". That can cause the health checks for local services to fail or to be marked offline.
|
||
|
||
Recommendations:
|
||
- Enable HTTPS for your local services (e.g., configure TLS or use a reverse proxy with a valid certificate) and/or use Cloudflare Tunnel to serve the service with a domain and TLS.
|
||
- Or configure a server-side proxy that performs health checks and serves the results over HTTPS (for example, add a proxy endpoint in your nginx config and proxy_pass to the local IP/port); the browser will then make a same-origin secure request to the proxy rather than directly to the IP.
|
||
- In `services.xml`, use the `tailscale-ip` attribute to supply an easily-editable Tailscale IP for local services that should be used for links and health checks.
|
||
- In `services.xml`, use the `tailscale-ip` attribute to supply an easily-editable Tailscale IP for local services that should be used for links and health checks.
|
||
|
||
Per-service `local-ip` override:
|
||
- If a specific service has a `local-ip` attribute (for example, `local-ip="192.168.2.180"`), the server-side health proxy will use that local IP for the health check. This allows per-service control when the internal IP differs from the household-wide Tailscale IP or when services are bound to different hosts.
|
||
|
||
Cloudflare Insights & CORS:
|
||
- If you see console errors about `static.cloudflareinsights.com` or messages like "CORS request did not succeed" or "integrity mismatch", this is likely a script injected by Cloudflare. This is not part of the homepage codebase and is injected by Cloudflare's edge. You can disable Cloudflare Analytics/Insights or adjust settings in the Cloudflare dashboard to remove or avoid that script if it's causing issues with CSP or integrity.
|
||
|
||
### Services Not Loading
|
||
|
||
1. Check `services.xml` syntax:
|
||
```bash
|
||
xmllint --noout services.xml
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. Check browser console for errors (F12)
|
||
|
||
3. Verify file permissions:
|
||
```bash
|
||
chmod 644 services.xml index.html styles.css
|
||
chmod 755 logos/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Icons Not Displaying
|
||
|
||
1. Verify icon exists:
|
||
```bash
|
||
ls -lh logos/youricon.svg
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. Check icon reference in `services.xml` matches filename exactly
|
||
|
||
3. Clear browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+R)
|
||
|
||
### Container Issues
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# View logs
|
||
docker logs services-homepage
|
||
|
||
# Restart container
|
||
docker-compose restart
|
||
|
||
# Rebuild if files changed
|
||
docker-compose up -d --force-recreate
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Performance
|
||
|
||
- **Image Size**: ~45MB (nginx:alpine base)
|
||
- **Memory Usage**: ~5-10MB
|
||
- **Load Time**: <100ms (local network)
|
||
- **Icons**: Cached by browser after first load
|
||
|
||
## Browser Support
|
||
|
||
- ✅ Chrome/Edge 90+
|
||
- ✅ Firefox 88+
|
||
- ✅ Safari 14+
|
||
- ✅ Mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Chrome Android)

|
||
- CORS not enabled (same-origin only)
|
||
|
||
## Advanced Usage
|
||
|
||
### Custom Nginx Config
|
||
|
||
Create `nginx.conf` and mount it:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
volumes:
|
||
- ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Adding Authentication
|
||
|
||
Use a reverse proxy (Nginx Proxy Manager, Caddy, Traefik) with basic auth:
|
||
|
||
```nginx
|
||
location / {
|
||
auth_basic "Services";
|
||
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
|
||
proxy_pass http://services-homepage:80;
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Dynamic Port Updates
|
||
|
||
For services with dynamic ports (e.g., Transmission behind VPN), use environment variables:
|
||
|
||
```xml
|
||
<service name="Transmission" proto="http" port="${TRANS_PORT}" logo="transmission.svg" />
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then update via script or use a template processor.
