I use homepage and pretty happy with it. “Drag and drop configuration, no yaml” actually put me off.
Same, homarr is decent but I prefer my configs, quick edits from whatever device is in hand, easy peasy.
I wish we would all start switching over to JSON for configuration files. It’s so much easier to parse, and you can’t screw it up with too many spaces or not enough.
No thanks. Yaml isn’t perfect but by God json is best used to return and parse data, not input it.
My biggest peeve with JSON when I’m forced to use it as a configuration format is that it doesn’t have any syntactical support for comments.
So I can’t even add any notes to the file.
Yep this for me too. Thankfully VSCode allows comments in its settings.json / launch.json files but most programs use strict JSON which doesn’t allow comments
No support for comments? Hard pass
Yeah, this is my biggest annoyance with JSON. As a data structure it’s very elegant, but it only really makes sense to people who know how to code, and without the ability to add comments you have to rely heavily on external documentation to make it readable to most users.
Instead you can screw it up by having too many commas or not enough. Hardly that much of an improvement.
I used to think that until I figured out yaml and now yaml isn’t so bad.
It helps that text editors know what yaml is now so insert spaces when you hit tab etc
Drag and drop isn’t for me either but it’s nice to have more beginners-friendly options in the self hosted community. Not everybody like to live in the terminal.
i prefer homepage https://github.com/gethomepage/homepage
you add a label in the docker compose and the dashboard follows.
If any of you can get the Pi-hole integration to work, let me know how you did it. There’s a github thread about it, but I haven’t heard any progress
It worked for a long time until an update pretty recently.
Nice to know it’s not just me battling with that
I have it working but I do remember struggling a bit with it, involved getting a password somewhere, can’t check rn
I might have adjusted the container to run with my local DNS, but all I’m doing for that service is:
- Pi-Hole- Hostname: icon: /icons/pihole.png href: https://my.internal.domain/admin server: Hostname widget: type: pihole url: https://my.internal.domain/ version: 6 # required if running v6 or higher, defaults to 5 # Application Password: key: "<< REDACTED >>"Replaced my Pi’s hostname, internal domain, keys, etc, but I have this running for two Pi-Holes on my network.
I’ll take a look when i get home tonight. I do have mine working.
I use a manually edited yaml home assistant page. Beat that on number of integrations.
