Most service widgets do not have any kind of auto-refresh, they only refresh on page load ( |

In the spirit of clarity and to help future contributors, it's important to understand why most service widgets in our project are designed without an auto-refresh feature. This is a thoughtful choice, considering the overall system health and user experience. Many users might not realize the impact of frequent requests on system resources. Imagine if every service widget refreshed every second - it could unintentionally overload the system, almost like a mini denial-of-service attack on your own setup! So, unless a widget genuinely needs rapid refreshes to function effectively, we opt for a more system-friendly approach: Widgets load initially and then refresh only when you return to them after navigating away. This balance helps maintain system stability and ensures a smoother user experience. |

Thank you Ben for the clarification and for developing this great project! I have tried several other dashboards but find Homepage to be the perfect application for me. In my use case I use Proxmox VE, Proxmox Backup, Pi-hole and UptimeKuma widgets among others and would find it helpful to have these widgets refresh every few minutes to keep me aware of their status etc. I did not realize that they "refresh only when you return to them after navigating away". So in reality I guess the "auto refresh" is not really needed. Out of curiosity, why does the refresh interval work in an iframe or what is the purpose of that? A little extra help if your time permits, can you or another comment on my post #2314? It has me frustrated and it the only part of my setup not working at this point. Thank you again! |

I have added the "refreshInterval" e.g. refreshInterval: 300000 to all of my service widgets but it only works on one - the iframe widget. I have checked and recehcked spelling etc. Any ideas?
Many thanks...
