Dashboard: add link as "app"

[sjpb]

Is there any simple way to just add links as an "app" in the dashboard? Like the Jobs dropdown below I'd love to "just" add a new dropdown to the top bar, containing a couple of links.

Just drop a new app's manifest in the right location and you'll get the app. I pulled this manifest from how we deploy activejobs: https://github.com/OSC/ondemand/blob/34ca9c5db5877c3bd6a7bb8d8ced013e7fb30ca7/apps/activejobs/manifest.yml

/var/www/ood/apps/sys/<NEW APP>/manifest.yml

---
name: The New Link
category: Jobs
description: |-
  The new link you want to add
icon: fa://clock-o
url: 'https://github.com/osc/ondemand'
new_window: false

Oh, two more things. The category, here is Jobs meaning it'll create a new navbar dropdown menu.

See the docs here for how to control which app categories appear.

The second piece is that every 'app' here is a link. So create as many manifest.yml "apps" (they're not really apps, but OnDemand is treating them like one) as you need links.

Awesome, thank you! Now Grafana is reverse proxied by OOD, getting to it is really easy:
