Glance Dashboard

Personal Glance dashboard config.

Automatic updates

The webhook service in webhook pulls this checkout when Tangled sends a signed push event for main. Glance watches its config and included files, so it reloads them without a container restart.

1. Ensure /var/lib/glance is a Git checkout whose current branch tracks the desired Tangled remote and that UID 1000 can write to it.

2. Add the contents of webhook/compose.yml to the Compose project containing Glance.

3. Generate a secret with openssl rand -hex 32 and set the result as GLANCE_WEBHOOK_SECRET in the Compose environment.

4. Build the updater on the host, then start it:

   podman build -t localhost/glance-updater:latest /var/lib/glance/webhook
   podman compose up -d updater

5. In Tangled, open Settings > Hooks and create an active push webhook:

   • Payload URL: https://<your-glance-domain>/hooks/glance
   • Secret: the same value as GLANCE_WEBHOOK_SECRET

The Glance route can keep its Authentik middleware. The more-specific webhook route intentionally has no Authentik middleware because Tangled authenticates with its HMAC signature instead.

The updater fetches origin/main and resets the checkout to that commit. This overwrites tracked local changes and divergent local commits, but preserves untracked files. For a private repository, also mount read-only Git credentials into updater; a public HTTPS remote needs no credentials.
