honey

A sweet dashboard I use on my homeserver with some self-hosted stuff...

honey is written in pure HTML CSS JS so dynamic backend or special webserver configuration is not required. It works out-of-the-box as all operations are done client-side.

📺 Live demo

🚀 Installation

🕸️ On existing webserver

  1. Download latest prebuilt archive from Releases.

  2. Extract downloaded archive to your webserver root.

  3. You're done!

🐋 via Docker

docker run -p 4173:4173 -v /path/to/config:/app/dist/config ghcr.io/dani3l0/honey:latest
  • -p 4173:4173 - exposes HTTP port to your machine
  • -v /path/to/config:/app/dist/config - mounts config directory to your local filesystem, missing config files will be created automatically

If you have custom icons or background images, you can freely put them in config dir. Just remember to provide valid URLs (with /config prefix).

alternatively, use a docker-compose.yml file

⚙️ Configuration

Configuration file is located at config/config.json.

📱 Tweaking the user interface

The following keys are available under ui section. Some of them are listed in Settings page and can be customized by end-user.

Key name Description in Settings
name Name shown at the main screen and the tab title.
desc Short description shown under title at the main screen.
icon Icon shown at the main screen and as site's favicon.
wallpaper Background image visible when dark mode is disabled.
wallpaper_dark Background image visible when dark mode is enabled.
dark_mode Tells whether dark mode is enabled by default. (Available values: Auto,Off,On)
open_new_tab Tells whether clicking on a service will open it in new tab by default.
blur Tells whether card background blur is enabled by default.
animations Tells whether UI animations are enabled by default.

🔗 Adding custom services

services section is an array containing objects. Object's structure looks like this:

Key name Description
name Your service's name.
desc Short description shown under service's name.
href URL address of your service. It is directly passed to <a> tag.
icon Path to an icon of your service.

Example:

...
{
	"name": "CalDav",
	"desc": "Simple CalDav server for calendar sync between various devices.",
	"href": "caldav",
	"icon": "img/preview/caldav.png"
},
...

🛠️ Development

honey is built on top of Vite.js. This tool allows faster development and offers various optimizations.

How to prepare a development environment:

# Download the source code
git clone https://github.com/dani3l0/honey && cd honey

# Install required modules
npm i

🗼 Live server

For coding. This will spin up a HTTP server on localhost:5173. Each time source file is saved, UI will automatically hot-reload so there is no need for ALT+TAB and F5.

npm run dev

🏗️ Build

Prepare project for production. This command will link and optimize project assets to take less space and require less bandwith. Prebuilt assets will be stored in dist directory and are ready to be put in a webserver root.

npm run build
