And point your browser to http://localhost:8080/.

Configuration

Custom dashing port

If you want dashing to use a custom port inside the container, e g 8080, use the environment variable $PORT:

docker run -d -e PORT=8080 -p 80:8080 frvi/dashing

Dashboards

To provide a custom dashboard, use container volume /dashboards:

docker run -v=/my/custom/dashboards:/dashboards -d -p 8080:3030 frvi/dashing

(Don't forget to also provide the layout.erb)

Jobs

To provide custom jobs, use container volume /jobs:

docker run -v=/my/cool/job:/jobs -d -p 8080:3030 frvi/dashing

Widgets

To install custom widgets supply the gist IDs of the widgets as an environment variable:

docker run -d -e WIDGETS=5641535 -p 8080:3030 frvi/dashing

This example will install the Random Aww widget before starting dashing. Multiple widgets can be supplied.
