Supported apps list

You can find the list of supported apps (icons shipped with the application) here: https://github.com/eiladin/go-simple-startpage/tree/master/ui/src/assets/supportedapps

Building / Running

To run this app, simply clone the repo, enter the ui/ folder and run npm install

After the install is complete:

• start angular with ng serve in the ui folder.
• start the go api with go run main.go or air in the root folder
• Navigate to http://localhost:4200 in your browser.

Testing with go serving the angular app

In the ui/ folder run ng build --prod (this will build the front-end bundle)

Once, that is complete, in the root folder run go run main.go, air, or open the root folder in VS Code, open main.go and hit F5.

Debugging in a container (VS Code)

When opening the folder, a popup should prompt to "Re-open in container" if it does not, then from the F1 menu select "Remote-Containers: Re-open in container"

Open chrome with remote debugging:

google-chrome-stable --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir=/tmp/remote-profile

Run the compound launch config (API + NG + Attach)
