Ability to categories to "Applications"

[Nelinski]

The ability to add different categories for "Applications" similar to how you can do with "Bookmarks".

The ability to add icons for "Bookmarks" would be nice too.

Hi. The ability to categorize applications most likely won't be implemented since it's against my idea of how this "App Hub" should work. I wanted to keep it clean and simple as it is in the SUI.

As for the icons. Are you talking about adding them to categories or to single bookmakrs/links?

Implementation proposal:

[Nelinski]

I was thinking single icons as per your proposal. My thought process behind the "Application" categories was to bring it more inline with the "Bookmarks" to keep a cleaner UI if you've got a lot of "Applications". Either way, nice work 👍🏻

@Nelinski If you want categories for applications, I have forked this repository and added that feature, along with some extras, such as being able to sort bookmarks like apps. It is available here : https://github.com/fdarveau/flame.
There might still be some issues I have not found since there were some major changes involved, as @pawelmalak mentioned.

I have also set up automatic docker images via GitHub Actions. You can use the container ghcr.io/fdarveau/flame:latest

@pawelmalak : If you are interested, I could open a PR. It might have way too many changes though since I have auto-formatting turned on and it seems to have some issues with react apps or my settings.

In any case, I have also setup a GitHub Action to try to keep my fork updated regularly (once a week). If the merge fails, I get notified so I can merge manually.

@fdarveau Works great, thanks!

@fdarveau I'm having an issue getting it to work properly.

I just changed out the image with yours ghcr.io/fdarveau/flame:latest, and added - flame.category=My category to the docker labels.

I'm currently testing on a docker-compose with three containers. I'm trying with - flame.category=Downloads, but still get the Docker default category. I did try with a completely new Flame config too.

Excerpt from my docker-compose.yml:

      - flame.type=application # "app" works too
      - flame.name=Radarr
      - flame.url=https://radarr.${TRAEFIK_BASE_DNS}
      - flame.category=download
      - flame.icon=file-download-outline  # Optional, default is "docker"
      - flame.order=1 # Optional, default is 500; lower number is first in the list      

But still get the default category:
