Appriciation post - envlinks: ultraminimalist homepage / dashboard

I've seen a lot of posts for a lot of different homepage for selfhosters: homepage, homer, homarr (which has an 700 MB image!).

I was after something lightweight, simple and easy to configure and get up and running without all the frills and flashy features. And I found a hidden geml in envlinks - a really simple dashboard that is supersimple to configure (just env-variables in the compose file) and still customisable enough for my needs.

Hope it will satisfy the need of other minimalists out there :-)

So much server-side code :/ I wrote my own in pure HTML/CSS which gets rebuilt by ansible depending on services installed on the host. Basic YAML config for custom links/title/message.

Next "big" change would be a dark theme, but I get by with Dark Reader which I need for other sites anyway. I think it looks ok

krash OP ,

This looks really slick! I don't use ansible though, can I still benefit from running it?

Edit: just realized that your project has a larger scope than this, but still awesome to see how you solved the homepage feature.

You can probably use it by templating out https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/blob/master/roles/homepage/templates/index.html.j2 manually or using jinja2. basically remove the {% ...%} markers and replace {{ ... }} blocks with your own text/links.

You will need a copy of the res directory alongside index.html (images, stylesheet).

You can duplicate col-1-3 mobile-col-1-1 and col-1-6 mobile-col-1-2 and divs as many times as you like and they will arrange themselves on the page, responsively.

But yeah this is actually made with ansible/integration with my roles in mind.

Lovely dashboard, like that it is so easy to use.
But, am I missing something with just having a folder with links to my services? It is searchable, portable (Firefox profiles), and easy to modify.

Images of Bookmarks don't "look cool" to other nerds on the internet.

krash OP ,

A folder with links in your firefox profile works wonders for a single user case, but if you have other people using your applications (and they change from time to time), then a dashboard like this can be quite useful.

I have tried numerous dashboards but that I use Tailscale on my devices, I just use golink https://github.com/tailscale/golink

I'm not really sure what this does that necessitates all of this code and backend? I just have a single HTML file with embedded CSS, and it looks better than their demo.

Presumably auto detects your containers? Otherwise yeah, I don't see the advantage.

I used to have a bookmark html and some CSS but nowadays I just use the proxy list in NPM — if you click on a domain it opens in a new tab.
