dashh

yet another dashboard for organizing your links.

• easy to configure (1 yaml file required, see example)
• incredibly light frontend (no javascript, just plain html+css)
  • uses css3's flexbox "masonry" layout
  • mobile friendly
• server written in go

from source

1. make sure you have go 1.16 or newer
2. clone this repo and cd into it in a terminal
3. go mod download && go build
4. ./dashh -p 8080 /path/to/your/dashboard.yml
   (see dashh -h for all options)

systemd

1. compile/download and move the binary to /usr/local/bin/dashh
2. put your configuration in /etc/dashh.yml
3. (optional) make a dir called /var/lib/dashh/ to store your static assets
4. create a user and group called dashh and make sure it owns and/or has the right permissions for the paths you created
5. put the following in /etc/systemd/system/dashh.service:

6. sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl enable --now dashh

Docker

to do...

NixOS (flake)

add this to flake.nix:

{
  inputs = {
    dashh.url = "git+https://git.cyberia.club/reese/dashh";
  };
  outputs = { self, ... }@inputs: with inputs; rec {
    nixosConfigurations = {
      hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem rec {
        specialArgs = { inherit inputs self; };
        system = "x86_64-linux";
        modules = [
          ./configuration.nix
          dashh.nixosModules.dashh
        ];
      };
    };
  };
}

example configuration.nix

{
  services.dashh = {
    enable = true;
    
    theme = [
      "#ede4e7"
      "#261f22"
      "#f34396"
    ];
    
    css = ''
      .subtitle {
        font-style: oblique;
      }
    '';

    sections = {
      Admin = {
        apps = {
          Router = {
            subtitle = "pfSense";
            href = "https://192.168.0.1";
            icon = "pfsense.png";
          };
          "Wifi APs" = {
            icon = "openwrt.png";
            nodes = [
              { name = "Downstairs";
                href = "http://192.168.0.2"; }
              { name = "Upstairs";
                href = "http://192.168.0.3"; }
            ];
          };
        };
      };
    };
  };
}

see flake.nix for all options.

be aware that your entries will be sorted alphabetically. this is something Nix does and I don't think there's an easy way to override it.

usage

      --cache-age float    How long to cache icons for (in hours) (default 12)
  -c, --cache-dir string   Directory for storing cached icons
  -p, --port int           HTTP server port (default 8327)
  -s, --static string      Path to your static files
  <config>                 Your dashboard configuration file (Required)

config yaml structure

port: int (default 8327)

theme: list of hexadecimal color codes - see Config.go for defaults

• foreground - used as background in light theme
• background - used as foreground in light theme
• accent/highlight

autoTheme: bool (default true) - switch foreground and background colors when prefers-color-scheme: dark

columnSize: pixels (default 400)

radius: float64 - scale the border radius by this many ems (default 1.5)

css: string - extra styles to add in case you don't feel like replacing the template outright

entries:

• title: string
  apps:
  • name: string
    href: URL
    icon: see the following heading
    nodes: list of entries - nesting of nodes isn't supported by the default template
    • name: string
      href: URL bookmarks:
  • name: string
    href: URL

icon specification

an entry's icon: can be one of a number of different types of strings. dashh will try to resolve it in this order:

• if it starts with http, then it will use that URL as the icon.
• if it starts with /, then it will resolve to one of your static files.
• if it starts with mdi-, then it will use the icon provided by material-design-icons.
• otherwise, it will fall back to an icon provided by dashboard-icons.
