    I use homepage and pretty happy with it. “Drag and drop configuration, no yaml” actually put me off.

      Same, homarr is decent but I prefer my configs, quick edits from whatever device is in hand, easy peasy.

      I wish we would all start switching over to JSON for configuration files. It’s so much easier to parse, and you can’t screw it up with too many spaces or not enough.

          My biggest peeve with JSON when I’m forced to use it as a configuration file format is that it doesn’t have any syntactical support for comments.

          So I can’t even add any notes to the file.

            Yep this for me too. Thankfully VSCode allows comments in its settings.json / launch.json files but most programs use strict JSON which doesn’t allow comments

          • vinnymac@lemmy.worldEnglish

            Yea, this is a deal breaker imo. My code tends to be 10 to 1 comments to lines of code ratio. Configuration even more so.

            jsonc/json5 exists for this use case, but few tools actually use it, yaml is far more popular

        • Voroxpete@sh.itjust.worksEnglish

          Yeah, this is my biggest annoyance with JSON. As a data structure it’s very elegant, but it only really makes sense to people who know how to code, and without the ability to add comments you have to rely heavily on external documentation to make it readable to most users.

            And like yeah, both the wonderful (and foss!) .json5 and Microsoft’s semi-proprietary(?) .jsonc exist, but most projects just use their language’s default JSON parser that doesn’t recognize them. What I would personally love to see is .json5 support baked into the default JSON parsing libraries of Python, Go, etc. (Enabled by a flag, likely.) It’s a superset of regular JSON and fully ES2019 compatible, so there shouldn’t be any issues.

        I used to think that until I figured out yaml and now yaml isn’t so bad.

        It helps that text editors know what yaml is now so insert spaces when you hit tab etc

        • tuhriel@infosec.pubEnglish

          My biggest gripe with yaml (especially in docker-compose files) is that l, for me at least, it is absolutely not clear when I need to add dahes (-) in front of multiple entries and when it’s just linebreaks.
          And there are no easy accessible docker-compose validators…

          • moonpiedumplings@programming.devEnglish
            10 months

            Try the yaml language server by red hat, it comes with a docker compose validator.

            But in general, off the top of my head, dashes = list. No dashes is a dictionary.

            So this is a list:

            thing:
    - 1
    - 2

            And this is a dictionary:

            dict:
    key1: value1
    key2: value2

            And then when they can be combined into a list of dictionaries.

            listofdicts:
    - key1dict1: value1dict1
    - key1dict2: value1dict2
      key2dict2: value2dict2

            And then abother thing to note is that yaml wilL convert things into a string. So if you have ports 8080:80, this will be converted into a string, which is a clue that this is a string in a list, rather than a dictionary.

        Instead you can screw it up by having too many commas or not enough. Hardly that much of an improvement.

      • FooBarrington@lemmy.worldEnglish
        10 months

        It’s IMO also so much clearer regarding data types. You can’t accidentally write a boolean when you want a string.

      • FrederikNJS@lemmy.zipEnglish

        Why not just write your YAML files in JSON syntax?

        JSON is a valid subset of YAML

      Drag and drop isn’t for me either but it’s nice to have more beginners-friendly options in the self hosted community. Not everybody like to live in the terminal.

    • Burn1ngBull3t@lemmy.worldEnglish
      10 months

      Yeah i was wondering how you actually use versioning with that drag and drop. Homepage seems better for that IMO

    If any of you can get the Pi-hole integration to work, let me know how you did it. There’s a github thread about it, but I haven’t heard any progress

    It worked for a long time until an update pretty recently.

    • Sean@infosec.pubEnglish

      I might have adjusted the container to run with my local DNS, but all I’m doing for that service is:

         - Pi-Hole- Hostname:
       icon: /icons/pihole.png
       href: https://my.internal.domain/admin
       server: Hostname
       widget:
          type: pihole
          url: https://my.internal.domain/
          version: 6 # required if running v6 or higher, defaults to 5
          # Application Password:
          key: "<< REDACTED >>"

      Replaced my Pi’s hostname, internal domain, keys, etc, but I have this running for two Pi-Holes on my network.

      I have it working but I do remember struggling a bit with it, involved getting a password somewhere, can’t check rn

    • Sean@infosec.pubEnglish

      I’ll take a look when i get home tonight. I do have mine working.

    I use it and my biggest issue is the ram usage, it’s like 500mb for a dashboard, the other ones I tried were much lighter

  • gedaliyah@lemmy.worldEnglish

    This is a great platform, especially if you are just beginning in self-hosting. I don’t use it on my deployment “version 2.0” because I found it unnecessary once learning a little more about docker, etc. While I was using it, I loved it, and would definitely recommend it!

  • flightyhobler@lemmy.worldEnglish

    I use a manually edited yaml home assistant page. Beat that on number of integrations.

    • asbestos@lemmy.worldEnglish

      You’re mostly adding dozens of hyperlinks, like your own homapage, but some of them (30) can provide direct info from said integration, so a button for your Torrent Client also has the current download speed for example
