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.
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
No thanks. Yaml isn’t perfect but by God json is best used to return and parse data, not input it.
Instead you can screw it up by having too many commas or not enough. Hardly that much of an improvement.
No support for comments? Hard pass
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.
It’s IMO also so much clearer regarding data types. You can’t accidentally write a boolean when you want a string.
Yeah i was wondering how you actually use versioning with that drag and drop. Homepage seems better for that IMO
I use a manually edited yaml home assistant page. Beat that on number of integrations.
Was going to say, isn’t this just an *Arr-flavored Home Assistant page?
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
Nice to know it’s not just me battling with that
I’ll take a look when i get home tonight. I do have mine working.
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!
30+ integrations seems like a really small number.
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
