Custom Services

Some service can use a specific a component that provides some extra features by adding a type key to the service yaml configuration and, where applicable, an apikey. Note that config.yml is exposed at /assets/config.yml via HTTP and any apikey included in the configuration file is exposed to anyone who can access the homer instance. Only include an apikey if your homer instance is secured behind some form of authentication or access restriction.

Available services are in src/components/. Here is an overview of all custom services that are available within Homer:

  url: "http://192.168.0.151" # Your rTorrent web UI, f.e. ruTorrent or Flood.
  xmlrpc: "http://192.168.0.151:8081" # Reverse proxy for rTorrent's XML-RPC.
  type: "Rtorrent"
  rateInterval: 5000 # Interval for updating the download and upload rates.
  torrentInterval: 60000 # Interval for updating the torrent count.
  username: "username" # Username for logging into rTorrent (if applicable).
  password: "password" # Password for logging into rTorrent (if applicable).

Proxmox

This service displays status information of a Proxmox node (VMs running and disk, memory and cpu used). It uses the proxmox API and API Tokens for authorization so you need to generate one to set in the yaml config. You can set it up in Proxmox under Permissions > API Tokens. You also need to know the realm the user of the API Token is assigned to (by default pam).

The API Token (or the user asigned to that token if not separated permissions is checked) are this:

Path	Permission	Comments
/nodes/	Sys.Audit
/vms/	VM.Audit	You need to have this permission on any VM you want to be counted

It is highly recommended that you create and API Token with only these permissions on a read-only mode.

If you get errors, they will be shown on browser's dev console. Main issues tend to be CORS related as Proxmox does not include CORS headers and you have to deploy it behind a reverse proxy and make the proxy add this headers.

Configuration example:

- name: "Proxmox - Node"
  logo: "https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FandOTP%2FandOTP%2Fissues%2F337&psig=AOvVaw2YKVuEUIBeTUikr7kAjm8D&ust=1665323538747000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAkQjRxqFwoTCPCTruLj0PoCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAN"
  type: "Proxmox"
  url: "https://your.proxmox.server"
  node: "your-node-name"
  warning_value: 50
  danger_value: 80
  api_token: "PVEAPIToken=root@pam!your-api-token-name=your-api-token-key"
  # values below this line are optional (default value are false/empty):
  hide_decimals: true # removes decimals from stats values.
  hide: [] # hides information. Possible values are "vms", "vms_total", "lxcs", "lxcs_total", "disk", "mem" and "cpu".
  small_font_on_small_screens: true # uses small font on small screens (like mobile)
  small_font_on_desktop: true # uses small font on desktops (just in case you're showing much info)

qBittorrent

This service displays the global upload and download rates, as well as the number of torrents listed.

- name: "qBittorrent"
  logo: "assets/tools/sample.png"
  url: "http://192.168.1.2:8080" # Your rTorrent web UI, f.e. ruTorrent or Flood.
