## Installation
Choose one of the following methods:
Docker compose using provided directory structure (recommended)
Create a new directory called `glance` as well as the template files within it by running:
```bash
mkdir glance && cd glance && curl -sL https://github.com/glanceapp/docker-compose-template/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz | tar -xzf - --strip-components 2
```
*[click here to view the files that will be created](https://github.com/glanceapp/docker-compose-template/tree/main/root)*
Then, edit the following files as desired:
* `docker-compose.yml` to configure the port, volumes and other containery things
* `config/home.yml` to configure the widgets or layout of the home page
* `config/glance.yml` if you want to change the theme or add more pages
Other files you may want to edit
* `.env` to configure environment variables that will be available inside configuration files
* `assets/user.css` to add custom CSS
When ready, run:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
If you encounter any issues, you can check the logs by running:
```bash
docker compose logs
```
Docker compose manual
Create a `docker-compose.yml` file with the following contents:
```yaml
services:
glance:
container_name: glance
image: glanceapp/glance
volumes:
- ./config:/app/config
ports:
- 8080:8080
```
Then, create a new directory called `config` and download the example starting [`glance.yml`](https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/blob/main/docs/glance.yml) file into it by running:
```bash
mkdir config && wget -O config/glance.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glanceapp/glance/refs/heads/main/docs/glance.yml
```
Feel free to edit the `glance.yml` file to your liking, and when ready run:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
If you encounter any issues, you can check the logs by running:
```bash
docker logs glance
```
Manual binary installation
Precompiled binaries are available for Linux, Windows and macOS (x86, x86_64, ARM and ARM64 architectures).
### Linux
Visit the [latest release page](https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/releases/latest) for available binaries. You can place the binary in `/opt/glance/` and have it start with your server via a [systemd service](https://linuxhandbook.com/create-systemd-services/). By default, when running the binary, it will look for a `glance.yml` file in the directory it's placed in. To specify a different path for the config file, use the `--config` option:
```bash
/opt/glance/glance --config /etc/glance.yml
```
To grab a starting template for the config file, run:
```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glanceapp/glance/refs/heads/main/docs/glance.yml
```
### Windows
Download and extract the executable from the [latest release](https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/releases/latest) (most likely the file called `glance-windows-amd64.zip` if you're on a 64-bit system) and place it in a folder of your choice. Then, create a new text file called `glance.yml` in the same folder and paste the content from [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glanceapp/glance/refs/heads/main/docs/glance.yml) in it. You should then be able to run the executable and access the dashboard by visiting `http://localhost:8080` in your browser.
Other
Glance can also be installed through the following 3rd party channels:
* [Proxmox VE Helper Script](https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=glance)
* [NixOS package](https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=glance)
* [Coolify.io](https://coolify.io/docs/services/glance/)
## Building from source
Choose one of the following methods:
Build binary with Go
Requirements: [Go](https://go.dev/dl/) >= v1.23
To build the project for your current OS and architecture, run:
```bash
go build -o build/glance .
```
To build for a specific OS and architecture, run:
```bash
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o build/glance .
```
[*click here for a full list of GOOS and GOARCH combinations*](https://go.dev/doc/install/source#:~:text=$GOOS%20and%20$GOARCH)
Alternatively, if you just want to run the app without creating a binary, like when you're testing out changes, you can run:
```bash
go run .
```
Build project and Docker image with Docker
Requirements: [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)
To build the project and image using just Docker, run:
*(replace `owner` with your name or organization)*
```bash
docker build -t owner/glance:latest .
```
If you wish to push the image to a registry (by default Docker Hub), run:
```bash
docker push owner/glance:latest
```
## FAQ
Does the information on the page update automatically?
No, a page refresh is required to update the information. Some things do dynamically update where it makes sense, like the clock widget and the relative time showing how long ago something happened.
How frequently do widgets update?
No requests are made periodically in the background, information is only fetched upon loading the page and then cached. The default cache lifetime is different for each widget and can be configured.
Can I create my own widgets?
Yes, there are multiple ways to create custom widgets:
* `iframe` widget - allows you to embed things from other websites
* `html` widget - allows you to insert your own static HTML
* `extension` widget - fetch HTML from a URL
* `custom-api` widget - fetch JSON from a URL and render it using custom HTML
Can I change the title of a widget?
Yes, the title of all widgets can be changed by specifying the `title` property in the widget's configuration:
```yaml
- type: rss
title: My custom title
- type: markets
title: My custom title
- type: videos
title: My custom title
# and so on for all widgets...
```
## Feature requests
New feature suggestions are always welcome and will be considered, though please keep in mind that some of them may be out of scope for what the project is trying to achieve (or is reasonably capable of). If you have an idea for a new feature and would like to share it, you can do so [here](https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/issues/new?template=feature_request.yml).
Feature requests are tagged with one of the following:
* [Roadmap](https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/labels/roadmap) - will be implemented in a future release
* [Backlog](https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/labels/backlog) - may be implemented in the future but needs further feedback or interest from the community
* [Icebox](https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/labels/icebox) - no plans to implement as it doesn't currently align with the project's goals or capabilities, may be revised at a later date
## Contributing guidelines
* Before working on a new feature it's preferable to submit a feature request first and state that you'd like to implement it yourself
* Please don't submit PRs for feature requests that are either in the roadmap[1], backlog[2] or icebox[3]
* Use `dev` for the base branch if you're adding new features or fixing bugs, otherwise use `main`
* Avoid introducing new dependencies
* Avoid making backwards-incompatible configuration changes
* Avoid introducing new colors or hard-coding colors, use the standard `primary`, `positive` and `negative`
* For icons, try to use [heroicons](https://heroicons.com/) where applicable
* Provide a screenshot of the changes if UI related where possible
* No `package.json`
[1] [2] [3]
[1] The feature likely already has work put into it that may conflict with your implementation
[2] The demand, implementation or functionality for this feature is not yet clear
[3] No plans to add this feature for the time being
