I second this, bonus points if you get a domain through Cloudflare and use their tunnel service to access shrike away from home!

This is awesome! As a systems engineer for my day job, I love seeing stuff like this!

Its called Homepage. Link here! https://github.com/benphelps/homepage

Really easy to set up and even easier to configure, its just a few yml files that need to be modified to add new entries to the dashboard. They have some great documentation too!

No problem! I used Heimdall for a while too, until someone recommended Homepage. Never looked back! The API support for certain applications really drives it home for me.

Hey! IM going to post my config below, excuse the formatting if it comes out really messed up, im totally unsure how Lemmy is going to handle this.

- Pihole:
    icon: pi-hole.png # This is the icon that will be displayed on the widget
    href: Link to your PiHole login # Optional, but makes the widget clickable
    description: DNS Server/Ad-Blocker # Description of the service
    ping: IP_ADDRESS_PIHOLE # Options, but will ping the host and display latency
    widget:
        type: pihole # This is required by Homepage to define the type of widget 
        url: http://IP_ADDRESS_PIHOLE
        key: REDACTED # This is an API key generated on the PiHole

Here is the link I used for obtaining the API key. https://pi-hole.net/blog/2022/11/17/upcoming-changes-authentication-for-more-api-endpoints-required/#page-content

Let me know if you have any issues!

Never knew about this! Will definitely be checking this out, expect an updated Dashboard in the near future with this widget functioning!

Im undecided, to be totally candid I am not super confident in my Ansible skills yet, and dont want to push some of my ansible to github and accidentally expose passwords, public IP addresses, etc. I chose Gitea because it was the first application that came up on Google when I googled “self hosted github”…

I am working on vaulting all of that stuff now and will eventually just move over to Github

Its been a long time coming, and is never officially finished. I have most of the host updates automated with Ansible and runs weekly without my attention. Only really need to intervene when something is not working the way it should, or when my automatic updates breaks something…

Im not sure, I am also running Homepage in a docker container, I am able to connect to my pi-hole just fine. From the information I have, it seems like a networking issue.
