config VS homer-theme

For reference, I use Nix a lot. I was pushing it pretty hard at Intuit while I worked there.

All my systems are managed with it:

And I have created projects like Snowfall Lib to make working with certain features easier:

Declarative home environments are pretty great. Being able to reproduce your entire user setup is fantastic when you manage multiple machines or want to make future migrations.

I run NixOS and use Home-Manager as well. This lets me define my entire system in addition to my user home contents declaratively. So with this configuration I can apply NixOS & Home-Manager to get the same results anywhere.

Here is an example of my Home-Manager configuration: https://github.com/jakehamilton/config/blob/a3da20eeab74a50a...

In this example I configure Git. This gets written to my user home's config directory.

I started by packaging Homer itself: https://github.com/jakehamilton/config/blob/main/packages/homer/default.nix

Here's my hardware config (ignore the comment, I need to remove that now): https://github.com/jakehamilton/config/blob/dev/systems/x86_64-linux/jasper/hardware.nix

Here's an example of an appimage I've packaged if it helps: https://github.com/jakehamilton/config/blob/c8476566abf46450060131be23a15910cb530208/packages/ubports-installer/default.nix

I jumped in several months ago and haven't really regretted it. The caveat being that you have to be okay with learning Nix (the language), debugging with only arcane error messages to go off of, and reading a lot of the config source because documentation is vast but shallow. If you feel like you're willing to make the tradeoff, then it is a blast and you'll be surprised you ever lived without Nix.

In case you want some inspiration or to take an existing config and run, feel free to take a peek at or use mine: https://github.com/jakehamilton/config

I'm new to self-hosting, and I've stumbled upon Homer which seems like a good tool. However, it's real tedius to go through editing the config file VIM based constantly.

Would love to see y'alls homepages with custom CSS integrated! I've see some cool/clean designs and would love for other to share! The homepage Im referring to is https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer

However, lately I've been driven to insanity trying to set up a homer dashboard without Docker, using nginx. I have pretty minimal experience with hosting in general so I'm not sure how much of my problem is from misunderstanding nginx vs. misunderstanding nixos.

Homer supports multiple pages (like tabs), so you could perhaps set up different pages/tabs for the separate interests.

Hi r/selfhosted! I was wondering if there was any sort of plugin for Homer that sets up a login screen. I've tried looking on GitHub but the terms "homer lock" and "homer login" doesn't warrant results for the plugin I am looking for.

Ohh you got a lot of options here. My personal favorite is Dashy, which is the most feature-rich of all and has powerful theming options. There's also Heimdall and Organizr, which seem to be popular with the community. Homer is another option. That's not a definitive list

Or https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer 😜

homer, homepage, homarr are some of the famous ones. You can find more here.
