### Image
Displays an image.
This may be useful if you have a service (such as Grafana - [see example](https://mattionline.de/grafana-api-export-graph-as-png/)), which periodically exports charts or other data as an image.
You can also store images within Dashy's public directory (using a Docker volume), and reference them directly. E.g. `-v ./path/to/my-homelab-logo.png:/app/public/logo.png`, then in the widget `imagePath: /logo.png`.
Similarly, any web service that serves up widgets as image can be used. E.g. you could show current star chart for a GitHub repo, with: `imagePath: https://starchart.cc/Lissy93/dashy.svg`.
If you'd like to embed a live screenshot, of all or just part of a website, then this can be done using [API Flash](https://apiflash.com/).
Or what about showing a photo of the day? Try `https://source.unsplash.com/random/400x300` or `https://picsum.photos/400/300`

## System Resource Monitoring
The easiest method for displaying system info and resource usage in Dashy is with [Glances](https://nicolargo.github.io/glances/).
Glances is a cross-platform monitoring tool developed by [@nicolargo](https://github.com/nicolargo). It's similar to top/htop but with a [Rest API](https://glances.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html) and many [data exporters](https://glances.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gw/index.html) available. Under the hood, it uses [psutil](https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil) for retrieving system info.
If you don't already have it installed, either follow the [Installation Guide](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/blob/master/README.rst) for your system, or setup [with Docker](https://glances.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docker.html), or use the one-line install script: `curl -L https://bit.ly/glances | /bin/bash`.
Glances can be launched with the `glances` command. You'll need to run it in web server mode, using the `-w` option for the API to be reachable. If you don't plan on using the Web UI, then you can disable it using `--disable-webui`. See the [command reference docs](https://glances.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cmds.html) for more info.
##### Options
All Glance's based widgets require a `hostname`. All other parameters are optional.
**Field** | **Type** | **Required** | **Description**
--- | --- | --- | ---
**`hostname`** | `string` | Required | The URL or IP + port to your Glances instance (without a trailing slash)
**`username`** | `string` | _Optional_ | If you have setup basic auth on Glances, specify username here (defaults to `glances`)
**`password`** | `string` | _Optional_ | If you have setup basic auth on Glances, specify password here. **Note**: since this password is in plaintext, it is important not to reuse it anywhere else
**`apiVersion`** | `string` | _Optional_ | Specify an API version, defaults to V `3`. Note that support for older versions is limited
**`limit`** | `number` | _Optional_ | For widgets that show a time-series chart, optionally limit the number of data points returned. A higher number will show more historical results, but will take longer to load. A value between 300 - 800 is usually optimal
Note that if auth is configured, requests must be proxied with `useProxy: true`

Shows recent historical system load, calculated from the number of processes waiting in the run-queue, in 1, 5 and 15 minute intervals, and averaged across all cores. Optionally specify `limit` to set number of results returned, defaults to `500`, max `100000`, but the higher the number the longer the load and render times will be.
##### Example
```yaml
- type: gl-load-history
options:
hostname: http://192.168.130.2:61208
```
---
### Network Interfaces
Lists visible network interfaces, including real-time upload/ download stats
##### Example
```yaml
- type: gl-network-interfaces
options:
hostname: http://192.168.130.2:61208
```
---
### Network Traffic
Shows amount of data recently uploaded/ downloaded across all network interfaces. Optionally set the `limit` option to specify number historical of data points to return
##### Example
```yaml
- type: gl-network-traffic
options:
hostname: http://192.168.130.2:61208
limit: 500
```
---
### Resource Usage Alerts
Lists recent high resource usage alerts (e.g. CPU, mem, IO, load, temp)
##### Example
```yaml
- type: gl-alerts
options:
hostname: http://192.168.130.2:61208
```
---
### IP Address
Shows public and private IP address. Note that the ip plugin is not available on all instances of Glances.
##### Example
```yaml
- type: gl-ip-address
options:
hostname: http://192.168.130.2:61208
```
---
### CPU Temp
Displays temperature data from system CPUs.
Note: This widget uses the [`sensors`](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/blob/develop/glances/plugins/glances_sensors.py) plugin, which is disabled by default, and may cause [performance issues](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/1664#issuecomment-632063558).
You'll need to enable the sensors plugin to use this widget, using: `--enable-plugin sensors` when you start Glances.
##### Example
```yaml
- type: gl-cpu-temp
options:
hostname: http://192.168.130.2:61208
```
---
## Dynamic Widgets
### Iframe Widget
Embed any webpage into your dashboard as a widget.
##### Options
**Field** | **Type** | **Required** | **Description**
--- | --- | --- | ---
**`url`** | `string` | Required | The URL to the webpage to embed
**`frameHeight`** | `number` | _Optional_ | If needed, specify height of iframe in `px`. E.g. `400`, defaults to auto
##### Example

```
---
### HTML Embedded Widget
Many websites and apps provide their own embeddable widgets. These can be used with Dashy using the Embed widget, which lets you dynamically embed and HTML, CSS or JavaScript contents.
â ī¸ **NOTE:** Use with extreme caution. Embedding a script from an untrustworthy source may have serious unintended consequences.
##### Options
**Field** | **Type** | **Required** | **Description**
--- | --- | --- | ---
**`html`** | `string` | _Optional_ | HTML contents to render in the widget
**`script`** | `string` | _Optional_ | Raw JavaScript code to execute (caution)
**`scriptSrc`** | `string` | _Optional_ | A URL to JavaScript content (caution)
**`css`** | `string` | _Optional_ | Any stylings for widget contents
##### Example
```yaml
- type: embed
options:
scriptSrc: https://cdn.speedcheck.org/basic/scbjs.min.js
html: |
```
Or
```yaml
- type: embed
options:
css: '.coinmarketcap-currency-widget { color: var(--widget-text-color); }'
html: ''
scriptSrc: 'https://files.coinmarketcap.com/static/widget/currency.js'
```
You can also use this widget to display an image, wither locally or from a remote origin.
```yaml
- type: embed
options:
html: ''
```
---
### API Response
Directly output plain-text response from any API-enabled service.
// Coming soon...
---
### Prometheus Data
Display data from any service with a Prometheus exporter.
// Coming soon...
---
### Data Feed
Show live data from an RSS-enabled service. The only required parameter is `rssUrl`, which is the URL to the ATOM feed. See [RSS Widget](#rss-feed) for full list of available options.
##### Example
```yaml
- type: rss-feed
options:
rssUrl: https://notes.aliciasykes.com/feed
```
---
## Usage & Customizations
### Widget Usage Guide
Like items, widgets are placed under sections. You may have one or more widgets per section.
In your YAML config file, this will look something like:
```yaml
sections:
- name: Today
icon: far fa-calendar-day
widgets:
- type: clock
options:
format: en-GB
- type: weather
options:
apiKey: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
city: London
units: metric
```
> In this example, there is a single section, named "Today", using a Calendar icon from Font-Awesome. It has 2 widgets, a clock and the current weather.
---
### Continuous Updates
By default, a widget which displays dynamic data from an external source, will only fetch results on page load. If you would like to keep data updated at all times, you can enable **Continuous Updates**. This is done by setting a time value in the `updateInterval` field.
The value of `updateInterval` is optional, and is specified and seconds. It must be more than `10` and less than `7200`.
For example, the following widget displaying stats from Pi-Hole will update ever 20 seconds.
```yaml
widgets:
- type: pi-hole-stats
updateInterval: 20
options:
hostname: http://192.168.130.2
```
Note that if you have many widgets, and set them to continuously update frequently, you will notice a hit to performance. A widget that relies on data from an external API, will also consume your usage quota faster, if set to keep updating.
---
### Proxying Requests
If a widget fails to make a data request, and the console shows a CORS error, this means the server is blocking client-side requests.
Dashy has a built-in CORS proxy ([`services/cors-proxy.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/services/cors-proxy.js)), which will be used automatically by some widgets, or can be forced to use by other by setting the `useProxy` option.
For example:
```yaml
widgets:
- type: pi-hole-stats
useProxy: true
options:
hostname: http://pi-hole.local
```
Alternativley, and more securley, you can set the auth headers on your service to accept requests from Dashy. For example:
```
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://location-of-dashy/
Vary: Origin
```
---
### Setting Timeout
If the endpoint you are requesting data from is slow to respond, you may see a timeout error in the console. This can easily be fixed by specifying the `timeout` property on the offending widget. This should be an integer value, in milliseconds. By default timeout is `2500` ms (2ÂŊ seconds).
For example:
```yaml
- type: gl-current-cpu
timeout: 8000
options:
hostname: https://glances.dns-device.local
```
---
### Widget Styling
Like elsewhere in Dashy, all colours can be easily modified with CSS variables.
Widgets use the following color variables, which can be overridden if desired:
- `--widget-text-color` - Text color, defaults to `--primary`
- `--widget-background-color` - Background color, defaults to `--background-darker`
- `--widget-accent-color` - Accent color, defaults to `--background`
For more info on how to apply custom variables, see the [Theming Docs](/docs/theming.md#setting-custom-css-in-the-ui)
---
### Customizing Charts
For widgets that contain charts, you can set an array of colors under `chartColors`.
To specify the chart height, set `chartHeight` to an integer (in `px`), defaults to `300`.
For example:
```yaml
- type: gl-load-history
options:
hostname: http://192.168.130.2:61208
chartColors: ['#9b5de5', '#f15bb5', '#00bbf9', '#00f5d4']
chartHeight: 450
```
---
### Language Translations
Since most of the content displayed within widgets is fetched from an external API, unless that API supports multiple languages, translating dynamic content is not possible.
However, any hard-coded content is translatable, and all dates and times will display in your local format.
For more info about multi-language support, see the [Internationalization Docs](/docs/multi-language-support.md).
---
### Widget UI Options
Widgets can be opened in full-page view, by clicking the Arrow icon (top-right). The URL in your address bar will also update, and visiting that web address directly will take you straight to that widget.
You can reload the data of any widget, by clicking the Refresh Data icon (also in top-right). This will only affect the widget where the action was triggered from.
All [config options](/docs/configuring.md#section) that can be applied to sections, can also be applied to widget sections. For example, to make a widget section double the width, set `displayData.cols: 2` within the parent section. You can collapse a widget (by clicking the section title), and collapse state will be saved locally.
Widgets cannot currently be edited through the UI. This feature is in development, and will be released soon. In the meantime, you can either use the JSON config editor, or use [VS Code Server](https://github.com/coder/code-server), or just SSH into your box and edit the conf.yml file directly.
---
### Build your own Widget
Widgets are built in a modular fashion, making it easy for anyone to create their own custom components.
For a full tutorial on creating your own widget, you can follow [this guide](/docs/development-guides.md#building-a-widget), or take a look at [here](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/commit/3da76ce2999f57f76a97454c0276301e39957b8e) for a code example.
Alternatively, for displaying simple data, you could also just use the either the [iframe](#iframe-widget), [embed](#html-embedded-widget), [data feed](#data-feed) or [API response](#api-response) widgets.
---
### Requesting a Widget
Suggestions for widget ideas are welcome. But there is no guarantee that I will build your widget idea.
Please only request widgets for services that:
- Have a publicly accessible API
- Are CORS and HTTPS enabled
- Are free to use, or have a free plan
- Allow for use in their Terms of Service
- Would be useful for other users
You can suggest a widget [here](https://git.io/Jygo3), please star the repo before submitting a ticket. If you are a monthly GitHub sponsor, I will happily build out a custom widget for any service that meets the above criteria, usually 2 within weeks of initial request.
For services that are not officially supported, it is likely still possible to display data using either the [iframe](#iframe-widget), [embed](#html-embedded-widget) or [API response](#api-response) widgets. For more advanced features, like charts and action buttons, you could also build your own widget, using [this tutorial](/docs/development-guides.md#building-a-widget), it's fairly straight forward, and you can use an [existing widget](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tree/master/src/components/Widgets) (or [this example](https://git.io/JygKI)) as a template.

### Troubleshooting Widget Errors
If an error occurs when fetching or rendering results, you will see a short message in the UI. If that message doesn't addequatley explain the problem, then you can [open the browser console](/docs/troubleshooting.md#how-to-open-browser-console) to see more details.
Before proceeding, ensure that if the widget requires auth your API is correct, and for custom widgets, double check that the URL and protocol is correct.
If you're able to, you can find more information about why the request may be failing in the Dev Tools under the Network tab, and you can ensure your endpoint is correct and working using a tool like Postman.
#### CORS Errors
The most common issue is a CORS error. This is a browser security mechanism which prevents the client-side app (Dashy) from from accessing resources on a remote origin, without that server's explicit permission (e.g. with headers like Access-Control-Allow-Origin). See the MDN Docs for more info: [Cross-Origin Resource Sharing](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS).
There are several ways to fix a CORS error:
##### Option 1 - Ensure Correct Protocol
You will get a CORS error if you try and access a http service from a https source. So ensure that the URL you are requesting has the right protocol, and is correctly formatted.
##### Option 2 - Set Headers
If you have control over the destination (e.g. for a self-hosted service), then you can simply apply the correct headers.
Add the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header, with the value of either `*` to allow requests from anywhere, or more securely, the host of where Dashy is served from. For example:
```
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://url-of-dashy.local
```
or
```
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
```
##### Option 3 - Proxying Request
You can route requests through Dashy's built-in CORS proxy. Instructions and more details can be found [here](#proxying-requests). If you don't have control over the target origin, and you are running Dashy either through Docker, with the Node server or on Netlify, then this solution will work for you.
Just add the `useProxy: true` option to the failing widget.
##### Option 4 - Use a plugin
For testing purposes, you can use an addon, which will disable the CORS checks. You can get the Allow-CORS extension for [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/allow-cors-access-control/lhobafahddgcelffkeicbaginigeejlf?hl=en-US) or [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/access-control-allow-origin/), more details [here](https://mybrowseraddon.com/access-control-allow-origin.html)

### Raising an Issue
If you need to submit a bug report for a failing widget, then please include the full console output (see [how](/docs/troubleshooting.md#how-to-open-browser-console)) as well as the relevant parts of your config file. Before sending the request, ensure you've read the docs. If you're new to GitHub, an haven't previously contributed to the project, then please fist star the repo to avoid your ticket being closed by the anti-spam bot.
