Themeable

Optimized for mobile devices

Fast and lightweight

• Minimal JS, no bloated frameworks
• Very few dependencies
• Single, easily distributed <15mb binary and just as small docker container
• All requests are parallelized, uncached pages usually load within ~1s (depending on internet speed and number of widgets)

Configuration

Checkout the configuration docs to learn more. A preconfigured page is also available to get you started quickly.

Installation

Caution

The project is under active development, expect things to break every once in a while.

Manual

Checkout the releases page for available binaries. You can place the binary inside /opt/glance/ and have it start with your server via a systemd service. To specify a different path for the config file use the --config option:

/opt/glance/glance --config /etc/glance.yml

Docker

Important

Make sure you have a valid glance.yml file in the same directory before running the container.

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \
  -v ./glance.yml:/app/glance.yml \
  -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro \
  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
  glanceapp/glance

Or if you prefer docker compose:

services:
  glance:
    image: glanceapp/glance
    volumes:
      - ./glance.yml:/app/glance.yml
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    restart: unless-stopped
