Intro

Configuration is done via a single YAML file and a server restart is required in order for any changes to take effect. Trying to start the server with an invalid config file will result in an error.

This will give you a page that looks like the following:

Configure the widgets, add more of them, add extra pages, etc. Make it your own!

Server

Server configuration is done through a top level server property. Example:

server:
  port: 8080
  assets-path: /home/user/glance-assets

Properties

Name	Type	Required	Default
host	string	no
port	number	no	8080
assets-path	string	no

`host`

The address which the server will listen on. Setting it to localhost means that only the machine that the server is running on will be able to access the dashboard. By default it will listen on all interfaces.

`port`

A number between 1 and 65,535, so long as that port isn't already used by anything else.

`assets-path`

The path to a directory that will be served by the server under the /assets/ path. This is handy for widgets like the Monitor where you have to specify an icon URL and you want to self host all the icons rather than pointing to an external source.

Important

When installing through docker the path will point to the files inside the container. Don't forget to mount your assets path to the same path inside the container. Example:

If your assets are in:
/home/user/glance-assets
You should mount:
/home/user/glance-assets:/app/assets
And your config should contain:
assets-path: /app/assets

Examples

Say you have a directory glance-assets with a file gitea-icon.png in it and you specify your assets path like:

assets-path: /home/user/glance-assets

To be able to point to an asset from your assets path, use the the /assets/ path like such:

icon: /assets/gitea-icon.png

Theme

Theming is done through a top level theme property. Values for the colors are in HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) format. You can use a color picker like this one to convert colors from other formats to HSL. The values are separated by a space and % is not required for any of the numbers.

Example:

theme:
  background-color: 100 20 10
  primary-color: 40 90 40
  contrast-multiplier: 1.1

Themes

If you don't want to spend time configuring your own theme, there are several available themes which you can simply copy the values for.

Properties

Name	Type	Required	Default
light	boolean	no	false
background-color	HSL	no	240 8 9
primary-color	HSL	no	43 50 70
positive-color	HSL	no	same as `primary-color`
negative-color	HSL	no	0 70 70
contrast-multiplier	number	no	1
text-saturation-multiplier	number	no	1
custom-css-file	string	no

`light`

Whether the scheme is light or dark. This does not change the background color, it inverts the text colors so that they look appropriately on a light background.

`background-color`

Color of the page and widgets.

`primary-color`

Color used across the page, largely to indicate unvisited links.

`positive-color`

Used to indicate that something is positive, such as stock price being up, twitch channel being live or a monitored site being online. If not set, the value of primary-color will be used.

`negative-color`

Oppposite of positive-color.

`contrast-multiplier`

Used to increase or decrease the contrast (in other words visibility) of the text. A value of 1.3 means that the text will be 30% lighter/darker depending on the scheme. Use this if you think that some of the text on the page is too dark and hard to read. Example:

`text-saturation-multiplier`

Used to increase or decrease the saturation of text, useful when using a custom background color with a high amount of saturation and needing the text to have a more neutral color. 0.5 means that the saturation will be 50% lower and 1.5 means that it'll be 50% higher.

`custom-css-file`

Path to a custom CSS file, either external or one from within the server configured assets path. Example:

theme:
  custom-css-file: /assets/my-style.css

Tip

Because Glance uses a lot of utility classes it might be difficult to target some elements. To make it easier to style specific widgets, each widget has a widget-type-{name} class, so for example if you wanted to make the links inside just the RSS widget bigger you could use the following selector:
.widget-type-rss a {
    font-size: 1.5rem;
}

Pages & Columns

Using pages and columns is how widgets are organized. Each page contains up to 3 columns and each column can have any number of widgets.

Pages

Pages are defined through a top level pages property. The page defined first becomes the home page and all pages get automatically added to the navigation bar in the order that they were defined. Example:

pages:
  - name: Home
    columns: ...

  - name: Videos
    columns: ...

  - name: Homelab
    columns: ...

Properties

Name	Type	Required
title	string	yes
slug	string	no
columns	array	yes

`title`

The name of the page which gets shown in the navigation bar.

`slug`

The URL friendly version of the title which is used to access the page. For example if the title of the page is "RSS Feeds" you can make the page accessible via localhost:8080/feeds by setting the slug to feeds. If not defined, it will automatically be generated from the title.

Columns

Columns are defined for each page using a columns property. There are two types of columns - full and small, which refers to their width. A small column takes up a fixed amount of width (300px) and a full column takes up the all of the remaining width. You can have up to 3 columns per page and you must have either 1 or 2 full columns. Example:

pages:
  - name: Home
    columns:
      - size: small
        widgets: ...
      - size: full
        widgets: ...
      - size: small
        widgets: ...

Properties

Name	Type	Required
size	string	yes
widgets	array	no

Here are some of the possible column configurations:

columns:
  - size: small
    widgets: ...
  - size: full
    widgets: ...
  - size: small
    widgets: ...

columns:
  - size: full
    widgets: ...
  - size: small
    widgets: ...

columns:
  - size: full
    widgets: ...
  - size: full
    widgets: ...

Widgets

Widgets are defined for each column using a widgets property. Example:

pages:
  - name: Home
    columns:
      - size: small
        widgets:
          - type: weather
            location: London, United Kingdom

Note

Currently not all widgets are designed to fit every column size, however some widgets offer different "styles" that help alleviate this limitation.

Shared Properties

Name	Type	Required
type	string	yes
title	string	no
cache	string	no

`type`

Used to specify the widget.

`title`

The title of the widget. If left blank it will be defined by the widget.

`cache`

How long to keep the fetched data in memory. The value is a string and must be a number followed by one of s, m, h, d. Examples:

cache: 30s # 30 seconds
cache: 5m  # 5 minutes

token	string	no
limit	integer	no	10
collapse-after	integer	no	5

`repositories`

A list of repositores for which to fetch the latest release for. Only the name/repo is required, not the full URL.

`token`

Without authentication Github allows for up to 60 requests per hour. You can easily exceed this limit and start seeing errors if you're tracking lots of repositories or your cache time is low. To circumvent this you can create a read only token from your Github account and provide it here.

You can also specify the value for this token through an ENV variable using the syntax ${GITHUB_TOKEN} where GITHUB_TOKEN is the name of the variable that holds the token. If you've installed Glance through docker you can specify the token in your docker-compose:

services:
  glance:
    image: glanceapp/glance
    environment:
      - GITHUB_TOKEN: <your token>

and then use it in your glance.yml like this:

- type: releases
  token: ${GITHUB_TOKEN}
  repositories: ...

This way you can safely check your glance.yml in version control without exposing the token.

`limit`

The maximum number of releases to show.

`collapse-after`

How many releases are visible before the "SHOW MORE" button appears. Set to -1 to never collapse.

Bookmarks
