Smart cards

Smart cards provide specific integrations for external services. They display additional information and extra features beyond basic service card. Smart cards are enabled by adding a type key to the service item in your YAML configuration.

Each service integration has different requirements and may need additional configuration parameters (see card list below).

[!WARNING]
Your config.yml file is exposed at /assets/config.yml via HTTP. Any sensitive information (like API keys) in this file is visible to anyone who can access your Homer instance. Only include API keys if your Homer instance is protected by authentication or access controls or use a proxy like CORSair to inject your credentials safely, using environment variable on the server side.

Available services are located in src/components/:

[!IMPORTANT]
Smart cards that interact with external services are subject to CORS restrictions, therefore require one of the following:

  • All services hosted on the same domain as Homer (mydomain.tld/pihole, mydomain.tld/proxmox) to avoid cross-domain request entirely.
  • All services configured to accept cross-site requests by sending the necessary CORS headers (either directly in service configuration or via proxy).
  • Use a proxy to add the necessary CORS headers (lot of options, some of them described here. Also check CORSair, a light and simple solution)

If you experience any issues, see the troubleshooting page.

Common options

- name: "My Service"
  type: "<type>"
  logo: "assets/tools/sample.png" # Optional
  url: https://my-service.url # Optional: Card link and API base url unless 'endpoint' is provided (see below) 
  endpoint: https://my-service-api.url # Optional: alternative base URL used to fetch service data when necessary.
  useCredentials: false # Optional: Override global proxy.useCredentials configuration.
  headers: # Optional: Override global proxy.headers configuration.

If a subtitle is provided, (using the subtitle configuration key), it will override (hide) any custom information displayed on the subtitle line by the custom integration.
