## Preconfigured page
If you don't want to spend time reading through all the available configuration options and just want something to get you going quickly you can use [this `glance.yml` file](glance.yml) and make changes to it as you see fit. It will give you a page that looks like the following:

![](images/preconfigured-page-preview.png)

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

## The config file

### Auto reload
Automatic config reload is supported, meaning that you can make changes to the config file and have them take effect on save without having to restart the container/service. Making changes to environment variables does not trigger a reload and requires manual restart. Deleting a config file will stop that file from being watched, even if it is recreated.

> [!NOTE]
>
> If you attempt to start Glance with an invalid config it will exit with an error outright. If you successfully started Glance with a valid config and then made changes to it which result in an error, you'll see that error in the console and Glance will continue to run with the old configuration. You can then continue to make changes and when there are no errors the new configuration will be loaded.

> [!CAUTION]
>
> Reloading the configuration file clears your cached data, meaning that you have to request the data anew each time you do this. This can lead to rate limiting for some APIs if you do it too frequently. Having a cache that persists between reloads will be added in the future.

### Environment variables
Inserting environment variables is supported anywhere in the config. This is done via the `${ENV_VAR}` syntax. Attempting to use an environment variable that doesn't exist will result in an error and Glance will either not start or load your new config on save. Example:

```yaml
server:
  host: ${HOST}
  port: ${PORT}
```

Can also be in the middle of a string:

```yaml
- type: rss
  title: ${RSS_TITLE}
  feeds:
    - url: http://domain.com/rss/${RSS_CATEGORY}.xml
```

Works with any type of value, not just strings:

```yaml
- type: rss
  limit: ${RSS_LIMIT}
```

If you need to use the syntax `${NAME}` in your config without it being interpreted as an environment variable, you can escape it by prefixing with a backslash `\`:

```yaml
something: \${NOT_AN_ENV_VAR}
```

### Including other config files
Including config files from within your main config file is supported. This is done via the `!include` directive along with a relative or absolute path to the file you want to include. If the path is relative, it will be relative to the main config file. Additionally, environment variables can be used within included files, and changes to the included files will trigger an automatic reload. Example:

```yaml
pages:
  !include: home.yml
  !include: videos.yml
  !include: homelab.yml
```

The file you are including should not have any additional indentation, its values should be at the top level and the appropriate amount of indentation will be added automatically depending on where the file is included. Example:

`glance.yml`

```yaml
pages:
  - name: Home
    columns:
      - size: full
        widgets:
          !include: rss.yml
  - name: News
    columns:
      - size: full
        widgets:
          - type: group
            widgets:
              !include: rss.yml
              - type: reddit
                subreddit: news
```

`rss.yml`

```yaml
- type: rss
  title: News
  feeds:
    - url: ${RSS_URL}
```

The `!include` directive can be used anywhere in the config file, not just in the `pages` property, however it must be on its own line and have the appropriate indentation.

If you encounter YAML parsing errors when using the `!include` directive, the reported line numbers will likely be incorrect. This is because the inclusion of files is done before the YAML is parsed, as YAML itself does not support file inclusion. To help with debugging in cases like this, you can use the `config:print` command and pipe it into `less -N` to see the full config file with includes resolved and line numbers added:

```sh
glance --config /path/to/glance.yml config:print | less -N
```

This is a bit more convoluted when running Glance inside a Docker container:

```sh
docker run --rm -v ./glance.yml:/app/config/glance.yml glanceapp/glance config:print | less -N
```

This assumes that the config you want to print is in your current working directory and is named `glance.yml`.

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

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

### Properties

| Name | Type | Required | Default |
| ---- | ---- | -------- | ------- |
| host | string | no |  |
| port | number | no | 8080 |
| base-url | string | no | |
| 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.

#### `base-url`
The base URL that Glance is hosted under. No need to specify this unless you're using a reverse proxy and are hosting Glance under a directory. If that's the case then you can set this value to `/glance` or whatever the directory is called. Note that the forward slash (`/`) in the beginning is required unless you specify the full domain and path.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> You need to strip the `base-url` prefix before forwarding the request to the Glance server.
> In Caddy you can do this using [`handle_path`](https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/handle_path) or [`uri strip_prefix`](https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/uri).

#### `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:

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

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

```yaml
icon: /assets/gitea-icon.png
```

## Document
If you want to insert custom HTML into the `<head>` of the document for all pages, you can do so by using the `document` property. Example:

```yaml
document:
  head: |
    <script src="/assets/custom.js"></script>
```

## Branding
You can adjust the various parts of the branding through a top level `branding` property. Example:

```yaml
branding:
  custom-footer: |
    <p>Powered by <a href="https://github.com/glanceapp/glance">Glance</a></p>
  logo-url: /assets/logo.png
  favicon-url: /assets/logo.png
```

### Properties

| Name | Type | Required | Default |
| ---- | ---- | -------- | ------- |
| hide-footer | bool | no | false |
| custom-footer | string | no |  |
| logo-text | string | no | G |
| logo-url | string | no | |
| favicon-url | string | no | |

#### `hide-footer`
Hides the footer when set to `true`.

#### `custom-footer`
Specify custom HTML to use for the footer.

#### `logo-text`
Specify custom text to use instead of the "G" found in the navigation.

#### `logo-url`
Specify a URL to a custom image to use instead of the "G" found in the navigation. If both `logo-text` and `logo-url` are set, only `logo-url` will be used.

#### `favicon-url`
Specify a URL to a custom image to use for the favicon.

## Theme
Theming is done through a top level `theme` property. Values for the colors are in [HSL](https://giggster.com/guide/basics/hue-saturation-lightness/) (hue, saturation, lightness) format. You can use a color picker [like this one](https://hslpicker.com/) 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:

```yaml
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](themes.md) 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:

![difference between 1 and 1.3 contrast](images/contrast-multiplier-example.png)

#### `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:

```yaml
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:
>
> ```css
> .widget-type-rss a {
>     font-size: 1.5rem;
> }
> ```
>
> In addition, you can also use the `css-class` property which is available on every widget to set custom class names for individual widgets.


## Pages & Columns
![illustration of pages and columns](images/pages-and-columns-illustration.png)

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:

```yaml
pages:
  - name: Home
    columns: ...

  - name: Videos
    columns: ...

  - name: Homelab
    columns: ...
```

### Properties
| Name | Type | Required | Default |
| ---- | ---- | -------- | ------- |
| name | string | yes | |
| slug | string | no | |
| width | string | no | |
| center-vertically | boolean | no | false |
| hide-desktop-navigation | boolean | no | false |
| expand-mobile-page-navigation | boolean | no | false |
| show-mobile-header | boolean | no | false |
| 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.

#### `width`
The maximum width of the page on desktop. Possible values are `slim` and `wide`.

* default: `1600px` (when no value is specified)
* slim: `1100px`
* wide: `1920px`

> [!NOTE]
>
> When using `slim`, the maximum number of columns allowed for that page is `2`.

#### `center-vertically`
When set to `true`, vertically centers the content on the page. Has no effect if the content is taller than the height of the viewport.

#### `hide-desktop-navigation`
Whether to show the navigation links at the top of the page on desktop.

#### `expand-mobile-page-navigation`
Whether the mobile page navigation should be expanded by default.

#### `show-mobile-header`
Whether to show a header displaying the name of the page on mobile. The header purposefully has a lot of vertical whitespace in order to push the content down and make it easier to reach on tall devices.

Preview:

![](images/mobile-header-preview.png)

### 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:

```yaml
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:

![column configuration small-full-small](images/column-configuration-1.png)

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

![column configuration small-full-small](images/column-configuration-2.png)

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

![column configuration small-full-small](images/column-configuration-3.png)

```yaml
columns:
  - size: full
    widgets: ...
  - size: full
    widgets: ...
```

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

```yaml
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 |
| title-url | string | no |
| cache | string | no |
| css-class | string | no |

#### `type`
Used to specify the widget.

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

#### `title-url`
The URL to go to when clicking on the widget's title. If left blank it will be defined by the widget (if available).

#### `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:

```yaml
cache: 30s # 30 seconds
cache: 5m  # 5 minutes
cache: 2h  # 2 hours
cache: 1d  # 1 day
```

> [!NOTE]
>
> Not all widgets can have their cache duration modified. The calendar and weather widgets update on the hour and this cannot be changed.

#### `css-class`
Set custom CSS classes for the specific widget instance.

### RSS
Display a list of articles from multiple RSS feeds.

Example:

```yaml
- type: rss
  title: News
  style: horizontal-cards
  feeds:
    - url: https://feeds.bloomberg.com/markets/news.rss
      title: Bloomberg
    - url: https://moxie.foxbusiness.com/google-publisher/markets.xml
      title: Fox Business
    - url: https://moxie.foxbusiness.com/google-publisher/technology.xml
      title: Fox Business
```

#### Properties
| Name | Type | Required | Default |
| ---- | ---- | -------- | ------- |
| style | string | no | vertical-list |
| feeds | array | yes |
| thumbnail-height | float | no | 10 |
| card-height | float | no | 27 |
| limit | integer | no | 25 |
| preserve-order | bool | no | false |
| single-line-titles | boolean | no | false |
| collapse-after | integer | no | 5 |

##### `limit`
The maximum number of articles to show.

##### `collapse-after`
How many articles are visible before the "SHOW MORE" button appears. Set to `-1` to never collapse.

##### `preserve-order`
When set to `true`, the order of the articles will be preserved as they are in the feeds. Useful if a feed uses its own sorting order which denotes the importance of the articles. If you use this property while having a lot of feeds, it's recommended to set a `limit` to each individual feed since if the first defined feed has 15 articles, the articles from the second feed will start after the 15th article in the list.

##### `single-line-titles`
When set to `true`, truncates the title of each post if it exceeds one line. Only applies when the style is set to `vertical-list`.

##### `style`
Used to change the appearance of the widget. Possible values are:

* `vertical-list` - suitable for `full` and `small` columns
* `detailed-list` - suitable for `full` columns
* `horizontal-cards` - suitable for `full` columns
* `horizontal-cards-2` - suitable for `full` columns

Below is a preview of each style:

`vertical-list`

![preview of vertical-list style for RSS widget](images/rss-feed-vertical-list-preview.png)

`detailed-list`

![preview of detailed-list style for RSS widget](images/rss-widget-detailed-list-preview.png)

`horizontal-cards`

![preview of horizontal-cards style for RSS widget](images/rss-feed-horizontal-cards-preview.png)

`horizontal-cards-2`

![preview of horizontal-cards-2 style for RSS widget](images/rss-widget-horizontal-cards-2-preview.png)

##### `thumbnail-height`
Used to modify the height of the thumbnails. Works only when the style is set to `horizontal-cards`. The default value is `10` and the units are `rem`, if you want to for example double the height of the thumbnails you can set it to `20`.

##### `card-height`
Used to modify the height of cards when using the `horizontal-cards-2` style. The default value is `27` and the units are `rem`.

##### `feeds`
An array of RSS/atom feeds. The title can optionally be changed.

###### Properties for each feed
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Notes |
| ---- | ---- | -------- | ------- | ----- |
| url | string | yes | | |
| title | string | no | the title provided by the feed | |
| hide-categories | boolean | no | false | Only applicable for `detailed-list` style |
| hide-description | boolean | no | false | Only applicable for `detailed-list` style |
| limit | integer | no | | |
| item-link-prefix | string | no | | |
| headers | key (string) & value (string) | no | | |

###### `limit`
The maximum number of articles to show from that specific feed. Useful if you have a feed which posts a lot of articles frequently and you want to prevent it from excessively pushing down articles from other feeds.

###### `item-link-prefix`
If an RSS feed isn't returning item links with a base domain and Glance has failed to automatically detect the correct domain you can manually add a prefix to each link with this property.

###### `headers`
Optionally specify the headers that will be sent with the request. Example:

```yaml
- type: rss
  feeds:
    - url: https://domain.com/rss
      headers:
        User-Agent: Custom User Agent
```

### Videos
Display a list of the latest videos from specific YouTube channels.

Example:

```yaml
- type: videos
  channels:
    - UCXuqSBlHAE6Xw-yeJA0Tunw
    - UCBJycsmduvYEL83R_U4JriQ
    - UCHnyfMqiRRG1u-2MsSQLbXA
```

| include-shorts | boolean | no | false |
| video-url-template | string | no | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={VIDEO-ID} |

##### `channels`
A list of channels IDs.

One way of getting the ID of a channel is going to the channel's page and clicking on its description:

![](images/videos-channel-description-example.png)

Then scroll down and click on "Share channel", then "Copy channel ID":

![](images/videos-copy-channel-id-example.png)

##### `playlists`

A list of playlist IDs:

```yaml

    - PL8mG-RkN2uTxTK4m_Vl2dYR9yE41kRdBg
```

##### `limit`
The maximum number of videos to show.

##### `collapse-after`
Specify the number of videos to show when using the `vertical-list` style before the "SHOW MORE" button appears.

##### `collapse-after-rows`

##### `style`
Used to change the appearance of the widget. Possible values are `horizontal-cards`, `vertical-list` and `grid-cards`.

Preview of `vertical-list`:

![](images/videos-widget-vertical-list-preview.png)

Preview of `grid-cards`:

![](images/videos-widget-grid-cards-preview.png)

##### `video-url-template`
Used to replace the default link for videos. Useful when you're running your own YouTube front-end. Example:

```yaml
video-url-template: https://invidious.your-domain.com/watch?v={VIDEO-ID}
```

Placeholders:

`{VIDEO-ID}` - the ID of the video

### Hacker News
Display a list of posts from [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/).

Example:

#### Properties
| Name | Type | Required | Default |
| ---- | ---- | -------- | ------- |
| limit | integer | no | 15 |
| collapse-after | integer | no | 5 |
| comments-url-template | string | no | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id={POST-ID} |
| sort-by | string | no | top |
| extra-sort-by | string | no | |

##### `comments-url-template`
Used to replace the default link for post comments. Useful if you want to use an alternative front-end. Example:

```yaml
comments-url-template: https://www.hckrnws.com/stories/{POST-ID}
```

Placeholders:

`{POST-ID}` - the ID of the post

##### `sort-by`
Used to specify the order in which the posts should get returned. Possible values are `top`, `new`, and `best`.

##### `extra-sort-by`
Can be used to specify an additional sort which will be applied on top of the already sorted posts. By default does not apply any extra sorting and the only available option is `engagement`.

The `engagement` sort tries to place the posts with the most points and comments on top, also prioritizing recent over old posts.

### Lobsters
Display a list of posts from [Lobsters](https://lobste.rs).

Example:

```yaml
- type: lobsters
  sort-by: hot
  tags:
    - go

##### `custom-url`
A custom URL to retrieve lobsters posts from. If this is specified, the `instance-url`, `sort-by` and `tags` properties are ignored.

##### `limit`
The maximum number of posts to show.

##### `collapse-after`
How many posts are visible before the "SHOW MORE" button appears. Set to `-1` to never collapse.

##### `sort-by`
The sort order in which posts are returned. Possible options are `hot` and `new`.

##### `tags`
Limit to posts containing one of the given tags. **You cannot specify a sort order when filtering by tags, it will default to `hot`.**

### Reddit
Display a list of posts from a specific subreddit.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Reddit does not allow unauthorized API access from VPS IPs, if you're hosting Glance on a VPS you will get a 403 response. As a workaround you can route the traffic from Glance through a VPN or your own HTTP proxy using the `request-url-template` property.

Example:

```yaml
- type: reddit
  subreddit: technology
```

#### Properties
| Name | Type | Required | Default |
| ---- | ---- | -------- | ------- |
| subreddit | string | yes |  |
| style | string | no | vertical-list |
| show-thumbnails | boolean | no | false |
| show-flairs | boolean | no | false |
| limit | integer | no | 15 |
| collapse-after | integer | no | 5 |
| comments-url-template | string | no | https://www.reddit.com/{POST-PATH} |
| request-url-template | string | no |  |
| proxy | string or multiple parameters | no |  |

| top-period | string | no | day |
| search | string | no | |
| extra-sort-by | string | no | |

##### `subreddit`
The subreddit for which to fetch the posts from.

##### `style`
Used to change the appearance of the widget. Possible values are `vertical-list`, `horizontal-cards` and `vertical-cards`. The first two were designed for full columns and the last for small columns.

`vertical-list`

![](images/reddit-widget-preview.png)

`horizontal-cards`

![](images/reddit-widget-horizontal-cards-preview.png)

`vertical-cards`

![](images/reddit-widget-vertical-cards-preview.png)

##### `show-thumbnails`
Shows or hides thumbnails next to the post. This only works if the `style` is `vertical-list`. Preview:

![](images/reddit-widget-vertical-list-thumbnails.png)

> [!NOTE]
>
> Thumbnails don't work for some subreddits due to Reddit's API not returning the thumbnail URL. No workaround for this yet.

##### `show-flairs`
Shows post flairs when set to `true`.

##### `limit`
The maximum number of posts to show.

##### `collapse-after`
How many posts are visible before the "SHOW MORE" button appears. Set to `-1` to never collapse. Not available when using the `vertical-cards` and `horizontal-cards` styles.

##### `comments-url-template`
Used to replace the default link for post comments. Useful if you want to use the old Reddit design or any other 3rd party front-end. Example:

```yaml
comments-url-template: https://old.reddit.com/{POST-PATH}
```

Placeholders:

`{POST-PATH}` - the full path to the post, such as:

```
r/selfhosted/comments/bsp01i/welcome_to_rselfhosted_please_read_this_first/
```

`{POST-ID}` - the ID that comes after `/comments/`

`{SUBREDDIT}` - the subreddit name

##### `request-url-template`
A custom request URL that will be used to fetch the data. This is useful when you're hosting Glance on a VPS where Reddit is blocking the requests and you want to route them through a proxy that accepts the URL as either a part of the path or a query parameter.

Placeholders:

`{REQUEST-URL}` - will be templated and replaced with the expanded request URL (i.e. https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/hot.json). Example:

```
https://proxy/{REQUEST-URL}
https://your.proxy/?url={REQUEST-URL}
```

##### `proxy`
A custom HTTP/HTTPS proxy URL that will be used to fetch the data. This is useful when you're hosting Glance on a VPS where Reddit is blocking the requests and you want to bypass the restriction by routing the requests through a proxy. Example:

```yaml
proxy: http://user:pass@proxy.com:8080
proxy: https://user:pass@proxy.com:443
```

Alternatively, you can specify the proxy URL as well as additional options by using multiple parameters:

```yaml
proxy:
  url: http://proxy.com:8080
  allow-insecure: true
  timeout: 10s
```

###### `allow-insecure`
When set to `true`, allows the use of insecure connections such as when the proxy has a self-signed certificate.

###### `timeout`
The maximum time to wait for a response from the proxy. The value is a string and must be a number followed by one of s, m, h, d. Example: `10s` for 10 seconds, `1m` for 1 minute, etc

##### `sort-by`
Can be used to specify the order in which the posts should get returned. Possible values are `hot`, `new`, `top` and `rising`.

##### `top-period`
Available only when `sort-by` is set to `top`. Possible values are `hour`, `day`, `week`, `month`, `year` and `all`.

##### `search`
Keywords to search for. Searching within specific fields is also possible, **though keep in mind that Reddit may remove the ability to use any of these at any time**:

![](images/reddit-field-search.png)

##### `extra-sort-by`
Can be used to specify an additional sort which will be applied on top of the already sorted posts. By default does not apply any extra sorting and the only available option is `engagement`.

The `engagement` sort tries to place the posts with the most points and comments on top, also prioritizing recent over old posts.

### Search Widget
Display a search bar that can be used to search for specific terms on various search engines.

Example:

```yaml
- type: search
  search-engine: duckduckgo
  bangs:
    - title: YouTube
      shortcut: "!yt"
      url: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query={QUERY}
```

Preview:

![](images/search-widget-preview.png)

#### Keyboard shortcuts
| Keys | Action | Condition |
| ---- | ------ | --------- |
| <kbd>S</kbd> | Focus the search bar | Not already focused on another input field |
| <kbd>Enter</kbd> | Perform search in the same tab | Search input is focused and not empty |
| <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> | Perform search in a new tab | Search input is focused and not empty |
| <kbd>Escape</kbd> | Leave focus | Search input is focused |
| <kbd>Up</kbd> | Insert the last search query since the page was opened into the input field | Search input is focused |

> [!TIP]
>
> You can use the property `new-tab` with a value of `true` if you want to show search results in a new tab by default. <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> will then show results in the same tab.

#### Properties
| Name | Type | Required | Default |
| ---- | ---- | -------- | ------- |
| search-engine | string | no | duckduckgo |
| new-tab | boolean | no | false |
| autofocus | boolean | no | false |
| placeholder | string | no | Type here to search… |
| bangs | array | no | |

##### `search-engine`
Either a value from the table below or a URL to a custom search engine. Use `{QUERY}` to indicate where the query value gets placed.

| Name | URL |
| ---- | --- |
| duckduckgo | `https://duckduckgo.com/?q={QUERY}` |
| google | `https://www.google.com/search?q={QUERY}` |

##### `new-tab`
When set to `true`, swaps the shortcuts for showing results in the same or new tab, defaulting to showing results in a new tab.

##### `autofocus`
When set to `true`, automatically focuses the search input on page load.

##### `placeholder`
When set, modifies the text displayed in the input field before typing.

##### `bangs`
What now? [Bangs](https://duckduckgo.com/bangs). They're shortcuts that allow you to use the same search box for many different sites. Assuming you have it configured, if for example you start your search input with `!yt` you'd be able to perform a search on YouTube:

![](images/search-widget-bangs-preview.png)

##### Properties for each bang
| Name | Type | Required |
| ---- | ---- | -------- |
| title | string | no |
| shortcut | string | yes |
| url | string | yes |

###### `title`
Optional title that will appear on the right side of the search bar when the query starts with the associated shortcut.

###### `shortcut`
Any value you wish to use as the shortcut for the search engine. It does not have to start with `!`.

> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> In YAML some characters have special meaning when placed in the beginning of a value. If your shortcut starts with `!` (and potentially some other special characters) you'll have to wrap the value in quotes:
> ```yaml
> shortcut: "!yt"
>```

###### `url`
The URL of the search engine. Use `{QUERY}` to indicate where the query value gets placed. Examples:

```yaml
url: https://www.reddit.com/search?q={QUERY}
url: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?term={QUERY}
url: https://www.amazon.com/s?k={QUERY}
```

### Group
Group multiple widgets into one using tabs. Widgets are defined using a `widgets` property exactly as you would on a page column. The only limitation is that you cannot place a group widget or a split column widget within a group widget.

Example:

```yaml
- type: group
  widgets:
    - type: reddit
      subreddit: gamingnews
      show-thumbnails: true
      collapse-after: 6
    - type: reddit
      subreddit: games
    - type: reddit
      subreddit: pcgaming
      show-thumbnails: true
```

Preview:

![](images/group-widget-preview.png)

#### Sharing properties

To avoid repetition you can use [YAML anchors](https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/yaml-anchors/) and share properties between widgets.

Example:

```yaml
- type: group
  define: &shared-properties
      type: reddit
      show-thumbnails: true
      collapse-after: 6
  widgets:
    - subreddit: gamingnews
      <<: *shared-properties
    - subreddit: games
      <<: *shared-properties
    - subreddit: pcgaming
      <<: *shared-properties
```

### Split Column
Splits a full sized column in half, allowing you to place widgets side by side horizontally. This is converted to a single column on mobile devices or if not enough width is available. Widgets are defined using a `widgets` property exactly as you would on a page column.

Two widgets side by side in a `full` column:

![](images/split-column-widget-preview.png)

<details>
<summary>View <code>glance.yml</code></summary>
<br>

```yaml
# ...
- size: full
  widgets:
    - type: split-column
      widgets:
        - type: hacker-news
          collapse-after: 3
        - type: lobsters
          collapse-after: 3

    - type: videos
# ...
```
</details>
<br>

You can also achieve a number of different full page layouts using just this widget, such as:

3 column layout where all columns have equal width:

![](images/split-column-widget-3-columns.png)

<details>
<summary>View <code>glance.yml</code></summary>
<br>

```yaml
pages:
  - name: Home
    columns:
      - size: full
        widgets:
          - type: split-column
            max-columns: 3
            widgets:
              - type: reddit
                subreddit: selfhosted
                collapse-after: 15
              - type: reddit
                subreddit: homelab
                collapse-after: 15
              - type: reddit
                subreddit: sysadmin
                collapse-after: 15
```
</details>
<br>

4 column layout where all columns have equal width (and the page is set to `width: wide`):

![](images/split-column-widget-4-columns.png)

<details>
<summary>View <code>glance.yml</code></summary>
<br>

```yaml

        widgets:
          - type: split-column
            max-columns: 4
            widgets:
              - type: reddit
                subreddit: selfhosted
                collapse-after: 15
              - type: reddit
                subreddit: homelab
                collapse-after: 15
              - type: reddit
                subreddit: linux
                collapse-after: 15
              - type: reddit
                subreddit: sysadmin
                collapse-after: 15
```
</details>
<br>

Masonry layout with up to 5 columns where all columns have equal width (and the page is set to `width: wide`):

![](images/split-column-widget-masonry.png)

<details>
<summary>View <code>glance.yml</code></summary>
<br>

```yaml
define:
  - &subreddit-settings
    type: reddit
    collapse-after: 5

pages:
  - name: Home
    width: wide
    columns:
      - size: full
        widgets:
          - type: split-column
            max-columns: 5
            widgets:
              - subreddit: selfhosted
                <<: *subreddit-settings
              - subreddit: homelab
                <<: *subreddit-settings
              - subreddit: linux
                <<: *subreddit-settings
              - subreddit: sysadmin
                <<: *subreddit-settings
              - subreddit: DevOps
                <<: *subreddit-settings
              - subreddit: Networking
                <<: *subreddit-settings
              - subreddit: DataHoarding
                <<: *subreddit-settings
              - subreddit: OpenSource
                <<: *subreddit-settings
              - subreddit: Privacy
                <<: *subreddit-settings
              - subreddit: FreeSoftware
                <<: *subreddit-settings
```
</details>
<br>

Just like the `group` widget, you can insert any widget type, you can even insert a `group` widget inside of a `split-column` widget, but you can't insert a `split-column` widget inside of a `group` widget.


### Custom API

Display data from a JSON API using a custom template.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The configuration of this widget requires some basic knowledge of programming, HTML, CSS, the Go template language and Glance-specific concepts.

#### Properties
| Name | Type | Required | Default |
| ---- | ---- | -------- | ------- |
| url | string | yes | |
| headers | key (string) & value (string) | no | |
| frameless | boolean | no | false |
| template | string | yes | |

##### `url`
The URL to fetch the data from. It must be accessible from the server that Glance is running on.

##### `headers`
Optionally specify the headers that will be sent with the request. Example:

```yaml
headers:
  x-api-key: your-api-key
  Accept: application/json
```

##### `frameless`
When set to `true`, removes the border and padding around the widget.

##### `template`
The template that will be used to display the data. It relies on Go's `html/template` package so it's recommended to go through [its documentation](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template) to understand how to do basic things such as conditionals, loops, etc. In addition, it also uses [tidwall's gjson](https://github.com/tidwall/gjson) package to parse the JSON data so it's worth going through its documentation if you want to use more advanced JSON selectors. You can view additional examples with explanations and function definitions [here](custom-api.md).

### Extension
Display a widget provided by an external source (3rd party). If you want to learn more about developing extensions, checkout the [extensions documentation](extensions.md) (WIP).

```yaml
- type: extension
  url: https://domain.com/widget/display-a-message
  allow-potentially-dangerous-html: true
  parameters:
    message: Hello, world!
```

#### Properties
| Name | Type | Required | Default |
| ---- | ---- | -------- | ------- |
| url | string | yes | |
| fallback-content-type | string | no | |
| allow-potentially-dangerous-html | boolean | no | false |
| parameters | key & value | no | |

##### `url`
The URL of the extension. **Note that the query gets stripped from this URL and the one defined by `parameters` gets used instead.**

##### `fallback-content-type`
Optionally specify the fallback content type of the extension if the URL does not return a valid `Widget-Content-Type` header. Currently the only supported value for this property is `html`.

##### `allow-potentially-dangerous-html`
Whether to allow the extension to display HTML.

> [!WARNING]
>
> There's a reason this property is scary-sounding. It's intended to be used by developers who are comfortable with developing and using their own extensions. Do not enable it if you have no idea what it means or if you're not **absolutely sure** that the extension URL you're using is safe.

##### `parameters`
A list of keys and values that will be sent to the extension as query paramters.

### Weather
Display weather information for a specific location. The data is provided by https://open-meteo.com/.

Example:

```yaml
- type: weather
  units: metric
  hour-format: 12h
  location: London, United Kingdom
```

> [!NOTE]
>
> US cities which have common names can have their state specified as the second parameter as such:
>
> * Greenville, North Carolina, United States
> * Greenville, South Carolina, United States
> * Greenville, Mississippi, United States


Preview:

![](images/weather-widget-preview.png)

Each bar represents a 2 hour interval. The yellow background represents sunrise and sunset. The blue dots represent the times of the day where there is a high chance for precipitation. You can hover over the bars to view the exact temperature for that time.

#### Properties

| Name | Type | Required | Default |
| ---- | ---- | -------- | ------- |
| location | string | yes |  |
| units | string | no | metric |
| hour-format | string | no | 12h |
| hide-location | boolean | no | false |
| show-area-name | boolean | no | false |

##### `location`
The name of the city and country to fetch weather information for. Attempting to launch the applcation with an invalid location will result in an error. You can use the [gecoding API page](https://open-meteo.com/en/docs/geocoding-api) to search for your specific location. Glance will use the first result from the list if there are multiple.

##### `units`
Whether to show the temperature in celsius or fahrenheit, possible values are `metric` or `imperial`.

#### `hour-format`
Whether to show the hours of the day in 12-hour format or 24-hour format. Possible values are `12h` and `24h`.

##### `hide-location`
Optionally don't display the location name on the widget.

##### `show-area-name`
Whether to display the state/administrative area in the location name. If set to `true` the location will be displayed as:

```
Greenville, North Carolina, United States
```

Otherwise, if set to `false` (which is the default) it'll be displayed as:

```
Greenville, United States
```

### Monitor
Display a list of sites and whether they are reachable (online) or not. This is determined by sending a GET request to the specified URL, if the response is 200 then the site is OK. The time it took to receive a response is also shown in milliseconds.

Example:

```yaml
- type: monitor
  cache: 1m
  title: Services
  sites:
    - title: Jellyfin
      url: https://jellyfin.yourdomain.com
      icon: /assets/jellyfin-logo.png
    - title: Gitea
      url: https://gitea.yourdomain.com
      icon: /assets/gitea-logo.png
    - title: Immich
      url: https://immich.yourdomain.com
      icon: /assets/immich-logo.png
    - title: AdGuard Home
      url: https://adguard.yourdomain.com
      icon: /assets/adguard-logo.png
    - title: Vaultwarden
      url: https://vault.yourdomain.com
      icon: /assets/vaultwarden-logo.png

```

Preview:

![](images/monitor-widget-preview.png)

#### Properties

| Name | Type | Required | Default |
| ---- | ---- | -------- | ------- |
| sites | array | yes | |
| style | string | no | |
| show-failing-only | boolean | no | false |

##### `show-failing-only`
Shows only a list of failing sites when set to `true`.

##### `style`
Used to change the appearance of the widget. Possible values are `compact`.

Preview of `compact`:

![](images/monitor-widget-compact-preview.png)

##### `sites`

Properties for each site:

| Name | Type | Required | Default |
| ---- | ---- | -------- | ------- |
| title | string | yes | |

| error-url | string | no | |
| icon | string | no | |
| allow-insecure | boolean | no | false |
| same-tab | boolean | no | false |
| alt-status-codes | array | no | |

`title`

The title used to indicate the site.

`url`

The public facing URL of a monitored service, the user will be redirected here. If `check-url` is not specified, this is used as the status check.

`check-url`

The URL which will be requested and its response will determine the status of the site. If not specified, the `url` property is used.

`error-url`

If the monitored service returns an error, the user will be redirected here. If not specified, the `url` property is used.

`icon`

Optional URL to an image which will be used as the icon for the site. Can be an external URL or internal via [server configured assets](#assets-path). You can also directly use [Simple Icons](https://simpleicons.org/) via a `si:` prefix or [Dashboard Icons](https://github.com/walkxcode/dashboard-icons) via a `di:` prefix:

```yaml
icon: si:jellyfin
icon: si:gitea
icon: si:adguard
```

> [!WARNING]
>
> Simple Icons are loaded externally and are hosted on `cdn.jsdelivr.net`, if you do not wish to depend on a 3rd party you are free to download the icons individually and host them locally.

`allow-insecure`

Whether to ignore invalid/self-signed certificates.

`same-tab`

Whether to open the link in the same or a new tab.

`alt-status-codes`

Status codes other than 200 that you want to return "OK".

##### `repositories`
A list of repositores to fetch the latest release for. Only the name/repo is required, not the full URL. A prefix can be specified for repositories hosted elsewhere such as GitLab, Codeberg and Docker Hub. Example:

```yaml
repositories:
  - gitlab:inkscape/inkscape
  - dockerhub:glanceapp/glance
  - codeberg:redict/redict
```

Official images on Docker Hub can be specified by omitting the owner:

```yaml

You can also specify exact tags for Docker Hub images:

```yaml
repositories:
  - dockerhub:nginx:latest
  - dockerhub:nginx:stable-alpine
```

To include prereleases you can specify the repository as an object and use the `include-prereleases` property:

**Note: This feature is currently only available for GitHub repositories.**

```yaml
repositories:
  - gitlab:inkscape/inkscape
  - repository: glanceapp/glance
    include-prereleases: true
  - codeberg:redict/redict
```

##### `show-source-icon`
Shows an icon of the source (GitHub/GitLab/Codeberg/Docker Hub) next to the repository name when set to `true`.

##### `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](https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new) 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:

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

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

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

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

##### `gitlab-token`
Same as the above but used when fetching GitLab releases.

##### `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.

### Docker Containers

Display the status of your Docker containers along with an icon and an optional short description.

![](images/docker-containers-preview.png)

```yaml
- type: docker-containers
  hide-by-default: false
```

> [!NOTE]
>
> The widget requires access to `docker.sock`. If you're running Glance inside a container, this can be done by mounting the socket as a volume:
>
> ```yaml
> services:
>   glance:
>     image: glanceapp/glance
>     volumes:
>       - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
> ```

Configuration of the containers is done via labels applied to each container:

```yaml
  jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
    labels:
      glance.name: Jellyfin
      glance.icon: si:jellyfin
      glance.url: https://jellyfin.domain.com
      glance.description: Movies & shows
```

For services with multiple containers you can specify a `glance.id` on the "main" container and `glance.parent` on each "child" container:

<details>
<summary>View <code>docker-compose.yml</code></summary>
<br>

```yaml
services:
  immich-server:
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server
    labels:
      glance.name: Immich
      glance.icon: si:immich
      glance.url: https://immich.domain.com
      glance.description: Image & video management
      glance.id: immich

  redis:
    image: docker.io/redis:6.2-alpine
    labels:
      glance.parent: immich
      glance.name: Redis

  database:
    image: docker.io/tensorchord/pgvecto-rs:pg14-v0.2.0
    labels:
      glance.parent: immich
      glance.name: DB

  proxy:
    image: nginx:stable
    labels:
      glance.parent: immich
      glance.name: Proxy
```
</details>
<br>

This will place all child containers under the `Immich` container when hovering over its icon:

![](images/docker-container-parent.png)

If any of the child containers are down, their status will propagate up to the parent container:

![](images/docker-container-parent2.png)

Preview:

![](images/server-stats-preview.gif)

> [!NOTE]
>
> This widget is currently under development, some features might not function as expected or may change.

To display data from a remote server you need to have the Glance Agent running on that server. You can download the agent from [here](https://github.com/glanceapp/agent), though keep in mind that it is still in development and may not work as expected. Support for other providers such as Glances will be added in the future.

In the event that the CPU temperature goes over 80°C, a flame icon will appear next to the CPU. The progress indicators will also turn red (or the equivalent of your negative color) to hopefully grab your attention if anything is unusually high:
