Usage

Using Docker

  1. Create docker-compose.yaml

    Create a docker-compose.yaml file in your project directory:

    services:
      walauncher:
        image: filiprojek/walauncher:latest
        container_name: walauncher
        ports:
          - 5200:80
        volumes:
          - ./walauncher/config.json:/var/www/html/config.json
          - ./walauncher/img/:/var/www/html/img/
        restart: unless-stopped
  2. Start and Stop the Compose

    Start the containers:

    docker-compose up -d

    Stop the containers:

    docker-compose down
  3. Configuration

    • cd to a newly created walauncher folder

    • Remove the config.json folder if it exists.

    • Create a config.json file in the project root with the following structure:

      {
          "apps": [
              {
                  "name": "Some service",
                  "img": "image_name.jpg",
                  "url": "http://localhost:8000/"
              },
              {
                  "name": "Some service",
                  "img": "image_name.jpg",
                  "url": "http://localhost:8100/"
              }
          ]
      }

    Replace "Some service", "image_name.jpg", and "http://localhost:8000/" with your own service names, image filenames in the img/ folder, and their respective URLs.

  4. Upload Icons and Images

    Upload your service icons (.svg, .jpg, etc.) to the walauncher/img/ folder.

Manual Setup (Without Docker)

  1. Setup Web Server

    Download the repository and serve it using a web server of your choice (e.g., Apache, Nginx).

  2. Configuration

    • Create a config.json file in the project root with the following structure:

      {
          "apps": [
              {
                  "name": "Some service",
                  "img": "image_name.jpg",
                  "url": "http://localhost:8000/"
              },
              {
                  "name": "Some service",
                  "img": "image_name.jpg",
                  "url": "http://localhost:8100/"
              }
          ]
      }

    Replace "Some service", "image_name.jpg", and "http://localhost:8000/" with your own service names, image filenames in the img/ folder, and their respective URLs.

  3. Upload Icons and Images

    Upload your service icons (.svg, .jpg, etc.) to the img/ folder in the project root.

  4. Start the Web Server

Configuration

WALauncher supports additional optional configuration options to enhance customization. These options allow you to modify the behavior and appearance of the web application by adding an options object in the config.json file

Example config.json with Options

{
    "apps": [
        {
            "name": "Some service",
            "img": "image_name.jpg",
            "url": "http://localhost:8000/"
        },
        {
            "name": "Some service",
            "img": "image_name.jpg",
            "url": "http://localhost:8100/"
        }
    ],
    "options": {
        "footer": true,
        "footertext": "Your customized footer where you can use <strong>HTML</strong>",
        "title": "My Home Launcher"
    }
}

Options

  • footer (boolean, default: true): Control the visibility of the footer.

    • Set footer to false to hide the footer completely from the site.
  • footertext (string, optional): Customize the content of the footer.

    • Use this option to provide custom text for the footer. You can use HTML for formatting.
  • title (string, optional): Customize the document title.

    • Change title to another value to customize the title displayed in the browser's title bar.
