I installed Dashy a couple of days ago and have got things pretty much how I want them I think. There is more off the bottom of the screen but this screen shot shows the main things I need.
I’ve set the stats widgets to auto-collapse on load so they don’t take up the entire screen, and I’m pulling those from Glances running on my ProxMox server.
Really impressed with Dashy, and how easy it is to configure and customise.
Dashy is so impressive. It’s too bad it’s not easier to configure. I went through quite a few dashboards before finding Dashy and it’s easily my favorite. I just wish they had drag and drop and fixed some of the more game breaking bugs. That said it’s still my favorite
Drag and drop would be useful. Editing the conf.yml file isn’t too bad unless you accidentally mess up the spacing but I make backups before editing just in case.
Now I’ve got it pretty much how I want it I’ll probably only be editing the config every so often. Adding new items is easy enough in the GUI, it’s only really widgets etc where I had to get my hands dirty.
Editing is very finicky in my experience. For example, creating a dashboard with multiple pages. It’s poorly documented, and after setting that up, changes don’t propagate very well, making you wait several minutes or more to see the changes much of the time. I spent hours across multiple days trying to get it set up. Once I got it set up I was very happy with it. Unfortunately I will most likely have to go through that again
