Glance¶

Glance is a homepage builder with plenty of integrations.

There is an official image for this service that we'll use: glanceapp/glance.

Pre-Installation¶

We'll create a folder in the main user's home where all the service's data will be saved.

mkdir ~/services/management/glance

Docker Compose¶

Glance will be run using Docker Compose. The content of the docker-compose.yml file is as follows:

services:
  web:
    image: glanceapp/glance:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      default:
      proxy_external:
        aliases:
          - glance
    volumes:
      - ./glance.yml:/app/glance.yml
      - ./assets:/app/assets
    environment:
      TZ: America/Guayaquil
      GITHUB_TOKEN: GITHUB_TOKEN_HERE
    labels:
      traefik.enable: true
      traefik.docker.network: proxy_external
      traefik.http.routers.glance.rule: Host(`subdomain.example.com`)
      traefik.http.routers.glance.entrypoints: tunnel
      traefik.http.routers.glance.service: glance@docker
      traefik.http.services.glance.loadbalancer.server.port: 8080

networks:
  proxy_external:
    external: true

Reverse Proxy¶

This service is exposed by a reverse proxy. More specifically, it is using Traefik.

For this reason, you will see that this service has:

1. A directive to connect it to the proxy_external external network.
2. A container alias for the proxy_external network.
3. A number of labels with names starting with traefik.

If you're not using a reverse proxy, feel free to remove these from the docker-compose.yml file. Keep in mind you might need to bind the ports to connect to the service instead.

Post Configuration¶

To configure this, make sure to create a glance.yml file. Check out the documentation to see what you can add.

Running¶

Start up the service with:

docker compose up -d

That's it! The service will auto-start on system startup and restart on failure.
