Configuration
Dash is configured from the UI. The only environment the server understands:
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
DASH_PORT |
8080 (3000 in Docker) |
listen port |
DASH_DATA_DIR |
./data (/data in Docker) |
SQLite + uploaded icons |
DASH_DEV |
unset | 1 = dev mode: API only, no embedded UI |
Data directory
data/
dash.db # SQLite — boards, monitors, domains, systems, ops
icons/ # uploaded service icons
Back up the directory to back up everything. /api/export produces a JSON
snapshot; /api/import/csv bulk-loads monitors and domains from CSV.
Notifications
Settings → Notifications holds one generic webhook URL
(notify_webhook). On monitor up/down transitions and domain events, Dash
POSTs a JSON payload with event, name, text, content, message, and
at fields — shaped so Slack, Discord, and ntfy all render it sensibly.
Test sends a test event. Delivery is async and non-fatal; failures are
logged.
Monitors
HTTP(s), TCP, ping (ICMP), DNS, keyword, JSON-path, and push types. Per-monitor
interval, timeout, retries, headers/method/body, expected values, tags, and
notes. Push monitors expose POST /api/push/:token for cron-style jobs — the
monitor goes down if no push arrives within the expected window.
Domains
WHOIS (RDAP first, TCP WHOIS fallback), DNS records, TLS certificate chain, and provider detection run daily and on demand. Expiry and certificate deadlines surface in the UI and through notifications.
Systems
Bearer-token push ingest at POST /api/systems/ingest. A system is marked
offline when no sample arrives within a few intervals. Stats are pruned during
the hourly sweep.
Operations
- Incidents — open/ack/resolve/close, with per-incident update timeline. A monitor going down opens an incident automatically; recovery resolves it.
- Maintenance windows — suppress monitor alerts for the window's scope.
- Status pages — public, unauthenticated views at
/status/:sluglisting selected monitors and systems with live state. - Badges —
GET /api/badge/monitor/:id.svgandGET /api/badge/domain/:id.svgfor embedding status shields. - Metrics —
GET /api/metricsin Prometheus exposition format.
Importers
Settings → Import accepts:
- Dash JSON export (full board restore)
- Homepage
services.yml - Homarr board JSON
- Dashy
conf.yml - CSV of monitors/domains (
/api/import/csv)
Foreign formats map onto sections, items, and URLs; unknown fields are dropped.
