Where Does Homer Store config.yml?
Where the Homer dashboard keeps config.yml, icons and assets.
Last updated
Homer is fully static: one assets directory with config.yml for services plus icons and logos beside it, mounted at /www/assets in Docker. No database exists to back up.
INIT_ASSETS seeds a starter config on writable mounts. Tar the assets folder for backups; that archive restores any Homer anywhere. Validate YAML after edits since one indent error blanks the page.
Where Homer stores this, by platform
<homer assets>/config.yml
Assets mount with config.yml, icons and logos. The container is stateless; the folder is the whole backup. Fix UID 1000 ownership when the sample config fails to install.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Homer to a new server?
Copy the assets directory (config.yml plus icons and logos) to the new /www/assets mount. The container holds zero state, so the folder is the entire migration.
Homer shows a blank page in Docker. Why?
Check mount ownership for UID 1000 and the INIT_ASSETS flag. Read-only or wrongly owned mounts block the sample config install, leaving a blank dashboard with log complaints.
