Glance — a self-hosted dashboard that puts your feeds, weather, markets, calendars, server stats, and service widgets on one fast, config-driven page. Deployed as a stateless host-networked Nomad service with its config rendered from variables.
Save as values.hcl, edit, then run:

# The Nomad namespace to deploy into.
namespace = "default"
# The datacenters to deploy to.

# The Glance container image. Pin a tag in production.

# Host port for the Glance dashboard.

Glance — a self-hosted dashboard that puts your
RSS feeds, weather, markets, calendar, server/Docker stats, and service widgets on a single
fast, config-driven page. A lighter, widget-focused alternative to the homepage pack.
Stateless host-networked Nomad service; the dashboard is defined by config.
nomad-pack registry add nomploy github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs
nomad-pack run glance --registry nomploy
In nomploy: create a Compose service, type Nomad Pack, pack glance, custom registry
github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs, then Deploy. Open http://<node-ip>:3009.
Set the pages variable to the pages: section of a Glance config, e.g.:
- name: Home
columns:
- size: full
widgets:
- type: clock
- type: rss
feeds:
- url: https://hnrss.org/frontpage
See the Glance configuration docs for all widgets (weather, markets, monitor, docker, custom-api, …).
