## Config not saving
|
||
|
||
### Possible Issue 1: Unable to call save endpoint from CDN/static server
|
||
If you're running Dashy using a static hosting provider (like Vercel), then there is no Node server, and so the save config action will not work via the UI.
|
||
You'll instead need to copy the YAML after making your changes, and paste that into your `conf.yml` directly. If you've connected Vercel to git, then these changes will take effect automatically, once you commit your changes.
|
||
Look here for more information: [https://dashy.to/docs/deployment#deploy-to-cloud-service](https://dashy.to/docs/deployment#deploy-to-cloud-service)
|
||
|
||
If you're running on Netlify, there are some cloud functions which take care of all the server endpoints (like status checking), so these will work as expected.
|
||
|
||
See also [#1465](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/issues/1465)
|
||
|
||
### Possible Issue 2: Unable to save
|
||
In Docker, double check that the file isn't read-only, and that the container actually has permissions to modify it. You shouldn't really be running it as a root user, and I'm not sure if it will work if you do-
|
||
|
||
### Possible Issue 3: Saved but not updating
|
||
After saving, the frontend will recompile, which may take a couple seconds (or a bit longer on a Pi or low-powered device). If it doesn't recompile, you can manually trigger a re-build.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Unable to write conf.yml: `EACCES: permission denied`
|
||
|
||
Most commonly the `conf.yml` file itself is mounted read-only, or its mode is `444`. Make it writable on the host:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
chmod 644 /path/to/your/conf.yml
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
As for backups, Dashy creates a timestamped backup of the existing config in `user-data/config-backups/` before writing the new one. If the host filesystem prevents that copy (read-only mount, wrong UID/GID, no execute bit on the parent directory), the save aborts before touching the live config.
|
||
|
||
Check that the user-data volume is writable by the container user:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
docker exec -it dashy id
|
||
docker exec -it dashy ls -la /app/user-data
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you bind-mount from the host, make sure the host directory is owned by the container's UID (or world-writable). You can also override the backup location with the `BACKUP_DIR` env var.
|
||
|
||
And, if you intentionally want a read-only config and don't want users to even attempt saves, set `appConfig.preventWriteToDisk: true` in `conf.yml` - Dashy will then disable both the endpoint, and the save button itself, to make the experience more explicit.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## `Refused to Connect` in Modal or Workspace View
|
||
|
||
This is not an issue with Dashy, but instead caused by the target app preventing direct access through embedded elements.
|
||
|
||
As defined in [RFC-7034](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7034), for any web content to be accessed through an embedded element, it must have the [`X-Frame-Options`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Frame-Options) HTTP header set to `ALLOW`. If you are getting a `Refused to Connect` error then this header is set to `DENY` (or `SAMEORIGIN` and it's on a different host). Thankfully, for self-hosted services, it is easy to set these headers.
|
||
|
||
These settings are usually set in the config file for the web server that's hosting the target application, here are some examples of how to enable cross-origin access with common web servers:
|
||
|
||
### NGINX
|
||
|
||
In NGINX, you can use the [`add_header`](https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_headers_module.html) module within the app block.
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
server {
|
||
...
|
||
add_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN always;
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then reload with `service nginx reload`
|
||
|
||
### Caddy
|
||
|
||
In Caddy, you can use the [`header`](https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/header) directive.
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
header {
|
||
X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Apache
|
||
|
||
In Apache, you can use the [`mod_headers`](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_headers.html) module to set the `X-Frame-Options` in your config file. This file is usually located somewhere like `/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
Header set X-Frame-Options: "ALLOW-FROM http://[dashy-location]/"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### LightHttpd
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' https://[dashy-location]/
|
||
```
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 404 On Static Hosting
|
||
|
||
If you're seeing Dashy's 404 page on initial load/ refresh, and then the main app when you go back to Home, then this is likely caused by the Vue router, and if so can be fixed in one of two ways.
|
||
|
||
The first solution is to switch the routing mode, from HTML5 `history` mode to `hash` mode, by rebuilding Dashy with the `VUE_APP_ROUTING_MODE=hash` build-time environment variable set.
|
||
|
||
If this works, but you wish to continue using HTML5 history mode, then a bit of extra [server configuration](/docs/management.md#web-server-configuration) is required. This is explained in more detaail in the [Vue Docs](https://router.vuejs.org/guide/essentials/history-mode.html). Once completed, you can then use `VUE_APP_ROUTING_MODE=history` (the default) again, for neater URLs.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 404 after Launch from Mobile Home Screen
|
||
|
||
Similar to the above issue, if you get a 404 after using iOS and Android's "Add to Home Screen" feature, then this is caused by Vue router.
|
||
It can be fixed by rebuilding Dashy with the `VUE_APP_ROUTING_MODE=hash` build-time environment variable set.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 404 On Multi-Page Apps
|
||
|
||
Similar to above, if you get a 404 error when visiting a page directly on multi-page apps, then this can be fixed by rebuilding Dashy with the `VUE_APP_ROUTING_MODE=hash` build-time environment variable set, then refreshing the page.
|
||

|

|
||
## Yarn Error
|
||
|
||
For more info, see [Issue #1](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/issues/1)
|
||
|
||
First of all, check that you've got yarn installed correctly - see the [yarn installation docs](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install) for more info.
|
||
|
||
If you're getting an error about scenarios, then you've likely installed the wrong yarn... (you're [not](https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/2821) the only one!). You can fix it by uninstalling, adding the correct repo, and reinstalling, for example, in Debian:
|
||
|
||
- `sudo apt remove yarn`
|
||
- `curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -`
|
||
- `echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list`
|
||
- `sudo apt update && sudo apt install yarn`
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, as a workaround, you have several options:
|
||
|
||
- Try using [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm) instead: So clone, cd, then run `npm install`, `npm run build` and `npm start`
|
||
- Try using [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started) instead, and all of the system setup and dependencies will already be taken care of. So from within the directory, just run `docker build -t lissy93/dashy .` to build, and then use docker start to run the project, e.g: `docker run -it -p 8080:8080 lissy93/dashy` (see the [deploying docs](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/deployment.md#deploy-with-docker) for more info)
|
||

||
|
||
## Remote Config Not Loading
|
||
|
||
If you've got a multi-page dashboard, and are hosting the additional config files yourself, then CORS rules will apply. A CORS error will look something like:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://example.com/raw/my-config.yml' from origin 'http://dashy.local' has been blocked by CORS policy:
|
||
No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The solution is to add the appropriate headers onto the target server, to allow it to accept requests from the origin where you're running Dashy.
|
||
|
||
If it is a remote service, that you do not have admin access to, then another option is to proxy the request. Either host your own, or use a publicly accessible service, like [allorigins.win](https://allorigins.win), e.g: `https://api.allorigins.win/raw?url=https://pastebin.com/raw/4tZpaJV5`. For git-based services specifically, there's [raw.githack.com](https://raw.githack.com/)
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## High CPU or RAM Usage on Startup
|
||
|
||
When the Dashy container first starts, it runs a Vue production build in parallel with the server. This is **a one-time cost per container start**, but it briefly uses around **1–1.5 GB of RAM and 100% of one CPU core** for anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes (depending on host speed). On Pi-class hardware or VMs with less than 1 GB of RAM, this spike can be enough to lock up the host.
|
||
|
||
**To work around it:**
|
||
|
||
1. **Allocate at least 1 GB of RAM to the container** — 2 GB is recommended on Raspberry Pi or low-powered VMs. Anything below 512 MB is unlikely to complete the first build.
|
||
2. **Set explicit Docker resource limits** so the build can't starve other services on the same host:
|
||
```yaml
|
||
services:
|
||
dashy:
|
||
image: lissy93/dashy:latest
|
||
deploy:
|
||
resources:
|
||
limits:
|
||
memory: 2g
|
||
cpus: '1.5'
|
||
```
|
||
3. **Wait it out** — once the build completes, idle CPU drops to near zero and idle RAM is typically under 100 MB. If you watch `docker stats`, you'll see the spike taper off.
|
||
4. If the spike never tapers (i.e., Dashy stays at 100% CPU forever and never serves the page), see [Heap limit Allocation failed](#ineffective-mark-compacts-near-heap-limit-allocation-failed) below — that usually means the build was killed mid-way and is being retried.
|
||
|
||

## Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed
|
||
|
||
If you see an error message, similar to:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
<--- Last few GCs --->
|
||
|
||
[61:0x74533040] 229060 ms: Mark-sweep (reduce) 127.1 (236.9) -> 127.1 (137.4) MB, 5560.7 / 0.3 ms (average mu = 0.286, current mu = 0.011) allocation failure scavenge might not succeed
|
||
|
||
<--- JS stacktrace --->
|
||
|
||
FATAL ERROR: Reached heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This is likely caused by insufficient memory allocation to the container. When the container first starts up, or has to rebuild, the memory usage spikes, and if there isn't enough memory, it may terminate. This can be specified with, for example: `--memory=1024m`. For more info, see [Docker: Runtime options with Memory, CPUs, and GPUs](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/). For more context on what the spike is, see [High CPU or RAM Usage on Startup](#high-cpu-or-ram-usage-on-startup) above.

## Command failed with signal "SIGKILL"
|
||
|
||
In Docker, this can be caused by not enough memory. When the container first starts up, or has to rebuild, the memory usage spikes, and so a larger allocation may be required. This can be specified with, for example: `--memory=1024m`. For more info, see [Docker: Runtime options with Memory, CPUs, and GPUs](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/resource_constraints/)

## Container Crashes or Restart Loop After Saving Config
|
||
|
||
If your Dashy container crashes or enters a restart loop the moment you click **Save to Disk** in the editor — particularly with logs that include something like:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
node:_http_outgoing:652
|
||
throw new ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT('set');
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
or:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
Error [ERR_STREAM_WRITE_AFTER_END]: write after end
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This was a known crash in Dashy 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 where a partial-failure code path in the save handler would call `res.end()` twice on the same response, causing Node to throw an unhandled rejection and exit the process. Docker would then restart the container, the user would save again, and the loop repeated. Several users also reported it was reliably triggered by entering edit mode while `statusCheck: true` was set, because the periodic background traffic increased the chance of overlapping responses.
|
||
|
||
**This is fixed in v3.2.13 and later**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
docker pull lissy93/dashy:latest
|
||
docker compose up -d --force-recreate
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you can't upgrade right away, the temporary workaround that worked for affected users is to set `statusCheck: false` under `appConfig` in your `conf.yml`. This reduces the trigger frequency without changing the underlying bug.
|
||
|
||

## Auth Validation Error: "should be object"
|
||
|
||
In V 1.6.5 an update was made that in the future will become a breaking change. You will need to update you config to reflect this before V 2.0.0 is released. In the meantime, your previous config will continue to function normally, but you will see a validation warning. The change means that the structure of the `appConfig.auth` object is now an object, which has a `users` property.
|
||
|
||
For more info, see [this announcement](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/discussions/177).
|
||
|
||
You can fix this by replacing:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
auth:
|
||
- user: xxx
|
||
hash: xxx
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
with
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
auth:
|
||
users:
|
||
- user: xxx
|
||
hash: xxx
|
||
```
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## App Not Starting After Update to 2.0.4
|
||
|
||
Version 2.0.4 introduced changes to how the config is read, and the app is build. If you were previously mounting `/public` as a volume, then this will over-write the build app, preventing it from starting. The solution is to just pass in the file(s) / sub-directories that you need. For example:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
volumes:
|
||
- /srv/dashy/conf.yml:/app/user-data/conf.yml
|
||
- /srv/dashy/item-icons:/app/public/item-icons
|
||
```

|
||
|
||
## Keycloak Redirect Error
|
||
|
||
Check the [browser's console output](#how-to-open-browser-console), if you've not set any headers, you will likely see a CORS error here, which would be the source of the issue.
|
||
|
||
You need to allow Dashy to make requests to Keycloak, and Keycloak to redirect to Dashy. The way you do this depends on how you're hosting these applications / which proxy you are using, and examples can be found in the [Management Docs](/docs/management.md#setting-headers).
|
||
|
||
For example, add the access control header to Keycloak, like:
|
||
|
||
`Access-Control-Allow-Origin [URL-of Dashy]`
|
||
|
||
Note that for requests that transport sensitive info like credentials, setting the accept header to a wildcard (`*`) is not allowed - see [MDN Docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS#requests_with_credentials), so you will need to specify the actual URL.
|
||
|
||
You should also ensure that Keycloak is correctly configured, with a user, realm and application, and be sure that you have set a valid redirect URL in Keycloak ([screenshot](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1862727/148599768-db4ee4f8-72c5-402d-8f00-051d999e6267.png)).
|
||
|
||
For more details on how to set headers, see the [Example Headers](/docs/management.md#setting-headers) in the management docs, or reference the documentation for your proxy.
|
||
|
||
If you're running in Kubernetes, you will need to enable CORS ingress rules, see [docs](https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/user-guide/nginx-configuration/annotations/#enable-cors), e.g:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-origin: "https://dashy.example.com"
|
||
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-cors: "true"
|
||
```

## OIDC or Keycloak failure on numeric client IDs
|
||
|
||
If your IdP rejects the login with an *"invalid client"* / *"client not found"* error, and your `clientId` is a long numeric value, the cause is almost certainly YAML number parsing.
|
||
|
||
YAML parses unquoted numeric tokens as Numbers, and JavaScript can't represent integers larger than 2^53 (~16 digits) without losing precision. So an unquoted numeric `clientId` will be silently truncated (e.g. `918756876419824312` → `918756876419824300`), or — for very large values — converted to scientific notation (e.g. `9.187568764198242e+37`), and the IdP will reject it.
|
||
|
||
The fix is to wrap the `clientId` in quotes in your `conf.yml` so it gets parsed as a string:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
appConfig:
|
||
auth:
|
||
enableOidc: true
|
||
oidc:
|
||
clientId: "918756876419824312"
|
||
endpoint: https://idp.example.com/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The same applies to `auth.keycloak.clientId`. Dashy will print a warning in the [browser console](#how-to-open-browser-console) when it detects a numeric `clientId`, to help diagnose this.

## Docker Directory

|
||
Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you get an error similar to the one above, you are mounting a directory to the config file's location, when a plain file is expected. Create a YAML file, (`touch my-conf.yml`), populate it with a sample config, then pass it as a volume: `-v ./my-local-conf.yml:/app/user-data/conf.yml`

## Config not Saving on Vercel / Netlify / CDN
|
||
|
||
If you're running Dashy using a static hosting provider (like Vercel), then there is no Node server, and so the save config action will not work via the UI.
|
||
You'll instead need to copy the YAML after making your changes, and paste that into your `conf.yml` directly. If you've connected Vercel to git, then these changes will take effect automatically, once you commit your changes.
|
||
|
||
If you're running on Netlify, there are some cloud functions which take care of all the server endpoints (like status checking), so these will work as expected.

## Config Not Updating
|
||
|
||
Dashy has the option to save settings and config locally, in browser storage. Anything here will take precedence over whatever is in your config file, sometimes with unintended consequences. If you've updated the config file manually, and are not seeing changes reflected in the UI, then try visiting the site in Incognito mode. If that works, then the solution is just to clear local storage. This can be done from the config menu, under "Clear Local Settings".
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Config Still not Updating
|
||
|
||
Sometimes your text editor updates files [inode](https://linuxhandbook.com/inode-linux/), meaning changes will not be picked up by the Docker container. This [article](https://medium.com/@jonsbun/why-need-to-be-careful-when-mounting-single-files-into-a-docker-container-4f929340834) explains things further.

|
||
|
||
## Styles and Assets not Updating
|
||
|
||
If you find that your styles and other visual assets work when visiting `ip:port` by not `dashy.domain.com`, then this is usually caused by caching. In your browser, do a hard-refresh (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>F5</kbd>). If you use Cloudflare, then you can clear the cache through the management console, or set the cache level to Bypass for certain files, under the Rules tab.

## DockerHub `toomanyrequests`
|
||
|
||
This situation relates to error messages similar to one of the following, returned when pulling, updating or running the Docker container from Docker Hub.
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
Continuing execution. Pulling image lissy93/dashy:release-1.6.0
|
||
error pulling image configuration: toomanyrequests
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
or
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
You have reached your pull rate limit. You may increase the limit by authenticating and upgrading: https://www.docker.com/increase-rate-limit
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
When DockerHub returns one of these errors, or a `429` status, that means you've hit your rate limit. This was [introduced](https://www.docker.com/blog/scaling-docker-to-serve-millions-more-developers-network-egress/) last year, and prevents unauthenticated or free users from running docker pull more than 100 times per 6 hours.
|
||
You can [check your rate limit status](https://www.docker.com/blog/checking-your-current-docker-pull-rate-limits-and-status/) by looking for the `ratelimit-remaining` header in any DockerHub responses.
|
||
|
||
### Solution 1 - Use an alternate container registry
|
||
|
||
- Dashy is also available through GHCR, which at present does not have any hard limits. Just use `docker pull ghcr.io/lissy93/dashy:latest` to fetch the image
|
||
- You can also build the image from source, by cloning the repo, and running `docker build -t dashy .` or use the pre-made docker compose
|
||
|
||
### Solution 2 - Increase your rate limits
|
||
|
||
- Logging in to DockerHub will increase your rate limit from 100 requests to 200 requests per 6 hour period
|
||
- Upgrading to a Pro for $5/month will increase your image requests to 5,000 per day, and any plans above have no rate limits
|
||
- Since rate limits are counted based on your IP address, proxying your requests, or using a VPN may work

||
## Config Validation Errors
|
||
|
||
The configuration file is validated against [Dashy's Schema](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/ConfigSchema.json) using AJV.
|
||
|
||
First, check that your syntax is valid, using [YAML Validator](https://codebeautify.org/yaml-validator/) or [JSON Validator](https://codebeautify.org/jsonvalidator). If the issue persists, then take a look at the [schema](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/ConfigSchema.json), and verify that the field you are trying to add/ modify matches the required format. You can also use [this tool](https://www.jsonschemavalidator.net/s/JFUj7X9J) to validate your JSON config against the schema, or run `yarn validate-config`.
|
||
|
||
If you're trying to use a recently released feature, and are getting a warning, this is likely because you've not yet updated the the current latest version of Dashy.
|
||
|
||
If the issue still persists, you should raise an issue.

An error similar to: `Fatal error in , line 0. Unreachable code, FailureMessage Object: 0xffe6c8ac. Illegal instruction (core dumped)`
|
||
Is related to a bug in a downstream package, see [nodejs/docker-node#1477](https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/issues/1477).
|
||
Usually, updating your system and packages will resolve the issue.

## Warnings in the Console during deploy
|
||
|
||
Please acknowledge the difference between errors and warnings before raising an issue about messages in the console. It's not unusual to see warnings about a new version of a certain package being available, an asset bundle bing oversized or a service worker not yet having a cache. These shouldn't have any impact on the running application, so please don't raise issues about these unless it directly relates to a bug or issue you're experiencing. Errors on the other hand should not appear in the console, and they are worth looking into further.

## Status Checks Failing
|
||
|
||
If you're using status checks, and despite a given service being online, the check is displaying an error, there are a couple of things you can look at:
|
||
|
||
If your service requires requests to include any authorization in the headers, then use the `statusCheckHeaders` property, as described in the [docs](/docs/status-indicators.md#setting-custom-headers).
|
||
|
||
If you are still having issues, it may be because your target application is blocking requests from Dashy's IP. This is a [CORS error](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS), and can be fixed by setting the headers on your target app, to include:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://location-of-dashy/
|
||
Vary: Origin
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If the URL you are checking has an unsigned certificate, or is not using HTTPS, then you may need to disable the rejection of insecure requests. This can be done by setting `statusCheckAllowInsecure` to true for a given item.
|
||
|
||
If your service is online, but responds with a status code that is not in the 2xx range, then you can use `statusCheckAcceptCodes` to set an accepted status code.
|
||
|
||
If you get an error, like `Service Unavailable: Server resulted in a fatal error`, even when it's definitely online, this is most likely caused by missing the protocol. Don't forget to include `https://` (or whatever protocol) before the URL, and ensure that if needed, you've specified the port.
|
||
|
||
Running Dashy in HOST network mode, instead of BRIDGE will allow status check access to other services in HOST mode. For more info, see [#445](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/discussions/445).
|
||
|
||
If you have firewall rules configured, then ensure that they don't prevent Dashy from making requests to the other services you are trying to access.
|
||
|
||
Currently, the status check needs a page to be rendered, so if this URL in your browser does not return anything, then status checks will not work. This may be modified in the future, but in the meantime, a fix would be to make your own status service, which just checks if your app responds with whatever code you'd like, and then return a 200 plus renders an arbitrary message. Then just point `statusCheckUrl` to your custom page.
|
||
|
||
For further troubleshooting, use an application like [Postman](https://postman.com) to diagnose the issue. Set the parameter to `GET`, and then make a call to: `https://[url-of-dashy]/status-check/?&url=[service-url]`. Where the service URL must have first been encoded (e.g. with `encodeURIComponent()` or [urlencoder.io](https://www.urlencoder.io/))
|
||
|
||
If you're serving Dashy though a CDN, instead of using the Node server or Docker image, then the Node endpoint that makes requests will not be available to you, and all requests will fail. A workaround for this may be implemented in the future, but in the meantime, your only option is to use the Docker or Node deployment method.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Healthcheck Failing in Docker
|
||
|
||
If `docker ps` shows the Dashy container as `unhealthy`, it means the periodic healthcheck (`yarn health-check`, run every 5 minutes by default) couldn't reach the local server.
|
||
|
||
### SSL-enabled Dashy
|
||
|
||
The healthcheck reads the same cert paths as the main server (`/etc/ssl/certs/dashy-pub.pem` and `/etc/ssl/certs/dashy-priv.key`) to detect whether to probe HTTPS or HTTP. If you've mounted certs at non-default paths via `SSL_PUB_KEY_PATH` / `SSL_PRIV_KEY_PATH`, the healthcheck will pick those up automatically as long as those env vars are set in the container environment (not just at run time).
|
||
|
||
### Custom port
|
||
|
||
If you've set `PORT` to override the default 8080, the healthcheck honors the same env var, so it should work without changes. Make sure `PORT` is set in the container environment, not just in the host-side Docker port mapping.
|
||
|
||
### Slow startup on weak hardware
|
||
|
||
The healthcheck has a `--start-period=30s` grace period before failures count against the container. If your host takes longer than 30 seconds for the initial Vue build to complete (common on Pi 3 or similar), the first few healthchecks will fail and you may briefly see `unhealthy`. After the build finishes, subsequent checks should pass — see [High CPU or RAM Usage on Startup](#high-cpu-or-ram-usage-on-startup) below.

## Widget Errors
|
||
|
||
### Find Error Message
|
||
|
||
If an error occurs when fetching or rendering results, you will see a short message in the UI. If that message doesn't adequately explain the problem, then you can [open the browser console](/docs/troubleshooting.md#how-to-open-browser-console) to see more details.
|
||
|
||
### Check Config
|
||
|
||
Before proceeding, ensure that if the widget requires auth your API is correct, and for custom widgets, double check that the URL and protocol is correct.
|
||
|
||
### Timeout Error
|
||
|
||
If the error message in the console includes: `Error: timeout of 500ms exceeded`, then your Glances endpoint is slower to respond than expected. You can fix this by [setting timeout](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/widgets.md#setting-timeout) to a larger value. This is done on each widget, with the `timeout` attribute, and is specified in ms. E.g. `timeout: 5000` would only fail if no response is returned within 5 seconds.
|
||
|
||
### CORS error
|
||
|
||
If the console message mentions to corss-origin blocking, then this is a CORS error, see: [Fixing Widget CORS Errors](#widget-cors-errors)
|
||
|
||
### More Info
|
||
|
||
If you're able to, you can find more information about why the request may be failing in the Dev Tools under the Network tab, and you can ensure your endpoint is correct and working using a tool like Postman.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Widget CORS Errors
|
||
|
||
The most common widget issue is a CORS error. This is a browser security mechanism which prevents the client-side app (Dashy) from from accessing resources on a remote origin, without that server's explicit permission (e.g. with headers like Access-Control-Allow-Origin). See the MDN Docs for more info: [Cross-Origin Resource Sharing](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS).
|
||
|
||
There are several ways to fix a CORS error:
|
||
|
||
### Option 1 - Ensure Correct Protocol
|
||
|
||
You will get a CORS error if you try and access a http service from a https source. So ensure that the URL you are requesting has the right protocol, and is correctly formatted.
|
||
|
||
### Option 2 - Set Headers
|
||
|
||
If you have control over the destination (e.g. for a self-hosted service), then you can simply apply the correct headers.
|
||
Add the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header, with the value of either `*` to allow requests from anywhere, or more securely, the host of where Dashy is served from. For example:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://url-of-dashy.local
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
or
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For more info on how to set headers, see: [Setting Headers](/docs/management.md#setting-headers) in the management docs
|
||
|
||
### Option 3 - Proxying Request
|
||
|
||
You can route requests through Dashy's built-in CORS proxy. Instructions and more details can be found [here](/docs/widgets.md#proxying-requests). If you don't have control over the target origin, and you are running Dashy either through Docker, with the Node server or on Netlify, then this solution will work for you.
|
||
|
||
Just add the `useProxy: true` option to the failing widget.
|
||
|
||
### Option 4 - Use a plugin
|
||
|
||
For testing purposes, you can use an addon, which will disable the CORS checks. You can get the Allow-CORS extension for [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/allow-cors-access-control/lhobafahddgcelffkeicbaginigeejlf?hl=en-US) or [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/access-control-allow-origin/), more details [here](https://mybrowseraddon.com/access-control-allow-origin.html)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## CORS Proxy `connect ECONNREFUSED ...` or `getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND ...`
|
||
|
||
The target host is unreachable from the Dashy container. If the target is on the same host as Dashy, **don't use `localhost`** — inside a Docker container that resolves to the container itself, not the host. Use the host's LAN IP, the Docker bridge gateway, or `host.docker.internal` (on Docker Desktop). If the target is on a different Docker network, attach Dashy to that network too.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## CORS Proxy `Target-URL host '...' is blocked` / `must use http:// or https://`
|
||
|
||
To prevent the CORS proxy from being abused as a Server-Side Request Forgery vector, Dashy refuses to proxy a small number of host/scheme combinations by default:
|
||
|
||
- **Cloud instance metadata services** — `169.254.169.254`, `metadata.google.internal`, and the matching IPv6 forms. These are reserved magic addresses on AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Oracle Cloud and most other providers. A widget that successfully fetches them on a cloud-hosted Dashy can leak the host's IAM credentials, so they're blocked unconditionally.
|
||
- **Non-HTTP(S) schemes** — `file://`, `ftp://`, `gopher://`, `javascript:`, `data:`, and similar. The proxy is meant for HTTP APIs only.
|
||
|
||
If you're running Dashy in a fully isolated/private environment and you've deliberately decided you want to allow these (for example, you genuinely need to query your cloud provider's metadata API from a widget), you can opt out of all proxy restrictions by setting the environment variable:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
DANGEROUSLY_DISABLE_PROXY_RESTRICTIONS=true
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The variable is named so loudly because flipping it on a Dashy instance that's exposed to anything other than fully trusted users re-opens the SSRF surface — anyone who can hit `/cors-proxy` can then use Dashy as a relay to reach internal services. **Don't set it on cloud-hosted or internet-exposed deployments.**
|
||
|
||
Note that this is an all-or-nothing escape hatch, not a per-host allowlist. If you only need to reach one specific host that's currently blocked, please open a feature request describing the use case.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Widget Shows Error Incorrectly
|
||
|
||
When there's an error fetching or displaying a widgets data, then it will be highlighted in yellow, and a message displayed on the UI.
|
||
|
||
In some instances, this is a false positive, and the widget is actually functioning correctly.
|
||
If this is the case, you can disable the UI error message of a given widget by setting: `ignoreErrors: true`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Weather Forecast Widget 401
|
||
|
||
A 401 error means your API key is invalid, it is not an issue with Dashy.
|
||
|
||
Usually this happens due to an error in your config. If you're unsure, copy and paste the [example](/docs/widgets.md#weather) config, replacing the API key with your own.
|
||
|
||
Check that `apiKey` is correctly specified, and nested within `options`. Ensure your input city is valid.
|
||
|
||
To test your API key, try making a request to `https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London&appid=[your-api-key]`
|
||
|
||
If [Weather widget](/docs/widgets.md#weather-forecast) is working fine, but you are getting a `401` for the [Weather Forecast widget](/docs/widgets.md#weather-forecast), then this is also an OWM API key issue.
|
||
Since the forecasting API requires an upgraded plan. ULPT: You can get a free, premium API key by filling in [this form](https://home.openweathermap.org/students). It's a student plan, but there's no verification to check that you are still a student.
|
||
|
||
A future update will be pushed out, to use a free weather forecasting API.

## Widget Displaying Inaccurate Data
|
||
|
||
If any widget is not displaying the data you expect, first confirm that your config is correct, then try manually calling the API endpoint.
|
||
|
||
If the raw API output is correct, yet the widget is rendering incorrect results, then it is likely a bug, and a ticket should be raised. You can start to debug the issue, by looking at the widget's code ([here](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tree/master/src/components/Widgets)), and the browser console + networking tab.
|
||
|
||
If the API itself is returning incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate data then an issue needs to be raised **with the API provider** (not Dashy!). You can find the API provider included within the widget docs, or for a full list see the [Privacy Docs](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/privacy.md#widgets).

||
|
||
## Font Awesome Icons not Displaying
|
||
|
||
Usually, Font Awesome will be automatically enabled if one or more of your icons are using Font-Awesome. If this is not happening, then you can always manually enable (or disable) Font Awesome by setting: [`appConfig`](/docs/configuring.md#appconfig-optional).`enableFontAwesome` to `true`.
|
||
|
||
If you are trying to use a premium icon, then you must have a [Pro License](https://fontawesome.com/plans). You'll then need to specify your Pro plan API key under `appConfig.fontAwesomeKey`. You can find this key, by logging into your FA account, navigate to Account → [Kits](https://fontawesome.com/kits) → New Kit → Copy Kit Code. The code is a 10-digit alpha-numeric code, and is also visible within the new kit's URL, for example: `81e48ce079`.
|
||
|
||
<p align="center"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/hZ0D9vs/where-do-i-find-my-font-awesome-key.png" width="600" /></p>
|
||
|
||
Be sure that you're specifying the icon category and name correctly. You're icon should look be `[category] fa-[icon-name]`. The following categories are supported: `far` _(regular)_, `fas` _(solid)_, `fal`_(light)_, `fad` _(duo-tone)_ and `fab`_(brands)_. With the exception of brands, you'll usually want all your icons to be in from same category, so they look uniform.
|
||
|
||
Ensure the icon you are trying to use, is available within [FontAwesome Version 5](https://fontawesome.com/v5/search) (we've not yet upgraded to V6, as it works a little differently).
|
||
|
||
Examples: `fab fa-raspberry-pi`, `fas fa-database`, `fas fa-server`, `fas fa-ethernet`
|
||
|
||
Finally, check the [browser console](#how-to-open-browser-console) for any error messages, and raise a ticket if the issue persists.

## Copy to Clipboard not Working
|

If the copy to clipboard feature (either under Config --> Export, or Item --> Copy URL) isn't functioning as expected, first check the browser console. If you see `TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'writeText')` then this feature is not supported by your browser.
|
||
The most common reason for this, is if you not running the app over HTTPS. Copying to the clipboard requires the app to be running in a secure origin / aka have valid HTTPS cert. You can read more about this [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/71876238/979052).
|
||
|
||
As a workaround, you could either:
|
||
|
||
- Highlight the text and copy / <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd>
|
||
- Or setup SSL - [here's a guide](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/management.md#ssl-certificates) on doing so

## Unsupported Digital Envelope Routines
|
||
|
||
If you're running on GitHub Codespaces, and seeing: `Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported` when using Node 17+, it can be resolved by adding the `--openssl-legacy-provider` flag to your `NODE_OPTIONS` environmental variable.
|
||
For example:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This will be fixed once [webpack/webpack#17659](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/17659) is merged.

## How to Reset Local Settings
|
||
|
||
Some settings are stored locally, in the browser's storage.
|
||
|
||
In some instances cached assets can prevent your settings from being updated, in which case you may wish to reset local data.
|
||
|
||
To clear all local data from the UI, head to the Config Menu, then click "Reset Local Settings", and Confirm when prompted.
|
||
This will not affect your config file. But be sure that you keep a backup of your config, if you've not written changes it to disk.
|
||
|
||
You can also view any and all data that Dashy is storing, using the developer tools. Open your browser's dev tools (usually <kbd>F12</kbd>), in Chromium head to the Application tab, or in Firefox go to the Storage tab. Select Local Storage, then scroll down the the URL Dashy is running on. You should now see all data being stored, and you can select and delete any fields you wish.
|
||
|
||
For a full list of all data that may be cached, see the [Privacy Docs](/docs/privacy.md#browser-storage).

## How to make a bug report
|
||
|
||
### Step 1 - Where to open issues
|
||
|
||
You will need a GitHub account in order to raise a ticket. You can then [click here](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/issues/new?assignees=lissy93&labels=%F0%9F%90%9B+Bug&template=bug.yml&title=%5BBUG%5D+%3Ctitle%3E) to open a new bug report.
|
||
|
||
### Step 2 - Checking it's not already covered
|
||
|
||
Before submitting, please check that:
|
||
|
||
- A similar ticket has not previously been opened
|
||
- The issue is not covered in the [troubleshooting guide](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md) or [docs](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/tree/master/docs#readme)
|
||
|
||
### Step 3 - Describe the Issue
|
||
|
||
Your ticket will likely be dealt with more effectively if you can explain the issue clearly, and provide all relevant supporting material.
|
||
|
||
Complete the fields, asking for your environment info and version of Dashy.
|
||
Then describe the issue, briefly explaining the steps to reproduce, expected outcome and actual outcome.
|
||
|
||
### Step 4 - Provide Supporting Info
|
||
|
||
Where relevant please also include:
|
||
|
||
- A screenshot of the issue
|
||
- The relevant parts of your config file
|
||
- Logs
|
||
- If client-side issue, then include the browser logs ([see how](#how-to-open-browser-console))
|
||
- If server-side / during deployment, include the terminal output
|
||
|
||
_Take care to redact any personal info, (like IP addresses, auth hashes or API keys)._
|
||
|
||
### Step 5 - Fix Released
|
||
|
||
A maintainer will aim to respond within 48 hours.
|
||
The timeframe for resolving your issue, will vary depending on severity of the bug and the complexity of the fix.
|
||
You will be notified on your ticket, when a fix has been released.
|
||
|
||
Finally, be sure to remain respectful to other users and project maintainers, in line with the [Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/.github/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md#contributor-covenant-code-of-conduct).

## Public IP Widget not working for `ipinfo` or `ipquery` providers
|
||
|
||
If you've set `options.provider` to either `ipinfo` and `ipquery` and the requests are failing, it's likley that they're being blocked. Check your adblocker (uBlock, PrivacyBadger, etc), DNS block lists (PiHole, AdGuard, etc). Or, try proxying the request (with `useProxy: true`) or just try a different provider.

## How-To Open Browser Console
|
||
|
||
When raising a bug, one crucial piece of info needed is the browser's console output. This will help the developer diagnose and fix the issue.
|
||
|
||
If you've been asked for this info, but are unsure where to find it, then it is under the "Console" tab, in the browsers developer tools, which can be opened with <kbd>F12</kbd>. You can right-click the console, and select Save As to download the log.
|
||
|
||
To open dev tools, and jump straight to the console:
|
||
|
||
- Win / Linux: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>J</kbd>
|
||
- MacOS: <kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>Option</kbd> + <kbd>J</kbd>
|
||
|
||

## Git Contributions not Displaying
|
||
|
||
If you've contributed to Dashy (or any other project), but your contributions are not showing up on your GH profile, or in Dashy's [Credits Page](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/credits.md), then this is likely a git config issue.
|
||
|
||
These statistics are generated using the username / email associated with commits. This info needs to be setup on your local machine using [`git config`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config).
|
||
|
||
Run the following commands (replacing name + email with your info):
|
||
|
||
- `git config --global user.name "John Doe"`
|
||
- `git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com`
|
||
|
||
For more info, see [Git First Time Setup Docs](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup).
|
||
|
||
Note that only contributions to the master / main branch or a project are counted
