Seamless navigation bar to switch between self-hosted services

Seamless navigation bar to switch between self-hosted services

I self-host a lot of services on my server : Roundcube, ownCloud, Tiny Tiny RSS, Munin, phpMyAdmin... This static webpage allows to browse from one to another in a seamless way.

##How does it work?## The applications are embedded in a iframe while the navigation bar stays from click to click. Some javascript improves the experience (synchronising title and favicon, changing the URL hash, ...) but is completely optional.

##Requirements##

• All the services must be hosted on the same domain for full functionnality
• Some applications (ownCloud, phpMyAdmin...) have cross-site scripting protections, you have to disable it

##Configuration## The configuration is stored in the config.json file. You can use config.json.sample as a starting point.

• "position" : position of the navbar, can be "left" (default), "top", "right" or "bottom"
• "startpage" : default URL to load (absolute or relative)
• "links" : array of navbar elements :
  • empty objects will add a spacer
  • valid links must have these properties :
    • "url" : URL (absolute or relative) to load
    • "icon" : icon string, from http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/
    • "title" (optional) : tooltip

You can check you config.json online to debug errors

##Tips##

• If you bookmark the page after loading a link, it will always load this link (using the HTML anchor in the URL).
