RealT dashboard in Umbrel AppStore ?

[anthony-robin]

Umbrel is an OS that runs on Raspberry PI allowing to locally self-host many open source applications available on the Umbrel AppStore.

A motivation to integrate the RealT dashboard would be better privacy regarding users personal informations (wallet address, wallet connect ...).

For example, Rotki allows users to manage all their different crypto wallets addresses into one application focusing on privacy by having their application available on the Umbrel AppStore.

What do you think about this idea for the RealT dashboard ? Do you think it could be worth considering one day ? I personally would love to have this option and would feel more confident regarding my wallet address or wallet connect not leaking any sensitive information !

Thank you :)

I like the idea, but there are a problem !

API CALL, ask Sigri maybe a solution exist.

I already think about a localhost alternative but you need an API key, today we are cool with that but in a near future it'll be more restrictive.

Ok for me, just need cache to don't call API at every refresh, but once a day is a good option.

Awesome, I'm sure it would be a great addition to have it as self hosted !

I suspected the API key to be a potential issue so here are some reflexions and questions I had:

• Are API keys only for developers or anyone can request one ?
• If latest, should this project have a frontend interface to allow users to submit and use their own API key ?
• If not, where to specify the single API key that will be shared by all users that will install the app from Umbrel Store without committing it ?

I also have other questions about the dockerization and construction of the project:

• Is currently the project Docker compatible, with an existing image published somewhere ? (I see a dashboard-v2-docker-compose.prod.yml that points to an image, is it working and up-to-date ?)
• Project is private. Is there any reason to not make it publicly visible instead of being member of the organization to see the code ?
• Should the one day cache apply to only RealT API calls or also to the one that get accurate rates (xDai/USD and Euro/USD) ?

• Will the project be maintained up-to-date and published frequently to the Umbrel Store as the online version ?

For information, here is the Umbrel documentation about how to submit an app. Is the current project structure compatible with Umbrel requirements ?

I never yet dockerized any app or submitted any app to Umbrel so I you have any experience on it, feel free to share your practice !

Thank you :)

API is only for dev for moment. In the future i think yes, but think in 1 year, need many development time

Complicated, can restrict api on referer (uri), but can't deploy on all users. Or need a gateway (you keep a backend), and you share keys for users.

But we work with a system without API for customer (for the moment it's possible, but there is no many details in requests)

Yes all projects are build on docker, but you need to build with docker compose, it's not published on dockerhub (paid) Project is private because in development, but very soon go to public. Day cache is for RealT API, other endpoint (like coingecko) can reach once per hour or more i think. For information, actual dashboard-v2 make 10k calls per day, for none update for properties, so very dumby.. Hum think can't clone code from dashboard, need to dev for it, and for the moment can't have many time for it, many tasks in progress

Thank you for the explanations !

It feels that dashboard v2 and/or API are still not yet mature to have an easy self-hosting solution. Let's take the time and be patient with development keeping this goal in mind :)

Note that it seems possible to run Docker on Umbrel just as it is to run it on Linux. The project already meets the requirements to be run as a Docker image with the dev config. So, I don't foresee any issues with running it on your own machine locally.
