FEATURE REQUEST: monitor glance.yml for changes #29

Open bcurran3 opened 6 months ago

Request: It would be very nice if you monitored glance.yml for changes and then restarted the app automatically when a change is detected. https://github.com/gethomepage/homepage is very good at doing this.

Alternative: Continue to edit the config and manually restart container.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion!

I agree that it's not the most ergonomic workflow having to restart the container constantly. I'm not entirely sure how to implement this yet and it may require rewriting some core parts of the application. I'll put this into the backlog for now and come back to it at a later date after having had some time to think about it.

I'd like to throw in the idea of providing a URL for glance.yml configurations as well. Working within in an organization or a smaller team, it might be nice to subscribe to external configurations such that when you start the app, it will download and use the config.

Maybe simply add a widget with a button, that restarts the container? That can have other uses, but works as well for config changes
