Helm docs

Locally

Clone the repo and run the following command to generate the hajimari binary:

make deps
make build

Or for local development with hot reload:

make deps
make dev

You will need to have go 1.19 and node 18 installed.

Hajimari will need access to a kubeconfig file for a service account with access to ingress and endpoint slice objects.

Usage

Ingresses

Hajimari looks for specific annotations on Ingresses.

Add the following annotations to your ingresses in order for it to be discovered by Hajimari:

Annotation	Description	Required
`hajimari.io/enable`	Add this with value `true` to the ingress of the app you want to show in Hajimari	`true`
`hajimari.io/icon`	Icon name from MDI icons	`false`
`hajimari.io/appName`	A custom name for your application. Use if you don't want to use the name of the ingress	`false`
`hajimari.io/group`	A custom group name. Use if you want the application to show in a different group than the namespace it is running in	`false`
`hajimari.io/instance`	A comma separated list of name/s of the Hajimari instance/s where you want this application to appear. Use when you have multiple Hajimari instances	`false`
`hajimari.io/url`	A URL for the Hajimari app (This will override the ingress URL). It MUST begin with a scheme i.e., `http://` or `https://`	`false`
`hajimari.io/targetBlank`	Determines if links should open in new tabs/windows	`false`
`hajimari.io/info`	A short description of the Hajimari app	`false`

labelSelector	Filter namespaces based on kubernetes metav1.LabelSelector type	null	metav1.LabelSelector

AppGroup

If you want to add any apps that are not exposed through ingresses or are external to the cluster, you can use the custom apps feature. You can pass a list of custom apps inside the config.

Field	Description	Type
group	Name of the group (namespace)	String
apps	A list of custom apps	[]App

App

Custom apps can be added by configuring a list of apps under an app group.

Field	Description	Type
name	Name of the custom app	String
icon	Icon name or URL for the custom app	String
url	URL of the custom app	String
info	Short description of the custom app	String
targetBlank	Open app in a new window/tab	Bool

BookmarkGroup

Bookmark groups can be added by creating a list of groups and associated bookmarks.

Field	Description	Type
group	Name of the bookmark group	String
bookmarks	Array of bookmarks	[]Bookmark

Bookmarks can be added by configuring a list of bookmarks under a group.

Bookmark

Field	Description	Type
name	Name of the bookmark	String
icon	Icon name or URL for the bookmark	String
url	URL of the bookmark	String
targetBlank	Open bookmark in a new window/tab	Bool

Search

The search bar has a few functionalities:

If a query starts with / (similiar to vi/vim's search) it will filter the applications in real time allowing you to quickly find the app you're looking for.
If a query starts with @<token> and matches a token configured for a searchProvider then the request will be forwarded to the configured searchUrl with {query} replaced with the portion of the query after the token.
If no query is provided following the token or there is no searchUrl configured for the provider, then the user will be redirected to the contents of url. This allows you to use tokens to quickly access external sites.

Icons

Any icon field can be either an Iconify supported icon (ex: mdi:kubernetes, simple-icons:google) or a URL to an image.

Custom startpage setup

Open Hajimari in your browser, click the hamburger menu in the lower lefthand corner.
Modify the options you wish to change in the built-in YAML editor.
Click Save and you'll be redirected to your new custom page with a random ID on the URL. Set this page as your homepage/new tab page. For the best experience in Firefox I recommend the New Tab Override extension; for Chrome Custom New Tab URL.
You can make further modifications to this page at anytime under the hamburger menu.

Please note there is no authentication. You might want to run this behind ingress with access restrictions.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change.

Run make help for information on linting, tests, etc.

About

Why Hajimari?

Hajimari (始まり) is Japanese for beginnings. Hajimari's original intended purpose is to be used as a browser startpage, so the name seemed fitting as it's the beginning of all new tabs/windows :)

Thank you / dependencies
