## Supported applications
You can use the app to link to any site or application, but Foundation apps will auto fill in the icon for the app and supply a default color for the tile. In addition Enhanced apps allow you provide details to an apps API, allowing you to view live stats directly on the dashboad. For example, the NZBGet and Sabnzbd Enhanced apps will display the queue size and download speed while something is downloading.

Supported applications are recognized by the title of the application as entered in the title field when adding an application. For example, to add a link to pfSense, begin by typing "p" in the title field and then select "pfSense" from the list of supported applications.

## Installing
Apart from the Laravel 8 dependencies, namely PHP >= 7.4.32, BCMath PHP Extension, INTL PHP Extension, Ctype PHP Extension, Fileinfo PHP extension, JSON PHP Extension, Mbstring PHP Extension, OpenSSL PHP Extension, PDO PHP Extension, Tokenizer PHP Extension, XML PHP Extension, the only other thing Heimdall needs is sqlite support and zip support (php-zip).
If you find you can't change the background make sure `php_fileinfo` is enabled in your php.ini. I believe it should be by default, but one user came across the issue on a windows system.

Installation is as simple as cloning the repository somewhere, or downloading and extracting the zip/tar and pointing your httpd document root to the `/public` folder then creating the .env file and generating an encryption key (this is all taken care of for you with the docker).

You can do this by using `http(s)://docker_name:port` in the config section. Instead of the name you can use the internal docker ip, this usually starts with `172.`
## Languages
The app has been translated into several languages; however, the quality of the translations could do with work. If you would like to improve them, or help with other translations, they are stored in `/resources/lang/`.

## Running offline
The apps list is hosted on github, you have a couple of options if you want to run without a connection to the outside world:
1) Clone the repository and host it yourself, look at the .github actions file to see how to generate the apps list.
2) Download the apps list and store it as a json accessible to heimdall named `list.json`
2) Download the apps list and store it as a JSON accessible to Heimdall named `list.json`
With both options all you need to do is add the following to your `.env`
`APP_SOURCE=http://localhost/` Where `http://localhost/` is the path to the apps list without the name of the file, so if your file is stored at `https://heimdall.local/list.json` you would put `APP_SOURCE=https://heimdall.local/`
