* fix: keep nginx IPv6 listen only when IPv6 is available (#4596)
Commit 2c48b1896 (1.45.2) made the internal nginx proxy listen on the IPv6
wildcard ('listen [::]:7575;'), which aborts nginx startup on hosts/VMs with
IPv6 disabled:
nginx: [emerg] socket() [::]:7575 failed (97: Address family not supported by protocol)
A plain revert would reintroduce #2697 and break IPv6-only/dual-stack
environments where this listener is required. Instead, only emit the IPv6
listen directive when the host actually has IPv6 configured.
Reuse the envsubst step run.sh already performs: compute NGINX_LISTEN_IPV6
from /proc/net/if_inet6 and substitute it into the template. proc files always
report size 0, so presence is detected by grepping the file (not 'test -s').
* fix: honor HOMARR_DISABLE_IPV6 override in nginx config generation
Review feedback on #6539: give users an explicit opt-out from the IPv6
listener even when the host reports IPv6. The issue reporter (#4596)
requested such an env var, and the pattern matches the existing
ENABLE_DNS_CACHING IPv6 toggle. Auto-detection behavior is unchanged when
the var is unset. Validated in containers: override wins, dual-stack
preserved by default, IPv4-only fallback on IPv6-less hosts.
Homarr Documentation (@homarr/docs)
The official homarr.dev documentation site, built with Docusaurus 3 and living inside the Homarr monorepo.
Why it's in the monorepo
Having documentation alongside the application code enables:
- Two-way linking — the docs app imports from
@homarr/definitionsfor type-safe integration/widget metadata, and the main app references doc paths via generated sitemap types - Atomic PRs — code changes and their documentation updates ship in the same pull request
- Shared tooling — same Node version, pnpm catalog, oxlint/oxfmt, CI pipeline
- Build-time validation — Docusaurus strict mode catches broken links and references at build time
Development
From the monorepo root:
# Start the docs dev server (port 3003)
pnpm dev:docs
# Or from within this directory
pnpm dev
Build
# Build docs only
pnpm turbo build --filter=@homarr/docs
# Build everything (docs + main app + tasks + websocket)
pnpm build
Lint & Format
Uses oxlint and oxfmt (same as the rest of the monorepo):
pnpm lint # oxlint
pnpm format # oxfmt (check)
pnpm format -- --write # oxfmt (fix)
Typecheck
pnpm typecheck
Content Structure
docs/
├── getting-started/ # Installation guides, glossary, prerequisites
├── management/ # Boards, apps, users, integrations, settings, tasks, API
├── integrations/ # 55 integration guides (one folder each)
├── widgets/ # 42 widget guides (one folder each)
├── advanced/ # SSO, env vars, proxy, styling, CLI, development
└── community/ # FAQ, donate, license, translations, get-in-touch
Each integration/widget doc follows a consistent pattern:
index.ts— typed metadata (IntegrationDefinition/WidgetDefinition)index.mdx— content using shared React components (IntegrationHeader,WidgetHeader, etc.)
Importing from homarr packages
The docs app has @homarr/definitions as a workspace dependency. You can import integration kinds, widget kinds, and other definitions directly:
import { IntegrationKind } from '@homarr/definitions';
This enables type-safe references to homarr domain concepts within documentation code.
Search (Algolia DocSearch)
Search uses the Docusaurus Algolia index (crawler cd77a285-2756-4557-bf21-ee703748df15). A separate markdown index is built for LLM markdown indexing.
Crawler reference config: docsearch.config.js.
