- Delete .cursor/goal files from git tracking
- Delete 4 dead /api/about routes (unused, data loaded from static JSON)
- Fix resolveAlias to use absolute paths (CodeRabbit)
- Fix Tailwind classes in Mantine app layout fallback (CodeRabbit)

# Homarr Documentation (`@homarr/docs`)
The official [homarr.dev](https://homarr.dev) documentation site, built with [Docusaurus 3](https://docusaurus.io/) 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/definitions` for 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**:
```bash
# Start the docs dev server (port 3003)
pnpm dev:docs
# Or from within this directory
pnpm dev
```
## Build
```bash
# 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):
```bash
pnpm lint # oxlint
pnpm format # oxfmt (check)
pnpm format -- --write # oxfmt (fix)
```
## Typecheck
```bash
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:
```typescript
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`](docsearch.config.js).
**Verify search health:**
```bash
pnpm verify:search
```

## Contributing
When making changes to the homarr codebase that affect user-facing behavior, **always update the corresponding documentation in this app**. See `.cursor/rules/documentation-sync.mdc` for the complete mapping of code changes to doc locations.
