Codex review: app-modify-all implies only app-create - app-use-all is implied by app-full-all alone. Putting use beneath modify in the ordered ladder therefore fabricated a grant: a legacy group holding just app-modify-all displayed as Modify, and touching the row or applying a preset silently granted use of every app. Ladders may now only contain keys that genuinely imply each other. Everything else is a capability with its own checkbox, so the app row is No access | Modify | Full plus "Use all apps" and "Create apps". A test asserts every ladder is a real chain, so this class of mismatch fails CI rather than shipping. Also documents in the API docs why app list endpoints can now return FORBIDDEN and why integration lists may return fewer records, as AGENTS.md requires.
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
# Point the docs at a local PocketBase instance
WORKSHOP_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8090 pnpm dev:docs
The standalone docs use WORKSHOP_API_URL for PocketBase and HOMARR_WEBSITE_URL for the public site origin. The old
WORKSHOP_URL name is a deprecated one-release alias.
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:fix # oxfmt (fix)
Typecheck
pnpm typecheck
Content Structure
docs/
├── getting-started/ # Installation guides, glossary, prerequisites
├── management/ # Boards, apps, users, integrations, settings, tasks, API
├── integrations/ # 56 integration guides (one folder each)
├── widgets/ # 43 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.
Verify search health:
pnpm verify:search
