homarr/apps/nextjs

Homarr web application

This workspace contains Homarr's Next.js application. It consumes the shared API, authentication, database, board, widget, translation, and UI packages from this monorepo.

Run commands from the repository root:

bun install --frozen-lockfile
cp .env.example .env

Keep infrastructure running in the first terminal:

bun run docker:dev

Apply migrations and start the application in a second terminal:

bun run db:migration:sqlite:run
bun run dev

The app listens on http://127.0.0.1:3000. Configure an absolute writable DB_URL, AUTH_SECRET, and SECRET_ENCRYPTION_KEY in .env before first startup.

To test Custom Widgets against a local Community Workshop, start PocketBase and the docs in separate terminals:

bun run docker:workshop
WORKSHOP_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8090 bun run dev:docs

Then set:

HOMARR_WEBSITE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3003
WORKSHOP_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8090
WORKSHOP_WEB_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3003/workshop

Server-rendered runtime configuration exposes those URLs to the browser, so changing a production container's environment does not require rebuilding the Next.js bundle.
