Dashy for Proxmox (alien.top)

Hello,

I am having a heck of a time editing my Dashy yaml file. There is a json text editor, I truly can’t wrap my head around the syntax it’s absurd. Sorry if you like json. I’d love to edit the yaml directly, but Dashy has a super unfamiliar authentication method. I can’t ssh because I don’t know the logins and was never prompted to set any. The guide says to do it in a terminal but that puts me in a bit of a catch 22 since I can ssh without the login creds. Even if I could, the guides are all set for docker and I really don’t know where I would go other than blindly listing directories until I stumbled on it.

Anyone able to help? I’d even be willing to use the json editor if someone could pull my head out of my a$$.

Huh what? YAML or JSON? They are not the same.

You cant ssh into your own host? What? Why are you trying to "ssh into Dashy"?!

Even if I could, the guides are all set for docker and I really don’t know where I would go other than blindly listing directories until I stumbled on it.

And the problem with that is...? Youre not even mentioning how you have installed Dashy. Is it in a LXC? In a VM? If you run it in either, then YOU will have the login details. How should Dashy provide those to you?!

Nothing here makes much sense, and top of all, this here is neither /r/DashySupport or /r/YAMLJSONSupport etc.

Maybe ask Dashy for Dashy support? -> https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/discussions
