FAQ
How do I deploy Dashwise in a production environment?
Use the provided docker-compose.yaml. It pulls the pre-built image (currently ARM only) and sets up the PocketBase backend. Run `docker compose up -d` to start the services.
How can I run Dashwise locally for development?
Install dependencies with `bun install` and start the workspace with `bun run dev`. The PocketBase backend can be started via the aio container (default) or connected to an external database, though the latter is not recommended due to potential migration failures.
What backend does Dashwise use?
Dashwise uses PocketBase as its backend. The API layer is built with Bun and Hono, while the frontend is a React SPA bundled with Bun.
Where can I find the environment variable configuration?
All supported environment variables are documented in docs/Configuration.md. Refer to that file for detailed configuration options.
How do I add a new integration to Dashwise?
Create a new integration by following the guidelines in docs/integrations.md. The documentation explains the required structure and how to register the integration with Dashwise.
How can I send notifications to Dashwise?
Dashwise accepts PUSH notifications via the endpoint `/api/v1/notifications/TOPIC-NAME`. Send a POST request to that URL with the notification payload to trigger a notification.
