Original data by the awesome-selfhosted community, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0

This projects uses Svelte and Tailwind.

The projects are crawled from Awesome Selfhosted and then additional data is fetched from GitHubs GraphQL API.

You will need a personal access token from Github to be able to use the GraphQL API. More information on this can be found under "Managing your personal access tokens".

It is recommended to use a fine-grained personal access token without any access rights. This is possible because fine-grained personal access have access to public repos per default.

The personal access token needs to be added to a .env file in the root directory.

TOKEN_GITHUB=abcdefg.....

Clone the repository, install the dependencies and start the development server:

npm install
npm run dev

# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --open

It is recommended to statically generate Awwesome instead of server render the site, because the GraphQL queries can take long and therefore reduce the user experience.

# generate a static build
npm run build

# preview the generated build in a local webserver
npm run preview

Awwesome can be deployed using Docker and docker compose using this docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'
services:
  ofelia:
    image: mcuadros/ofelia:latest
    container_name: ofelia
    depends_on:
      - source
    command: daemon --docker
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
    labels:
      ofelia.job-run.awwesome.schedule: "@daily"
      ofelia.job-run.awwesome.container: "awwesome"
  source:
    image: mkitzmann/awwesome
    container_name: awwesome
    working_dir: /usr/src/app
    environment:
      TOKEN_GITHUB: ${TOKEN_GITHUB}
    command: sh -c "npm run build && rm -r html/* && cp -r dist/* html && exit"
    volumes:
      - shared_volume:/usr/src/app/html
  web:
    image: nginx
    container_name: nginx
    ports:
      - "8080:80"
    volumes:
      - shared_volume:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro
volumes:
  shared_volume:

This will generate the static website daily using ofelia. The website is served by an nginx server which is mapped to port 8080 on the host computer.

The environment variable TOKEN_GITHUB needs to be provided (see Personal Access Token).
