Self-hosting your own apps and services is a great way to protect yourself from the mass data collection employed by big tech companies, and Dashy was designed to make self-hosting easier, by keeping your local services organized and accessible from a single place. The [management docs](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/management.md) contains a though guide on the steps you can take to secure your homelab.

It's fully open source, and I've tried to keep to code as clear and thoroughly documented as possible, which will make it easy for you to understand exactly how it works, and what goes on behind the scenes.

Dashy operates on the premise, that no external data requests should ever be made, unless explicitly enabled by the user. In the interest of transparency, the code is 100% open source and clearly documented throughout.

#### Other Icons
51
56
Section icons, item icons and app icons are able to accept a URL to a raw image, if the image is hosted online then an external request will be made. To avoid the need to make external requests for icon assets, you can either use a self-hosted CDN, or store your images within `./public/item-icons` (which can be mounted as a volume if you're using Docker).

#### Web Assets
54
59
By default, all assets required by Dashy come bundled within the source, and so no external requests are made. If you add an additional font, which is imported from a CDN, then that will incur an external request. The same applies for other web assets, like external images, scripts or styles.

#### Update Checks
64
71
When the application loads, it checks for updates. The results of which are displayed in the config menu of the UI. This was implemented because using a very outdated version of Dashy may have unfixed issues. Your version is fetched from the source (local request), but the latest version is fetched from GitHub, which is an external request. This can be disabled by setting `appConfig.disableUpdateChecks: true`

#### Cloud Backup
74
+
Dashy has an optional End-to-End encrypted [cloud backup feature](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/backup-restore.md). No data is ever transimtted unless you actively enable this feature through the UI.
75
+
76
+
All data is encrypted before being sent to the backend. This is done in [`CloudBackup.js`](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/CloudBackup.js), using [crypto.js](https://github.com/brix/crypto-js)'s AES method, using the users chosen password as the key. The data is then sent to a [Cloudflare worker](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/learning/how-workers-works) (a platform for running serverless functions), and stored in a [KV](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/learning/how-kv-works) data store.
77
+
78
+
Your selected password never leaves your device, and is hashed before being compared. It is only possible to restore a configuration if you have both the backup ID and decryption password. Because the data is encrypted on the client-side (before being sent to the cloud), it is not possible for a man-in-the-middle, government entity, website owner, or even Cloudflare to be able read any of your data.
79
+
80
+
#### Web Search
81
+
Dashy has a primitive [web search feature](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/docs/searching.md#web-search). No external requests are made, instead you are redirected to your chosen search engine (defaults to DuckDuckGo), using your chosen opening method.

This feature can be disabled under appConfig, with `webSearch: { disableWebSearch: true }`

#### Anonymous Error Reporting
67
86
Error reporting is disabled by default, and no data will ever be sent without your explicit consent. In fact, the error tracking code isn't even imported unless you have actively enabled it. [Sentry](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry) is used for this, it's an open source error tracking and performance monitoring tool, used to identify any issues which occur in the production app (if you enable it).

This is not an issue with Dashy, but instead caused by the target app preventing direct access through embedded elements. It can be fixed by setting the [`X-Frame-Options`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Frame-Options) HTTP header set to `ALLOW [path to Dashy]` or `SAMEORIGIN`, as defined in [RFC-7034](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7034).

As defined in [RFC-7034](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7034), for any web content to be accessed through an embedded element, it must have the [`X-Frame-Options`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Frame-Options) HTTP header set to `ALLOW`. If you are getting a `Refused to Connect` error then this header is set to `DENY` (or `SAMEORIGIN` and it's on a different host). Thankfully, for self-hosted services, it is easy to set these headers.
