dashboard.spatie.be

This repo contains the source code of our dashboard.

Example

Our configured dashboard has following tiles:

• Twitter stream with all tweets mentioning and quoting @spatie_be
• Clock/date/weather
• Team tile with todo's via GitHub files, remote status via Slack, current tracks via Last.fm
• Packagist downloads
• Internet up/down via WebSockets
• Velo status

How it works

Our own Freek Van der Herten gave a talk on the dashboard at Laracon EU where he explained how the dashboard works behind the screens. The talk was recorded and published on Youtube.

Installation

Install this package by running cloning this repository and install like you normally install Laravel.

• Run composer install and npm install yarn
• Run yarn and yarn run dev to generate assets
• Copy .env.example to .env and fill your values (php artisan key:generate, database, pusher values etc)
• Run php artisan migrate --seed, this will seed a user based on your BASIC_AUTH .env values
• Start your queue listener and setup the Laravel scheduler.
• Open the dashboard in your browser, login and wait for the update events to fill the dashboard.

Postcardware

If you are using our dashboard, please send us a postcard from your hometown.

Our address is: Spatie, Samberstraat 69D, 2060 Antwerp, Belgium.

All postcards are published on our website.

Support

This dashboard is tailormade to be displayed on the wall mounted tv in our office. We do not follow semver for this project and do not provide support whatsoever. However if you're a bit familiar with Laravel and Vue you should easily find your way.
