My idlers

A web app for displaying, organizing and storing information about servers (VPS), shared & reseller hosting, domains, DNS and misc services.

Despite what the name infers this self hosted web app isn't just for storing idling server information. By using a YABs output you can get disk & network speed values along with GeekBench 5 scores to do easier comparing and sorting.

V2 notes

V2 build is a complete overhaul of My idlers with the project being moved onto the Laravel framework. This will simplify development and most of the features from the original build will be present in V2.

Using Laravel will bring in an API endpoint and the possibilities to show servers publicly with certain parameters removed.

Notes

There is no authentication provided! Either use on a local network or put behind authentication.

Supporting YABS commands:

curl -sL yabs.sh | bash

or

curl -sL yabs.sh | bash -s -- -r

Make sure YABs output starts at the first line which is:

# ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## #

A trimmed Bootstrap is used. Only the used classes and elements are in style.css Therefore adding more obscure columns or Bootstrap classes will not initially work as intended until you put this source css into style.css.

Auto complete provider & location are text inputs! This means that if your choice isn't there then simply type it out and upon form submission it gets added to the pool to choose from next time.
