I’m new to self-hosting, and I’ve stumbled upon Homer which seems like a good tool. However, it’s real tedius to go through editing the config file VIM based constantly.

So I’m just wondering if there exists any GUI based editors or generators out there, that allows me to specify the number of service groups and what service items that are in the group, and then get that exported as a .yml file.

If there is no tool out there, I’m considering just creating my own. But before sinking in those hours, I thought I might as well quickly ask in here and see if such a tool already exists?

    You better get used to it since selfhosting many projects involves that.

    That’s fair, and I can easily use it. I do it a lot when working with Docker, and handling servers at work. I just prefer a ‘proper’ GUI when it’s something like working with a large yml file.

    Also, maybe ‘generator’ was a bad word to use. I meant an editor. That was my bad. Another commenter suggested “Homarr” which I’ve set up now. There are some annoyances, such as: a category having to fill 100% of the width; or categories being just large in general. But I’ll play around with it some more, see if I can’t get it to be as I want.
