How to add a bookmark to a local website?
Hi, I am new to Homarr and want to add a link to a bookmark widget (file://192.168.178.3/Websites/Heimatkunde/index.html).
Nothing happens when I click to the bookmark link but the link is working with the Windows Explorer or a web browser.
How can I get the link to work?
Thank you in advance

I understand what you want to do, but I don't think Homarr will be able to do anything in this direction.

Can I install Homarr on a Raspberry Pi?
Hey, because of restrictions from browsers it's not possible to have links from http / https websites to local files. Thats because otherwise you could link to the current users files which should not be possible.
Is there any other way to open this local web page?
You would need to serve it with a web server, on windows you said, right? Then maybe IIS or any other light weight web server that can run on windows. Like
py -m http.server 8080 (Requires python)
Or in theory you can also mount the public directory of homarr and paste the html file in there 😂Yes, you are right. However, I think this feature is missing in Homarr for me.
Homarr is running in an UNRAID docker image.
Can you describe what exactly you would like to see then? IMO hosting custom http is not really the use case for homarr, but we could discuss it
file://192.168.178.3/Websites/Heimatkunde/index.html
index.html shows a website in Heimatkunde with private images, audio files and so on.
All files of the website are located in \Heimatkunde.
I want to use local folders in Websites on a file server to maintain private web sites.
It is because more and more websites are disappearing from the web
