PIng / Status Check
Thanks for a great dashboard solution.
I've created apps for various devices such as AppleTV, Chromecast, etc. I can successfully ping these devices but Homarr status dot is still red. There is no gui/web interface on these devices.
Should status be green if ping is working??
Thanks

Can I install Homarr on a Raspberry Pi?
simple pings only works for http/https. In the next weeks release we'll publish a feature to configure a custom ping url that can be different than the url to open when clicking the app. In the future we'll add support for uptime kuma which also supports other protocols
thanks mate...newbie question, if I ping a LAN IP address, is that not http?? e.g. "http://125.178.1.50"
Depends, you can not
ping http://127.0.0.1
, so only if your services expose any http service it works with http://127.0.0.1
got it...thx
