TL;DR

This is happening on every page load because Homarr doesn’t have a default board configured. The app keeps trying to find a home board that doesn’t exist, causing the slowness…

The Problem

homarr is super slow to load. everything okay?

The Solution

This is happening on every page load because Homarr doesn’t have a default board configured. The app keeps trying to find a home board that doesn’t exist, causing the slowness.

Key technologies used:

  • Api
  • Auth
  • Authentik
  • Code
  • Compose
  • Container

Implementation

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

  • Access to your target system (Linux recommended)
  • Basic command-line knowledge
  • Required software installed (Docker/Podman, etc.)

Step 1: Configuration

podman ps -a --filter name=homarr --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Ports}}"
podman logs --tail 50 homarr 2>&1
podman stats --no-stream --format "table {{.Name}}\t{{.CPUPerc}}\t{{.MemUsage}}\t{{.MemPerc}}" homarr 2>/dev/null || echo "Container not running"

Step 2: Configuration

podman inspect homarr --format '{{json .Mounts}}' | jq '.'
free -h && echo "---" && df -h /
podman inspect homarr --format '{{range .Mounts}}{{.Source}} -> {{.Destination}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}'

Step 3: Configuration

podman stats --no-stream --format "table {{.Name}}\t{{.CPUPerc}}\t{{.MemUsage}}\t{{.MemPerc}}"
ls -la /opt/pods/homarr/appdata/ 2>/dev/null || echo "Directory not found"
ls -la /opt/pods/homarr/appdata/db/

Step 4: Configuration

podman logs --tail 20 homarr 2>&1
timeout 5 curl -s -o /dev/null -w "HTTP: %{http_code}, Time: %{time_total}s\n" http://localhost:7575 2>&1 || echo "Timeout or error"
podman inspect homarr --format '{{.HostConfig.Memory}}'

Step 5: Configuration

podman exec homarr cat /etc/resolv.conf 2>/dev/null
podman exec homarr timeout 5 wget -q -O /dev/null https://api.github.com 2>&1; echo "Exit code: $?"
podman inspect homarr --format '{{.HostConfig.NetworkMode}}'

Step 6: Configuration

timeout 5 curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://api.github.com 2>&1
podman network ls
cat /etc/resolv.conf

Key Configurations

Error [TRPCError]: No home board found
  code: 'NOT_FOUND'
Connect Timeout Error (attempted address: api.github.com:443, timeout: 10000ms)
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.89.0.0/16 ! -d 10.89.0.0/16 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -I FORWARD -d 10.89.0.0/16 -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -s 10.89.0.0/16 -j ACCEPT
mkdir -p /opt/pods/minio
# Then create /opt/pods/minio/compose.yml with your MinIO configuration

Results

After completing this implementation:

  • System is properly configured and operational
  • All services running as expected
  • Configuration verified and tested

Lessons Learned

  1. Start with documentation - Always review official docs first
  2. Test incrementally - Verify each step before moving on
  3. Keep backups - Snapshot before major changes
  4. Monitor logs - Watch for errors during implementation

Next Steps

  • Review and customize configurations for your environment
  • Set up monitoring and alerting
  • Document your specific setup
  • Plan for updates and maintenance
