My custom service card doesn't work, nothing appears or offline status is displayed (pi-hole, sonarr, ping, ...)
You might by facing a CORS (Cross Origin Request Sharing) issue.
It happens when the targeted service is hosted on a different domain or port.
Web browsers will not allow to fetch information from a different site without explicit permissions (the targeted service
must include a special Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * HTTP headers).
If this happens your web console (ctrl+shit+i or F12) will be filled with this kind of errors:
Access to fetch at 'https://<target-service>' from origin 'https://<homergx>' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.
To resolve this, you can either:
- Host all your target service under the same domain & port.
- Modify the target sever configuration so that the response of the server included following header-
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS#simple_requests). It might be an option in the targeted service, otherwise depending on how the service is hosted, the proxy or web server can seamlessly add it. - Use a cors proxy sever like
cors-container,cors-anywhereor many others.
