Fenrus Dashboard - Font Customization Notes

Overview

Fenrus is a self-hosted dashboard running on Guava (TrueNAS Scale).

Portainer: https://truenas-scale.tail.vish.gg:31015/#!/home
Persistent volume: /mnt/data/fenrus:/app/data (DB and encryption keys only)

Current Font

Font: Montserrat (variable font)
File: /app/wwwroot/fonts/Montserrat-VariableFont_wght.ttf
CSS: /app/wwwroot/css/01_site.css (lines ~5-12, @font-face + html selector)
Additional font-family: "Montserrat" references in SCSS source files

Custom CSS Support

None. No built-in custom CSS injection, no font override in the theme system. Themes (/app/wwwroot/themes/) only control layout/placement via theme.json.

How to Change the Font

Edit @font-face and font-family in /app/wwwroot/css/01_site.css
Drop new font file (.ttf or .woff2) into /app/wwwroot/fonts/

Problem: These files are inside the container image, NOT in the persistent volume. Changes are lost on container update.

Persistence Options

Entrypoint wrapper (simplest) — script that patches CSS and copies font on every container start
Bind mount — mount a custom CSS file over /app/wwwroot/css/01_site.css
Custom Docker image (most robust) — FROM fenrus with font baked in

Status

TODO — revisit later.
