glance-docker-container-ext

Glance extension that creates a widget that displays the running Docker containers.

Installation

Assuming you are using Docker compose, add the following to your docker-compose.yml file containing Glance container:

glance-docker-container-ext:
  image: dvdandroid/glance-docker-container-ext
  container_name: glance-docker-container-ext
  restart: unless-stopped
  environment:
    - DOCKER_HOST=unix:///var/run/docker.sock
    - PORT=8081 # Optional, default is 8081
  volumes:
    - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

then in your glance.yml config file, add the following:

- type: extension
  allow-potentially-dangerous-html: true
  url: http://glance-docker-container-ext:8081
  cache: 5m
  parameters:
    title: Docker Containers
    all: true
    order: name,status

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
title	Title of the widget	"Docker Containers"
all	Show all containers or only running ones	true
order	Order of the containers, comma separated string of name, status (name,status,name,status,status,name)	name
group	Identifier for the group of containers. If set, only containers with the same group will be displayed.
same-tab	Open the URL in the same tab. Value customizable per container	false
ignore-status	Status of the containers will not be displayed	false

Configuration

Then, for every container you want to monitor, add the following labels to its compose file:

labels:
  glance.0.enable: true
  glance.0.name: Sonarr
  glance.0.description: TV show search
  glance.0.group: media
  glance.0.url: http://sonarr.lan
  glance.0.icon: ./assets/imgs/television-classic.svg

⚠️ Multiple labels can be added to the same container. Read below

Label	Description	Default
glance.X.enable	Enable monitoring for this container
glance.X.name	Name of the container	container name
glance.X.description	Description of the container
glance.X.group	Identifier for the group of containers, used in combination with parameter group in glance configuration
glance.X.url	URL to open when clicking on the container
glance.X.icon	Icon to display, pointing to assets or Simple Icon (si: prefix)
glance.X.same-tab	Open the URL in the same tab	false

Value of X must be replaced with a number starting from 0: this allows to add multiple widget referring to the same container.

For example, if you want to define two widgets for the same container, but with different labels, you can do it like this (in the compose file):

labels:
  glance.0.enable: true
  glance.0.name: Container (ADMIN)
  glance.0.url: http://website.lan/admin
  glance.1.enable: true
  glance.1.group: User
  glance.1.name: Container (USER)
  glance.1.description: User access
  glance.1.url: http://website.lan/user
