[Feature Request]: example docker compose that actually has the relevant environment values

[MilkMGN]

Enhancement of issue

I have been pulling my hair out for 72 hours trying to make this project workon docker-compose. I found out about 5 minutes ago that there is a missing environment variable for API_PASSWORD on the nut-upsd service. This would have saved me DAYS.

Currently, just putting in the docker compose in (i believe) examples/basic/compose.yml as is causes the spinning wheel and a 500 server error.

Please, add it to the example docker-compose.

Solution

I can't be bothered making a PR but here is the BASIC setup needed to make this work. I did not go so far as to use secrets, though they could be added.

this codeblock is broken for some reason

`services: nut-upsd: image: instantlinux/nut-upsd container_name: nut-upsd devices:

• /dev/bus/usb restart: unless-stopped environment:

  • API_USER=CHANGE_ME
  • API_PASSWORD=CHANGE_ME

  peanut: image: brandawg93/peanut:latest container_name: PeaNUT ports:

• 8080:8080 restart: unless-stopped environment:
• NUT_HOST=nut-upsd
• NUT_PORT=3493
• WEB_PORT=8080

networks: default: name: nut_network`

Alternatives

Could also do a setup with secrets, or have this documented (Maybe where the current broken docker-compose is in README.MD?)

Additional Context

Thanks for the info! It's up to the user on how they want to implement their nut server and out-of-scope for this dashboard UI. But my examples do use that variable like here.

Nevertheless, hopefully this issue will save time for someone in the future.
