Add-on screen shows the wrong host name/slug-id

[gcoan]

The problem

For any running add-on in HAOS you can see the hostname/slug id, useful if you want to call actions to for example restart the add-on from an automation:

However the add-on slug id is shown incorrectly, with the numeric part and the text part separated by a hyphen

If you look at developer tools / actions / restart addon the dropdown list gives the correct slug id’s which is the number and text name separated by an underscore.

if you try calling the restart service with the slug id from the addon details page (with the hyphen not the underscore), it fails

The hostname in the add-on info page is not the add-on (slugified) id - it is the hostname of the docker container running this add-on.

Ok so maybe the issue then is that the host name is shown on the add on page when all of the supervisor service calls (eg restart service) require the slug id not the host name.

This is inconsistent and causes confusion when determining parameters required for service calls.

I just noticed this for an addon I maintain: https://github.com/rwjack/addon-snapserver-spotify/tree/main/snapserver

Why does the slug have that odd hash in front of it?

I want it to be like core mosquitto for example:
