Agent Issue

[ma-karai]

Hey Ho, Still digging this project. I tried to set up an agent via ENV var and i am gettin this error

error: ┗ [1] { component: 'agent', error: 'Only absolute URLs are supported' }

docker compose

 plugsy-agent:
    container_name: plugsy-agent
    image: plugsy/agent
    environment:
      - PLUGSY_AGENT_ENDPOINT="http://192.168.0.40:3000/graphql"
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

Ok some more testing on my end. The url has to be defined differently.

- PLUGSY_AGENT_ENDPOINT="http://192.168.0.40:3000/graphql" should be - PLUGSY_AGENT_ENDPOINT:http://192.168.0.40:3000/graphq"

however it seems its not possible to run an agent and a server on one docker host right ?

@Inlustra Hey Thomas, are you still working on plugsy ? IMHO one of the best things i have installed for my internal servers :)

Hi @ma-karai , I am still working on it, it's just been difficult to find time!

With regards to your question: you should be able to run an agent and a server on the same machine, though I would question why you would want that?

(As the server is itself an agent)

Hey @Inlustra

The reasoning for me is just out of convenience. I have 4 running servers and each of them has its own docker network, I did not create a large swarm network, because the swarm networks are apparently phased out. Each of the server has a single dashboard, sometimes I switch between these servers just from the plugsy plugin. Then i have a simple tablet in the living room where i would like to display all of my services and see at a glance what's online and what's not.

Some pictures. Anyway, when i create a docker compose file with a server and an agent i can't really send the info to a different server, not sure why.

As a side question, have the labels also changed into plugsy_ instead of dockerdash ?

Also let me rephrase how i think your add-on is just so much better than all these hard coded start pages, sure having the option to see the weather outside is great and all, but for me not really useful :) So thanks again for this tool, if you pm me PayPal address I'd like to donate you some cash for dinner or a six-pack of beers or a pound of coffee. haha

Environment variables changed, but the labels have not yet changed, I'll fix that now

I think I should rephrase what I meant - you can configure multiple docker connectors on the same instance without needing an agent + server

An example config:

{
  "$schema": "https://github.com/plugsy/core/releases/download/v6.0.0/core-config-schema.json",
  "loggingLevel": "verbose",
  "connectors": [
    {
      "type": "DOCKER",
      "config": {
        "id": "FirstMachine" // Important to use multiple ids if you have lots of the same connector
      } // This connector uses the default config (IE: Localhost)
    },
    {
      "type": "DOCKER",
      "config": {
        // This connector will connect to a different host
        "id": "SecondMachine",
        "dockerOptions": {
          // This is just an example, use an IDE and this will be autocompleted for you
          "host": "",
          "port": ""
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "DOCKER",
      "config": {
        // This connector will use the default connection parameters but uses the containerMap
        // as well as the labels to grab the container
        "id": "ThirdMachine",
        "containerMap": {
          "dockerdash-core": {
            "category": "Home",
            "icon": "@styled-icons/boxicons-regular/Crown",
            "name": "Plugsy"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Thanks for the offer of a donation, but as I can't spend a whole lot of time on this, I wouldn't want your money going to waste! You should donate to some of the projects that this is supported by!

I would also like to say that I do intend on making this into a full on dashboard - I want to get google calendars, a paperless-ng integration, home-assistant and all the things that I use at home. How we do this from a design and an API design perspective I'm still trying to work out.

But it's on my list, this is one of those projects I keep coming back to

I figured out how to do what i intended to do, and it works great. So i would not mind sending you a sixpack of beer (if you drink) or a pizza :) up to you :)
