v0.9.0 — Container & Service vital signs

on GitHub

The Containers and Services tabs grow new vital-sign columns: Ports, Uptime, Memory, and Disk. Port chips are clickable and open host:port in a new tab.

Highlights

📦 Containers tab

Image + Disk hide on viewports < 1100 px so the row still fits on a laptop. The Status column now drops the redundant "Up N days" prefix — uptime is its own column now.

🧩 Services tab

Enrichment runs only for the rows actually shown (admin/failed) — touching every loaded unit would mean hundreds of D-Bus round-trips per scan.

⚙️ Settings gear

Hosts and Alerts are set-once configuration, not live monitoring views. A new ⚙ gear in the topnav opens a small settings sub-nav with a "← Monitoring" link back. The main tab row drops to the six live tabs; deep links (#hosts, #alerts) still open in settings mode.

Other polish

• Star button CTA: gentle "if it helps, a ⭐ helps me back" before starring, soft "thanks! got ideas? → CONTRIBUTING" after.
• Memory + Disk values render uniformly as 0,00 GB across both tables (European decimal), so small footprints stay comparable to large ones at a glance.
• Public website on GitHub Pages, auto-built on every push to main and every v* tag — homelab-monitor.dev if/when the DNS lines up.
• Mobile-friendly landing page; dark-only color scheme; sharper screenshots with subtle borders; SVG architecture diagram.

⚠ Compose change required for Services Ports

To attribute LISTEN sockets to the right systemd unit, the container resolves /proc/<pid>/fd/* symlinks owned by other PIDs. That needs two things Docker doesn't grant by default:

cap_add:
  - SYS_PTRACE
security_opt:
  - apparmor=unconfined

Both are now in the upstream docker-compose.yml. If you keep a local override, add them — without these, the Services Ports column will stay empty (Memory still falls back to VmRSS, so it works in degraded mode). The container is already host-net, host-pid, host-root-RO, so the marginal trust delta is small; this is the standard pattern for monitoring stacks like cAdvisor.
