v1.17.3 — BOT_LABEL: multi-bot setups in a shared chat

10 hours ago

Added

BOT_LABEL — multi-bot-friendly notification prefix

Optional env var / Web UI field (max 32 chars). When set, every outgoing notification gets the label prepended so multiple Docksentry instances sharing a chat / channel can be told apart:

🖥 pve1 · 🔄 Auto Self-Update / 🗓️ New: ... | Old: ...
🖥 pve2 · 🔄 Auto Self-Update / 🗓️ New: ... | Old: ...
🖥 pve3 · 🔄 Auto Self-Update / 🗓️ New: ... | Old: ...

Applied across all three channels:

Channel Where the label appears
Telegram Prepended to the message text: 🖥 pve1 · …
Discord Added to embed title + footer (Docksentry · pve1)
Generic webhook New top-level bot_label field in the JSON payload

Empty (default) keeps single-host behaviour unchanged.

README: "Multi-bot setup (one group, multiple hosts)" section

Step-by-step for running one Docksentry per Docker host into a single Telegram group, with BOT_LABEL for identification. Includes:

  • Compose snippets for two hosts
  • @BotFather → /setprivacy → Disable reminder
  • Security checklist: TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS lock-down required, privacy-mode implications, group-trust caveat
  • Note that Telegram's own bot-to-bot filter rules out loop attacks

This is a stepping stone — not a replacement for the v2.0 multi-host refactor (you still maintain N bots, N containers). But it makes "one chat, all hosts" usable today.
