v1.21.1 — Auto-detect Compose / Portainer stacks as groups

on GitHub

Follow-up to v1.21.0's Container Groups upgrade. Closes the loop on the "where do I even start" question — instead of clicking through a multi-select for every group, scan the host for stacks Docker already knows about and let you import them in bulk.

Added

🔍 Auto-detect Compose / Portainer / Swarm stacks

New button on the /groups page. Opens a modal listing every detected stack:

• Compose / Portainer / Dockge / podman-compose stacks (via the standard com.docker.compose.project label)
• Docker Swarm stacks (via com.docker.stack.namespace)

Per stack you can:

• Check / uncheck the whole stack to include or skip
• Drag-and-drop members to set head order (first = head, gets restart_dependents semantics when enabled)
• Include / exclude individual containers from a stack via per-row checkbox
• Toggle restart_dependents per stack — conservative default (off); user opts in
• See conflict badges: ↻ <group> when a container is already in another Docksentry group (moves on import), netns when a container shares a network namespace (VPN-sidecar hint), already imported when a same-named group exists

Smoke-tested on the maintainer's own host: 9 real stacks detected correctly (Nextcloud's 3-container set with db+redis+webserver, Paperless-NGX's 3-container set with broker+db+webserver, InfluxDB+NodeRed pair, plus 6 single-container projects).

Changed

Legacy Settings → Groups card is now a thin banner

The card stays — bookmarks pointing at /settings#groups continue to work — but the duplicated CRUD UI is gone. The button takes you to /groups where all the actual functionality lives. The v1.21.0 _groups_html helper is now dead code (kept for one release in case anything still calls it; removal slated for v1.22.0).

API

• /api/groups_detect (GET) — scan + group containers by stack label, return JSON {ok, stacks: [{name, source, containers, conflicts, exists}]}. Read-only.
• /api/groups_import_batch (POST) — accepts repeated stacks=<json> form values, each carrying {name, containers, restart_dependents, wait_seconds}. Same-named existing groups update in place. Returns {ok, created}.

Notes

• Manual docker run containers (no Compose project label) can't be auto-detected — they still go through the manual "+ New group" form. Auto-detect is for the 95% of real setups where stacks are Compose / Portainer / Dockge / Swarm-managed.
• No env vars or breaking changes.

Upgrade

docker pull amayer1983/docksentry:latest
docker compose up -d

Hard-reload the Web UI once so the new modal CSS + JS lands.
