discourse-container-names-with-gon

version 0.1.87

Current Status

Live testing on https://community.unix.com/

This Discourse plugin uses either (A) two environmental variables specified in the Discourse container yml file or (B) the Discourse system ENV["DATA_NAME"] environmental variable to show the names of the containers in the admin area:

If you wish to override ENV["DATA_NAME"] then the container names or ids of the containers listed in the yml file for two env vars should be as follows:

DISCOURSE_CONTAINER_MAIN = "your_app_container_name"
DISCOURSE_CONTAINER_DATA = "your_data_container_name"

However, the two environmental variables above are not required because the container names are derived from another Discourse system environmental variable in this version of the plugin:

ENV["DISCOURSE_DB_HOST"].upcase
data_env = data_container + "_NAME"
ENV[data_env]

In addition, this plugin displays partial disk space information using the df command inside the container.
