Would like to be able to run under docker.

Could you provide a docker-compose.yml or instructions for installing app under docker.

Running this in Docker (especially Alpine) would require elevated privileges, systemd access, and host binaries, effectively defeating container isolation. As designed, it is not suitable for a secure containerised deployment.

Tried docker container running, partial function working, but cpu temp & utilization data could not display; it seems the data not cached correctly.

Probably the best way to run this would be to run a script on the host machine that grabs all the metrics you want, then feed that to an MQTT broker. Spin up the container and have it fetch the data from the broker! Would remove the security headache atc...

@dougle03 Thanks for the reply!
I am not sure it should use the broker as I am not familiar with php and docker security headache. I tried to enter the docker container when it is running, and could get those cpu temp & utilization numbers from 'cat' command which is used in .php code, the only problem is the web interface could not display those 'live' data, and I got some error messages like:
(from setup page)
1)Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /var/www/html/pi5-dev/setup.php on line 72,
(from chrome F12):
2) Content unavailable. Resource was not cached;
3) Uncaught SyntaxError:
Unexpected token '<', "

"... is not valid JSON
at JSON.parse ()
at main.js?v=1.1.0:267:21
Hope these information is helpful. And this is a nice app I love it. Thanks again!

What I mean was build a .py script that runs native on the machine, it grabs all the metrics that you need and publishes them to an MQTT broker running on the same machine (Either Docker container, or direct install). Then your dashboard can grab the data from the broker for dashboard use.
AI can help you write the main python script and the systemd service to make it work...

@dougle03 Ok, Thanks for your suggestion, I would try.
