Add Portainer-like widget features to the DockHand tile (show running container count via API) #1584
Description
Description:
Currently, the DockHand tile doesn't offer the same level of integration as the Portainer tile. It would be great to bring feature parity between the two.
Feature request:
Add support for the DockHand API on the DockHand tile so it can display live stats, similar to what the Portainer tile already does — for example:
- Number of running containers
- Total number of containers (running / stopped / total)
- Possibly other stats already exposed by the Portainer integration (e.g. status indicators, resource usage) if applicable to DockHand's API
Motivation:
This would make the DockHand tile more useful at a glance, without needing to open the DockHand UI just to check how many containers are currently running.
Additional context:
Happy to help test this if a beta/PR is available.

The Dockhand tile now has enhanced support: linuxserver/Heimdall-Apps#980 (merged). It shows Running / Stopped container counts, authenticating with a Dockhand API token (Settings → API Tokens; leave the field empty if your instance has authentication disabled). By default it sums across all environments, or you can limit it to a comma-separated list of environment IDs in the tile config. There's also a Skip TLS verification toggle for self-signed setups.
It should show up once the app list refreshes - you may need to re-add or re-save the Dockhand tile to pick up the enhanced version.
I'd appreciate you testing if you can, this was built against the Dockhand source rather than a live instance. If anything misbehaves, please open an issue on linuxserver/Heimdall-Apps (this should have been opened there in the first place 😁).
