🐳 Dual Registry Publishing & Icon Fix

Ever wanted more flexibility in pulling your TraLa image? Now you can! I've added Docker Hub as a secondary registry alongside GitHub Container Registry, giving you backup options for deployments. Plus, a sneaky bug in icon fetching for redirected services has been squashed.

How to Use

Pull from Docker registry:

services:
  trala:
    # Secondary (Docker Hub)
    image: dannybouwers/trala:latest

The icon fix is automatic - no configuration needed. Services behind redirects will now display their icons correctly.

🔓 Insecure Connections to Traefik API

Ever been frustrated by SSL certificate errors when connecting to the Traefik API over the Docker network? I've got you covered! With this release, you can now allow insecure connections to the Traefik API, making it easier to use TraLa in environments where redirects to HTTPS are configured on all entrypoints.

How to Use

Update your configuration.yml file to include the new setting:

environment:
  traefik:
    api_host: http://traefik:8080
    enable_basic_auth: true
    insecure_skip_verify: true # Skip SSL certificate verification for Traefik API (default: false)

Or use the environment variable:

services:
  trala:
    image: ghcr.io/dannybouwers/trala:latest
    environment:
      TRAEFIK_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY: "true"

What's Changed

• add support for insecure SSL verification in Traefik API connections by @dannybouwers in https://github.com/dannybouwers/trala/pull/78
• fix(deps): update module github.com/nicksnyder/go-i18n/v2 to v2.6.1 by @renovate[bot] in https://github.com/dannybouwers/trala/pull/76

🚀 Minimum Services Per Group

Ever felt like a group with just one service is a bit... lonely? Well, now you can set the minimum number of services required to form a group! No more "groups" that are just a single service hanging out by itself. Or, if you prefer, you can now allow single-service groups to form - because sometimes even a solo service deserves its own group!

What's New

• Configurable Minimum Services Per Group: You can now specify the minimum number of services required for a tag to form a group. By default, it's set to 2, but you can adjust it to your liking.
• Improved Group Size Algorithm: The grouping algorithm is improved to ensure that groups are more evenly sized, improving the overall organization of your dashboard.

How to Use

Update your configuration.yml file to include the new setting:

environment:
  grouping:
    enabled: true
    columns: 3
    tag_frequency_threshold: 0.9
    min_services_per_group: 2  # Minimum number of services required for a tag to form a group (default: 2)

Or use the environment variable:

services:
  trala:
    image: ghcr.io/dannybouwers/trala:latest
    # ... your existing TraLa configuration ...
    environment:
      GROUPING_MIN_SERVICES_PER_GROUP=2

🤖 Tag Fetching Improvements

Thanks to Ethan Sholly, the owner of selfh.st, who provided a custom integration for TraLa, I could simplify and make tag fetching more robust. You probably won't notice anything, but under the hood, the application now handles tags more efficiently and reliably.

What's Changed

• Using new Selfh.st Apps integration by @dannybouwers in https://github.com/dannybouwers/trala/pull/74

🚀 Smart Grouping

Tired of scrolling through a long list of services? With the new smart grouping feature, TraLa now automatically organizes your services into logical groups based on their tags from selfh.st/apps. No more clutter - just a clean, organized dashboard! And off course with the option to manually override it.

How it works

Smart grouping analyzes your service tags and configurations to create meaningful categories. For example, services with similar tags will be grouped together, and you can manually assign services to specific groups using the group field in service overrides. Groups can be collapsed or expanded individually via the frontend toggle.

Configuration Options

• Enable/Disable Grouping: Control whether smart grouping is enabled using the grouping.enabled setting in your configuration file or the GROUPING_ENABLED environment variable.
• Columns: Adjust the number of columns displayed in grouped view for extra-large screens (1-6 columns) using grouping.columns or GROUPED_COLUMNS.
• Tag Frequency Threshold: Fine-tune which tags are used for automatic grouping by setting a threshold (0.0-1.0) with grouping.tag_frequency_threshold or GROUPING_TAG_FREQUENCY_THRESHOLD.
• Manual Group Assignment: Override automatic tag-based grouping by assigning services to specific groups in the group field of service overrides.

Example

version: 3.1

# Service configuration
services:
  # Smart grouping settings
  grouping:
    enabled: true
    columns: 3  # Number of columns in grouped view (1-6), default: 3
    tag_frequency_threshold: 0.9  # Threshold for excluding tags present in more than 90% of services

  # Service overrides for display names, icons, and groups
  overrides:
    - service: "unifi-controller"
      display_name: "UniFi Network"
      icon: "ubiquiti-unifi.svg"
      group: "Network"

🚀 Translated frontend

With this version you can select the frontend language using the language parameter. You can now have a frontend in German or Dutch (next to the default English). Please create a PR if you would like to add another translation!

Next to that: fixes and updates.

How it works

The application's language can be configured either through the LANGUAGE environment variable or the configuration.yml file.

# Environment settings (optional, environment variables take precedence)
environment:
  language: nl  # change Language (Default "en").
