Dashboard running inside Docker-compose

[mexanichp]

Hey,

I'm setting up a local environment with docker-compose.yaml following this guide and I'm wondering is it possible to include the dashboard in the compose configuration as well? What I've tried so far:

## ... several services with dapr sidecars and custom-network and components volumes

placement:
  image: "daprio/dapr"
  command: ["./placement", "-port", "50006"]
  ports:
    - "50006:50006"
  networks:
    - custom-network

dapr-dashboard:
  image: "daprio/dashboard"
  ports:
    - "8888:8080"
  networks:
    - custom-network

networks:
  custom-network:

The configuration itself works fine - I was able to invoke one service from another via dapr service invocation but dashboard doesn't recognize dapr sidecar containers, components:

I'm wondering is there any way to somehow point Dashboard to the app-ids of services or any other way to make it work?

Thanks!

dashboard can't get applications when running in standalone with docker

// getStandaloneInstances returns the Dapr instances running in the standalone environment

import (
    ......
    "github.com/dapr/cli/pkg/standalone"
        ......
)
......
func (i *instances) getStandaloneInstances(scope string) []Instance {
    list := []Instance{}
    output, err := standalone.List()

......

standalone.List() import from dapr cli "github.com/dapr/cli/pkg/standalone"

dapr cli project file: /pkg/standalone/list.go
when list all dapr applications
frist: filter sidecar process

 // Populates the map if all data is available for the sidecar.
for _, proc := range processes {
	executable := strings.ToLower(proc.Executable())
	if (executable == "daprd") || (executable == "daprd.exe") {
		procDetails, err := process.NewProcess(int32(proc.Pid()))
		if err != nil {
			continue
		}

then: filter cli process

   // The master list comes from cli processes, even if sidecar is not up.
for _, proc := range processes {
	executable := strings.ToLower(proc.Executable())
	if (executable == "dapr") || (executable == "dapr.exe") {
		pID := proc.Pid()

can't find dapr process

This is a missing feature. It was never designed to run inside a container for local mode, only K8s. I can take a PR that enabled container mode for the Dashboard.

I had the same issues, building a local image including this PR #252 solved it for me.

any update on this :) ?

[hernandoz]

this would be a great if we can access the dashboard in a docker Network +1 , any updates ?

Any updates? I can see #38 that had an example commit for this was closed referencing this issue. Is it just when running on a custom network with docker-compose it's not working now?
