container/{name} URL instead of /{id}

[ton77v]

When you select a container, you get the URL like ".../container/d787f21fae1e"

The issue with container id in URL is that it changes after the container restart, so my suggestion is to use the container_name when it's set (falling back to the id)

If you have names set, you may share/bookmark these URLs

This is a bit complicated. Using ID or name both have their pros and cons. However, names can conflict between nodes so I opted for id.

The issue with container id in URL is that it changes after the container restart

Dozzle automatically redirects to new containers so this should not be an issue.

If you have names set, you may share/bookmark these URLs

I think that's actually more confusing, and probably not what Dozzle should do. If the bookmark is for something that doesn't exists anymore then it's better to be explicit. Otherwise, Dozzle has no idea if it was an old container that doesn't exist anymore.

You can already redirect with name though https://dozzle.dev/guide/faq#we-have-tools-that-use-dozzle-when-a-new-container-is-created-how-can-i-get-a-direct-link-to-a-container-by-name

There is no single right way though. At this point it would be too much work to use names any way.

Oh wow, thanks I wasn't aware of /show?name= redirect 👍

Umm, maybe I was doing something wrong 😀 will re-check, but I was under impression that if you have a browser tab open with /container/ID, after re-deployment you have to reload the UI etc.

Nope. As long as the browser is open while the container is restarting it will redirect to the new container with the same name.
