Your default css is fine, it was issue in my custom CSS.

Yeah mine looks a lot better than your first screenshot but it could do with widening a little bit for other people that don’t have a custom CSS. Yours looks really good!

The CPU and Memory load column heading like my screenshot.

Yep it seems need more width...

When made 145px width, it was looks OK but sometime was drop down becosue no space, so made 150px in my case...

If you interested I used @Mattaton CSS with small customize by me :

DOCKER LABELS

You can add docker containers to folders by adding the label "folder.view2", the value of the label is the name of the folder.

Is this working for anybody? I am using folder.view2 - latest version.

Is this only working for docker container created with the unraid GUI or should this work as well using the compose plugin?

I tried several compose files but folder.view2 is not creating the folder automatically when adding a label to my service like:

labels:
      net.unraid.docker.managed: 'composeman'
      net.unraid.docker.webui: 'http://10.10.20.20'
      net.unraid.docker.icon: 'https://phpipam.net/css/images/logo_icon.png'
      folder.view2: 'phpipam'

Do I have to enable or trigger it somewhere or did I do it wrong?

Just to be clear, this is nothing to do with your custom css or anything you’ve modified?

I don’t use folders for VMs because I only have the 1 VM but if this is something broken in folderview2 I can have a look.

I don’t use compose but do you not need to create the folder first?

Also “latest version” doesn’t help sorry, I need to know your version number.

When writing files an unraid yes, we have to have the folders pre-created before the compost file runs as it will not be able to understand or maintain access nor create the folders needed like the unraid templates due for the CA.

This is due to the docker file having absolute path and how bind mounts work in Docker compose.

This is why a lot of my guides will go over having a default understanding of file passing and a very specific buying amount information at the very bottom of my compose file.

And at the very beginning before you even download or insert a compose file to unraid, you've already run the make folder, commands and the app data folder or the locations where you're looking to store the data...

Okay perfect. Do you use folderview2 with compose? Can you verify what the above person wrote is not a bug and just user error?

Unfortunately I don’t have the luxury of a test rig.

I think there was a misunderstanding. @bmartino1 is talking about appdata folders on the filesystem. I was talking about folders in folder-view. Anyway, I testet precreating the folder.view folder. Then startet my stack and the container are getting sorted into the folder. So just adding the label is not enough, we have to create the folder.view folder before. Maybe this can be added to the first post of this thread.

To be fair, the dev that started this thread hasn't posted in a few months. If you're running the version from the community apps store you'll be coming up with quite a few issues.

Guys, not a simple fix as I hoped... had to rewrite some stuff due to changes in unraid 7+ also the css theme for folderview will need to be updated so if you are brave enough to test this beta please disable theme.

 

It works for me ( as usually that does not mean much... ) but also @Masterwishx  was helping a lot with testing and seems like its working for him as well.

- Advance view was reworked a lot

- Added TailScale link to advanced view ( for some reason the translation is not loaded for it, could be a cache issue... but report back if it does look like this for you and I will have to rework the language/translation part next )

image.png.67a452ce8bb9395f4ee38dded46ca69f.png

 

- The links in the folder priew should work again

 

image.png.c3539cd8cdaf73ea90281f6dc850d459.png

 

- In this "beta" there is a debug option turned on, and its talking to web console a bit whats happening when docker tab loads etc... this help when you have issue you can save it to file and send it to me. 

- It also create log in /tmp/folder_view2_php_debug.log so you can drop that for me as well..

 

So please give it a test and let me know, then I will update Unraid listing and make it the default version (just with debug turned off :D)

folder.view2.plgfolder.view2-2025.05.16.txz

 

So this still isn't working for me, opening it up and using the menu WebUI button works, preview on default. Example of working button:

preview

But just clicking the direct WebUI button inside the folders isn't working. Example of not working WebUI Button:

preview

I'm on Unraid 7.2.3, using folderview2 2025.04.13 which is showing up to date in plugins.

I believe this is only fixed in one of his betas, I’m not sure which one because I never ran it.

This is fixed in the fork I modified though. If you’re wanting this resolved I’ve explained what I have done here. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/189167-plugin-folderview2/page/14/#findComment-1606306

I stopped using it with compose. In a default can install on v 6.9

It has issues since. And a few authors changed edits

When it did work I had no issues with compose.more docker start order...

Folder view broke parts of the unraid UI labeling which is why I installed and tested with it. I would need to install the plugin and play around. I can neither confirm nor deny user error. As quite a bit if we. Ui code css and other has changed since 6.9 to 7.2

Bugs I've even reported due to css text graphics error and not being shown...

I'm also not as active with edits as I can only suggest things for fixes as there was a folder needed in 6.9 when either transioned where we could add and edit some code on the USB in this folder or add scripts to test fix... Som the best I can do is install the plugin and report back.

Yeah I would like to but I feel like I need a docker compose user to test my version before I do that.

I’m still surprised to read that not all users are on Unraid v7+.

So they do work well with each other but the start order between the compose plugin and folder view cause conflicts.

Thanks for jumping on and running that test and highlighting that. Hopefully the other people running compose can see this.

Just a FYI Note over the years and watching/lurking on the forum...

in earlier versions of unraid v5 v6 era... when Docker Compose was actively being developed and the OG folder.view plugin was made, the 2 maintainers worked with each other. (This is where you see my OG labeling of folder.view foldername.) As originally, if both plugins were installed, it would auto make the folder in the docker and Compose ran the order so no conflict...

as AT first time compose creation, if folder.view was installed, it would make and add the Docker containers to that folder. Data lost on the forum and buried in the support.
https://forums.unraid.net/topic/114415-plugin-docker-compose-manager/

Vlad said he kept the legacy code of the OG plugin and Compose maintainer hasn't made much edits to the OG code. So I'm not sure with labeling of fodler.veiw2 what the labeling, if any of it, was save. Nor have I seen the folder.view code labeling work, but I haven't done good testing as I'm in and out.

I believe that folder.vew was meant for adaptation to unraid CA dockerman orchestration, and its best to not use folder view with compose with the above docker compose potential issues. Not that one couldn't... just ill-advised, as its a question of who, what, where,where and when... in terms of the file / stack...

I haven't seen issues when keeps all stack dockers in only folder like my example with compose and immich all of the dockers stack for immich.

but if you separate, like, all database dockers in a folder and break the potential for the start order. That's when I remember seeing some bugs. Its been a while since testing....
which I would say is out of scope for the plugin and would require edits / workarounds...

Even Vlad attempted backwards push forward code rename still goes over the backup and restore in folder v2
https://github.com/VladoPortos/folder.view2

So from my point of view I would say avoid Compose in conjunction with the plugin and do so at your own risk. not that one couldn't.

I don’t use compose so I apologise for my ignorance.

I see a few different compose managers, do they all overwrite the Unraid docker container start up? Do they fundamentally function the same and just appear different?

From the screenshots I’ve seen it looks like the compose managers almost do what folderview does as far as organising the containers.

Are you wanting folderview2 to ignore the container start up order if compose is installed?
